  • Only 21% of Americans support using U.S. forces to remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, while 47% oppose it, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll.
  • The Trump administration is deploying an aircraft carrier strike group and offering a $50M bounty for Maduro's capture, despite campaign promises to avoid "stupid wars."
  • U.S. officials justify intervention by targeting the "Cartel of the Suns," a disputed organization linked to past CIA operations, raising concerns about false pretexts for war.
  • While 58% of Republicans support extrajudicial strikes against suspected drug traffickers, 76% of Democrats oppose such actions, highlighting sharp divisions over foreign policy.
  • Historically, U.S. regime-change operations (Iraq, Libya) led to chaos, not liberation. Experts warn that invading Venezuela could accelerate globalist tyranny and destabilize the region.
As the second Trump administration continues its aggressive military buildup around Venezuela – including the deployment of an aircraft carrier strike group – a new Reuters/Ipsos poll reveals that only 21% of Americans support using U.S. forces to forcibly remove Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro. The poll, conducted from Oct. 23 to 29, surveyed 1,200 American adults nationwide. Its results come amid escalating rhetoric from U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has pushed for military action under the pretext of targeting the so-called "Cartel of the Suns." American officials claim that this non-existent organization justifies strikes against Venezuela’s government. According to the poll, 47% of respondents are against using U.S. forces to depose Maduro – more than twice the number of those in favor. Sixty-six percent of Democratic respondents surveyed also oppose ousting the Venezuelan leader. Moreover, the poll also found that 51% of Americans oppose extrajudicial killings of suspected drug traffickers, a policy the Trump administration has aggressively pursued in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific. Despite 58% Republican support for such strikes, roughly three-quarters of Democrats (76%) reject the practice, highlighting deep partisan divisions over the legality and morality of military action abroad.

Another regime-change disaster in the making?

Historically, U.S. interventions in Latin America have often been justified under the guise of combating drugs or terrorism, only to later be exposed as regime-change operations benefiting corporate and geopolitical interests. A report by "60 Minutes" back in 1993 revealed that one of the two Venezuelan generals originally linked to the Cartel of the Suns was working with the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). This revelation raises questions about whether current accusations against Maduro follow a similar pattern of pretextual warmongering. Despite Trump's 2024 campaign promise to avoid "stupid wars," his administration has dramatically increased military pressure on Venezuela – including covert CIA operations. Washington has also offered a $50 million bounty for Maduro's capture, hoping that his generals in Caracas will turn on him. Meanwhile, Venezuela has fortified its defenses. With only 35% of Americans supporting unilateral U.S. military action to curb drug trafficking – and even fewer backing regime change – the Trump administration's push toward war appears to lack both legal justification and public approval. As tensions escalate, the specter of another failed U.S. intervention looms – echoing past disasters in Iraq and Libya where regime change led not to liberation, but chaos. BrightU.AI's Enoch engine notes that Washington invading another country and deposing its leadership risks plunging the U.S. into endless, destabilizing conflicts that erode national sovereignty and transform America into a weapon of globalist tyranny, while betraying the very soldiers sent to fight unjust wars for corrupt elites. Such actions accelerate societal collapse, empower the New World Order and sacrifice American lives for lies rather than legitimate defense. For now, the American people seem unwilling to march blindly into another foreign quagmire. Whether their leaders will listen remains to be seen.
