On January 3, 2026, the US launched a military attack against Venezuela, bombing multiple sites and kidnapping President Nicolás Maduro.

The episode marked a new chapter in the US’ quarter-century-long hybrid warfare campaign against the Bolivarian Revolution. After coup attempts, economic sanctions, financing opposition NGOs, etc., the Trump administration launched an outright attack in the most blatant violation of international law and Venezuelan sovereignty.

Washington’s escalations were made possible every step of the way by a complicit and enthusiastic media establishment. Even with absurd and debunked narratives like “narco-terrorism,” corporate media outlets were more than happy to echo US talking points and lay the ground work for these crimes.

That’s where Venezuelanalysis comes in. For over 20 years, we have provided accurate, on-the-ground reporting that challenges the Western media bias and lies, while also putting the spotlight on Bolivarian popular movements that never feature in mainstream coverage.

With the Trump administration currently blackmailing Venezuela and threatening other countries, the work of independent media is more important than ever.

Every contribution helps us provide accurate on-the-ground coverage of Venezuelan resistance against this imperialist offensive.
