The rules of the Global Order collapsed.
What was built since the Second World War as rules of balance for the restoration of the Global Order collapsed.
Under the pretext of drug trafficking, the USA for a long time had targeted Venezuela’s oil reserves, which are the largest in the world, exceeding those of Saudi Arabia and Russia.
The USA, with a lightning operation by Delta Force that included the collapse of air defense systems, electronic warfare, conspiracy and betrayal, managed to arrest Maduro and his wife. They dragged them out of their bedrooms and transported them to Brookline to be tried for alleged crimes related to drugs and weapons.
What are the main conclusions
1) The Americans suddenly remembered that Venezuela has a dictatorship. Elections were held and the opposition lost. And recently they also remembered Nigeria, where Christians are persecuted. The pretexts are many, but the essence remains clear. The USA violated International Law in Venezuela and imposed regime change in an unprecedented manner. The blunt American intervention in Venezuela is unprecedented intervention by the strongest power that goes into a country, changes the leadership and governs the country.
2) Trump, the American President, is no longer entitled to the Nobel Peace Prize. He lost his external good reputation. Indeed, provocatively, Trump stated that the USA will administer Venezuela for as long as necessary so that it does not fall into the wrong hands, implying Russia or China.
3) Trump almost mocked Russia for conducting primitive wars, while he himself conducts modern wars, therefore what happened in Venezuela was an act of war against an independent state.
4) Russia is ultimately vindicated 100% for having fortified itself militarily during the era of Putin and for being the strongest nuclear power on the planet. Medvedev of the Security Council was right when he stated that what happened in Venezuela justifies Russia’s position to maintain an extremely powerful army.
5) The rules of the Global Order collapsed. The USA committed an act dishonorable for the global system. It differs from the Russian Special Operation for historical, religious and real reasons. Donbass had been a field of confrontation between Ukrainians and Russians for many years before the invasion. Tomorrow China will be entitled to take Taiwan and the day after tomorrow some other country something else.
6) Developments are extremely negative for the planet. Maduro did not attack any country, he governed Venezuela in the Latin American way of governance, Venezuela had not militarized, but it was not a puppet country of the USA.
7) Many will say the powerful divided the world. The USA will take Latin America, Russia Ukraine and NATO will stop its advance and China Taiwan. This entire approach is wrong. We are comparing unlike things. The rules of the Global Order collapsed.
8) Europe, the servile Europe, why did it fall silent regarding Venezuela? The Europe of supposed democratic values, why did it remain silent? Europe rages only about wars with Russia. It sees nothing else.
9) The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to the leader of the opposition of Venezuela, Maria Corina Matsado, coincides chronologically with the military operation to arrest the President of Venezuela, Maduro. “Subsequently, almost immediately afterward, the US President Trump began talking about the overthrow of Maduro. These are undoubtedly links in the same chain.” The US attack on Caracas was “Trump’s own war.” 2026 began with a new war, launched by the United States without their own territory being threatened. The aggression against Venezuela has already become the “fourth war” for the United States in the 21st century.
American invasion of Venezuela: Trump puts everything at risk for oil
The American invasion of Venezuela revealed the difficult, if not critical, position of Trump, who proceeded with this operation contrary to public opinion, 70% of Americans were against it, and contrary to standard procedure, Congress was in recess, which allowed him not to notify it.
Moreover, the abduction and transfer to the United States of the country’s legitimate President, Maduro, and his wife does not solve the American President’s problems, but rather gives him an advantage in achieving his main objectives.
These include installing a puppet government in Venezuela and acquiring American control over Venezuela’s oil.
If this can be achieved, and quickly, Trump will indeed be able to accomplish a huge achievement that will offset all costs.
Control of Venezuela’s oil will strengthen the American economy and give the White House significant influence over the global oil market.
The pro American puppets in Caracas, Venezuela, will be considered to be restoring stability in Latin America.
The United States will acquire a powerful geopolitical weapon against Venezuela’s closest partners, China, Iran, Cuba and Russia.
The problem for Trump is that this outcome is far from being predetermined.
It appears that the American military will withdraw quickly from Venezuela to prevent the deaths of American troops, they had only wounded.
The task of overthrowing the Maduro government will be assigned to other forces, for example private military companies and the opposition.
But whether this will succeed is a major question, as several senior government officials, including the Vice President and the Minister of Defense, have declared their readiness to resist.
Venezuela is at risk of sinking into chaos and civil war
Moreover, one cannot rule out the possibility that Venezuela will sink into chaos, with a civil war of all against all and drug cartels taking power.
The world has seen many such examples in recent decades, from Libya to Syria.
One suspects that such a development would create even more headaches in Washington than for the Chavistas, since this time it would unfold at their doorstep, not elsewhere in the world.
In short, Trump needs the fastest and cleanest possible victory, a victory that will allow him to repel all attacks, both domestic and international.
If things go wrong, the invasion of Venezuela will turn into a colossal failure of a dangerous adventure exploited by the opponents of the US President to bury Trump politically.
Trump violated the core principles of MAGA
Moreover, MAGA, it is Trump’s ideological movement, will contribute to this by helping the Democrats by betraying the movement’s core principle, the rejection of military intervention in the affairs of other countries.
As for the moral side of the issue, International Law and the fundamental rules of global politics, where attempts to assassinate a head of state are absolutely taboo, what can we say?
We live in an era where all these cease to have any meaning and the only thing that protects sovereignty is military power.
Today, Russia, and the entire world, received the message. Only the strength of a powerful army is a deterrent factor.
