The objectives are transparent. First, to gain control over Venezuela’s vast oil reserves – the largest in the world. Second, to topple a key ally of the non-Western geopolitical bloc aligned with China and Russia.

Very happy to debut in The Telegraph with this piece on Trump’s aggression against Venezuela! “Once all the layers of propaganda are stripped away, this attack boils down to just one thing: a completely unprovoked and blatantly illegal act of aggression against a country that posed no real threat to the United States. The objectives are transparent. First, to gain control over Venezuela’s vast oil reserves – the largest in the world. Second, to topple a key ally of the non-Western geopolitical bloc aligned with China and Russia. In short, this is yet another regime-change war, from a president that campaigned precisely on putting an end to the US’s ‘forever wars’.

The attack on Venezuela, however, suggests a different conclusion: that the US remains determined to slow or stall the transition to multipolarity, albeit not through head-on conflict with China or Russia, but by doubling down on a globalised proxy-war strategy that targets the weaker links of the rival system. Venezuela fits this logic perfectly. The operation marks the extension of a model already tested elsewhere, where escalation is displaced onto peripheral theatres: any vulnerable country that refuses alignment with the US and its allies becomes a potential target, especially those located in what Washington once again is claiming as its “God-given” sphere of influence: the Western Hemisphere. This amounts to a revival of the Monroe Doctrine in updated, openly militarised form. This points not to the end of great-power confrontation, but to a shift in how it is managed by the US: through permanent destabilisation and engineered chaos, where even the most elementary rules of international coexistence are discarded”.
