No Excuses, No Apologies: How the U.S. Turned 2026 into the Year of Open Plunder

At dawn on January 3, 2026, American fighter jets delivered their New Year’s “gift” to the world: the announcement of yet another war. Only hours after the initial strikes, the President of Venezuela appeared on national television. Confirming the attack, he made it clear that this bombardment was not merely an assault on his country, but a warning shot to the entire world. In 2026, the United States no longer even bothers to fabricate excuses for its foreign wars. Without fear of public opinion, without legal or moral cover, it launches attacks for one reason only: the plunder of another nation’s natural resources. What we are witnessing is not an isolated incident. It is the official return of the world to the age of empires. An era in which a powerful country, simply because it is more powerful, feels entitled to invade, loot, and exploit weaker nations.
