I think the Iran War confirms the thesis that Castro-Chavismo is a
particularly coward form of bourgeois nationalism. This is true not only
if one compares their approach to that of the Palestinian resistance.
Even the reactionary Mullah regime is much more willing to fight back
against U.S. imperialism.

The US naval blockade, which prevents Venezuela from exporting any oil
at all without US permission, has put the Venezuelan government in a
very weak position, and forced it to make big concessions. Has it
conceded too much? Two views:

Jessica Dos Santos: "The spectacle of a Trump administration official
getting the red carpet treatment, six weeks after that same
administration bombed Caracas and kidnapped the Venezuelan president,
was puzzling for many of us, to put it mildly.
"We are told that Delcy Rodríguez has a gun to her head, and I totally
agree. But she smiles while this gun is cocked and I find it hard to
completely ignore what I see and hear."

Manolo de los Santos: "A close look at the facts will prove that
what we are witnessing is not surrender but a tactical retreat in the
face of overwhelming force for which there are clear analogies in
revolutionary history."

Meanwhile, Venezuelans continue to demand freedom for Nicolas Maduro
and Cilia Flores:

Hundreds of thousands across Venezuela flooded the streets on Tuesday
in the Great March for Peace, Freedom, and Sovereignty to demand the
release of First Lady Cilia Flores and President Nicolás Maduro. The
mobilization marks exactly two months since their kidnapping on Jan. 3
by US imperialism, a day when US military forces carried out multiple
bombings that killed more than 100 people and wounded dozens more.
In Caracas, the march covered

than two kilometers, beginning at Alí Primera Park in Catia and
proceeding along the emblematic Sucre Avenue....
Similar mass mobilizations took place
<https://ultimasnoticias.com.ve/actualidad/pueblo-exige-liberacion-del-presidente-maduro-a-dos-meses-de-su-secuestro/> in
Petare, east of Caracas, and across states including Monagas, Cojedes,
Mérida, Delta Amacuro <https://www.instagram.com/p/DVbe1WEji2p>, and
Táchira. Demonstrations were also reported internationally; in
Brussels, Belgium, protesters marched
<https://x.com/misionven_ue/status/2028920291448217634> in support of
Flores and Maduro, who remain kidnapped by the Donald Trump regime.
Another protest was scheduled

City, where the presidential couple is being held.
