Trump’s Undeclared War: Covert Strikes, Civilian Deaths, and the Erosion of U.S. Law

Did anybody else hear Trump drop the F-Bomb live? The news stations did not know what to do… censor his free speech or blow it all to hell?

During a White House meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on October 17, 2025, Donald Trump used an expletive when warning Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro against a conflict with the U.S.

When asked by a reporter about Maduro and reports of a rejected peace plan, Trump stated, “He’s offered everything,” and then added, “Because he doesn’t want to f— around with the United States”

Yesterday, Trump declared that he’s “authorized the CIA to carry out covert lethal action” in Venezuela.

Wait—how exactly do you announce a covert operation? And if it’s made public, can it still be considered “covert”?

Beyond the absurdity of the statement itself, there are serious legal and constitutional questions here. Who approved it? Was Congress notified, as required by law? The whole thing raises far more troubling questions than answers.

This comes on top of other crimes against humanity committed under Trump’s leadership. Recently, he openly boasted about ordering the destruction of a submarine, claiming it was a “show of force.” According to emerging reports, two survivors were recovered and are now being held aboard a U.S. Navy vessel—despite the fact that the strike itself was unauthorized under international law and there is no evidence that the submarine or its crew had violated any U.S. or international statutes.

Even more disturbing are at least six previous U.S. military strikes on civilian boats in the Caribbean over the past several months. Eyewitnesses and family members describe these incidents as summary executions carried out under the pretext of “maritime security operations.” In one particularly heartbreaking account, a grieving mother broke down during an interview, saying her son—a local fisherman—was “executed by the U.S. Navy for doing his job.”

Taken together, these actions point to a pattern of reckless military aggression and disregard for human life, echoing broader concerns about executive overreach, lack of accountability, and the erosion of international law under Trump’s renewed presidency.

Conclusion: A War Without Declaration

The United States is not at war with Venezuela, nor has Congress authorized any military action against it. Yet Trump’s words and deeds increasingly resemble those of a president waging an undeclared and unconstitutional war. The supposed “covert” operations he brags about publicly, the destruction of foreign vessels without due process, and the mounting civilian casualties all point to an alarming pattern: the casual erosion of both domestic and international law under the guise of strength.

No evidence has been presented—none whatsoever—that Venezuela or its citizens pose any imminent threat to U.S. national security. These actions, therefore, cannot be justified under the Constitution, the War Powers Resolution, or the U.N. Charter. Instead, they reflect a dangerous concentration of power in one man’s hands, unchecked by oversight and unmoored from reason.

If America truly stands for freedom, justice, and the rule of law, then it must hold its leaders accountable to those same principles. Declaring war by executive impulse is not strength—it is tyranny in motion.
