Interesting what happened in the USA at the beginning of January. Thousands of people mobilized in various American cities to protest against a possible U.S. military intervention in Venezuela. This is no small matter, considering the current political climate.

From what I saw, the protests were quite organized. The organizing groups made their message clear: "No to another endless war." They basically said that the American people do not want more conflicts, especially considering what a military intervention in Venezuela would bring—death and destruction for the civilian population.

The protests took place almost everywhere. Chicago, Manhattan in New York, in front of the White House in Washington D.C., and also at municipal and state capitols across the country. A rather widespread mobilization, in short. What stands out is how quickly people moved to voice their opinion on this possible military intervention, even before it became an official decision.

According to reports at the time, Venezuelan President Maduro was expected to travel to New York during those days. An interesting timing, considering the political tensions. It’s one of those moments where you see how American public opinion is still divided on foreign policy issues, and people are not afraid to take to the streets when they believe a military intervention is wrong.
