On Friday, Venezuela’s ambassador to the United Nations, Samuel Moncada, alerted the UN Security Council that Venezuela strongly believes a US military attack is imminent. He characterized the situation as the latest aggression in decades-long attempts to oust first President Hugo Chávez and now President Nicolás Maduro.

“The plan is clear,” he said during an emergency meeting. “It is once again about executing the operation that already failed: overthrowing the legitimate and constitutional President of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro Moros, to install a puppet regime and turn our country into a colony.”

When questioned by the press, Moncada elaborated on the sense of urgency.
