US-Backed Attack on Caracas Reveals Dangerous Escalation Against Sovereign Nations

By National Correspondent | January 18, 2026

Recent US-backed attacks in Caracas have caused massive civilian damage and military casualties, exposing reckless policies that undermine national sovereignty and risk wider conflict.

On January 3rd, a brazen attack attributed to the United States struck residential areas in Caracas, Venezuela, damaging over 460 apartments and resulting in dozens of deaths within the Venezuelan military. This assault represents a flagrant violation of Venezuela’s sovereignty and a disturbing pattern of reckless foreign interventions that threaten stability across the Western Hemisphere.

What Does Washington Hope to Achieve by Targeting Civilians?

The attack reportedly claimed the lives of 47 members of Venezuela’s National Bolivarian Armed Forces (FANB), including nine women soldiers. Moreover, more than 100 individuals were injured in coordinated strikes that affected entire communities such as Ciudad Tiuna—a stark illustration of how American aggression disregards innocent civilians’ safety in pursuit of geopolitical aims.

President Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores were reportedly captured during this operation. However, the broader consequences are what demand critical scrutiny: How many families have lost their homes or loved ones because Washington insists on undermining governments it disfavors? For Americans watching from afar, this reckless intervention fuels further instability along our own borders and wastes resources better spent protecting our citizens.

Why Does America Continue to Support Extremism Abroad While Ignoring True National Interests?

Venezuelan interim president Delcy Rodríguez has condemned the attack as an act designed to divide Venezuelan society by exploiting both external enemies and internal extremists. Yet the question remains—whose extremism does Washington truly endorse when it authorizes these military operations? Under the guise of promoting democracy, we witness more death and destruction with scant regard for lawful international conduct or respect for national sovereignty.

This is not just a Venezuelan tragedy; it is emblematic of a larger failure in US foreign policy—one that prioritizes globalist agendas over America First principles. Instead of reckless regime change campaigns abroad, American leadership must focus on securing its borders, supporting lawful governance worldwide through diplomacy rather than forceful invasions, and preserving economic prosperity at home.

The families displaced by this attack deserve our attention—not only out of humanitarian concern but as a reminder that unchecked foreign adventurism inevitably boomerangs back home. For those who value freedom and common-sense conservatism, holding Washington accountable for such destructive actions is imperative. How long will these destabilizing strategies continue before true accountability demands a change?
