“During [Trump’s] first term, isolationism served as a narrative (chaotic, contradictory, but useful) to cover up unilateral decisions. That veil has fallen.”

Quoted — January 5, 2026
”What is emerging is not a democratic transition, but a return to a familiar historical model: a relationship similar to that of Juan Vicente Gómez's dictatorship, in which the United States tolerates, or even supports, an authoritarian regime in exchange for stability, geopolitical alignment, and privileged access to oil, including direct influence over the legal framework of the energy sector.”

“This fits with a gradual two-stage strategy: first, degrade maritime routes; then, strike land-based nodes and infrastructure under the narrative of narco-terrorism. The message to Nicolás Maduro is clear: there are no sanctuaries.”

Opinion piece — November 15, 2025
The U.S. is signaling military force toward Venezuela without a coherent strategy. Any intervention would be costly, unstable, and unlikely to produce political change. Airstrikes wouldn’t secure a transition and could trigger institutional collapse, regional crises, migration spikes, and greater Russian, Chinese, and Iranian influence. Hard power offers no viable long-term solution.
