Venezuela’s Alleged Plot Against U.S. Embassy Exposes Dangerous Washington-Venezuela Tensions

In a revealing disclosure, Jorge Rodríguez, head of Venezuela’s National Assembly, asserted that the recent alleged plot to attack the U.S. Embassy in Caracas was no random act of violence but a calculated attempt to manufacture a “casus belli”—a justification for war. This claim emerges against the backdrop of heightened U.S. military presence in the Caribbean, dangerously close to Venezuelan waters.

Rodríguez emphasized the significance of the timing, arguing that the planned use of explosives against the embassy was designed to “promote, trigger, and accelerate violence” aimed at destabilizing Venezuela’s sovereignty and internal peace. The pattern, he notes, aligns with historical U.S. strategies where provocative incidents serve as pretexts for intervention—highlighting a troubling continuity in Washington’s foreign policy playbook.

Is Washington Orchestrating Chaos to Justify Regime Change?

Since diplomatic relations were severed in 2019 following the U.S. refusal to recognize Nicolás Maduro’s presidency, tensions have only escalated. Rodríguez called attention to intelligence operations that identified all participants in the purported terrorist plan, though details remain undisclosed. He urged national unity in rejecting attempts to fabricate crises that could serve as cover for regime change efforts—a strategy openly acknowledged by some U.S. lawmakers pushing for increased intervention.

The accusations from Venezuela find echo in a recent rebuke from the Democratic Party’s Foreign Affairs Committee in the U.S., which accused the Trump administration and figures like Secretary of State Marco Rubio of fomenting war and destabilization in Caracas. This bipartisan alarm resonates with the growing unease among Americans about unilateral military actions that ignore Congressional authority and risk dragging the nation into foreign conflicts.

Lessons for America: Defending Sovereignty Means Rejecting Provocations

As Washington ramped up military assets near Venezuelan borders, the threat of manufactured crises grows. For the American people, tired of endless foreign entanglements, these events raise a critical question: How long will our government entertain provocative gambits that risk national security and squander taxpayer dollars on foreign adventurism? Genuine peace and stability require respecting national sovereignty, not exploiting incidents to justify further interventionist policies.

President Maduro’s assertion that those behind the plot are located within the U.S. highlights a dangerous nexus of internal and external forces eager to destabilize Venezuela under the guise of promoting democracy. Yet, such interference contradicts core America First principles—prioritizing American security by respecting other nations’ sovereignty and avoiding needless wars abroad.

Ultimately, this episode serves as a stark warning: while globalist factions and Washington elites may seek to entangle the U.S. in foreign conflicts through manufactured crises, the American people and their representatives must demand accountability, transparency, and policies that protect our nation’s interests first.
