What is happening in Venezuela and how should it be assessed?
Since the bubble got so beautifully upset that I refused to get upset about Trump's actions and the arrest of Maduro, I'll allow myself a few thoughts on how this whole process should be assessed geopolitically.
Let's start with international law. From a purely international law perspective, as I've already written, the action is illegal. Military intervention in another state requires the approval of the UN Security Council, which, based on current information, is unlikely to be granted.
I could get artificially worked up about this, but I didn't in the case of Russia/Ukraine, simply because international law is a category we all like to believe in, but which has been applied highly selectively since 1945. The West, including the Europeans, has violated international law with the regularity of a broken record over the last few decades, without any consequences. This is because the international community has so far been unable to agree on a binding and enforceable international law. While this might earn us moral points (okay, for us Germans, that's the most important thing of all), nobody else gives a damn, especially since neither the rulers nor the ruled in this country have ever had a major problem with taking action against the actual or perceived successors of Hitler on the planet, regardless of whether they resided in Syria, Iraq, Libya, Serbia, or Iran.
Second point: Is Maduro the legitimate president of Venezuela? No, he is not. He abolished democracy, rigged elections in full view of the world, established a dictatorship from which 30% of the country's population fled, plunged the country with the world's largest oil reserves into poverty, and introduced "21st-century socialism" with the same characteristics of poverty, gulags, and persecution as that of the 20th century. Therefore, he also enjoys no immunity as head of state. Tough luck.
Third aspect: Are the US doing this because of the oil and other strategic raw materials in Venezuela, or would they have done it even if it had been some tiny village on a half-submerged Caribbean island? Yes, of course they're doing it because of the oil. That's called geopolitics and realpolitik. That's how major powers have been acting for 4,000 years. That's why they're major powers. They could stop doing it, but then they wouldn't be for much longer. Personally, I think it's ** , but I'm afraid my opinion on the matter has limited impact.
Fourth aspect: Looking at the overall developments of the last 12 months, it becomes clear what the Trump administration's "America First" foreign policy meant: the acceptance of a multipolar world order. But even in such an order, there are spheres of influence, and these are delineated behind the scenes through agreements. Trump wants the US, since it can no longer enforce unipolarity, to ensure that it plays at least the leading role in a future multipolar world, ahead of China if possible.
He probably reached an agreement with Putin and Xi months ago on the basic outlines of the spheres of influence, the details of which can only be speculated upon, but we can be certain about at least a few elements:
1. Russia and China have recognized South America as a US sphere of influence, even though China, in vague hopes of a more restrained Trump, courted and supported the socialist regime in Caracas. This is known as the Monroe Doctrine. From this perspective, Cuba might as well hold on tight, not to mention Lula in Brazil.
2. Trump has thrown Ukraine under the Russian bus because, according to this interpretation, it belongs to Russia's sphere of influence. He won't wait for the Europeans to counteract or even torpedo his deal with Putin and Xi. If necessary, he will even intervene covertly with the military on Russia's behalf to prevent this, for example, by providing intelligence, targeting data, or withdrawing US logistics, including for EU arms deliveries to Ukraine. He will also catch the rogue elements in the CIA who tried to sabotage him and, if they're lucky, imprison them for life on treason, since treason can also be punished by death in the US.
3. Trump knows that Russia has no interest in attacking Europe and is therefore abandoning the EU to its self-chosen foreign policy fate, while simultaneously orchestrating regime change in Paris, London, Berlin, and Brussels. Anyone familiar with the success rate of US regime change projects knows that the days of the EU oligarchy are numbered. Our Chancellor already looks so crestfallen because he knows what's coming. This is also the reason for the emerging cracks in the relationship with France.
4. The great unknown is Taiwan. Since UN Resolution 2758 of 1971, the People's Republic of China alone has represented the country in the international community. Since China has never ceded Taiwan to anyone or granted it independence, it is, from a legal perspective, undoubtedly part of China. One doesn't have to like it, but unfortunately, that's the way it is. The key question is: Is Taiwan part of the grand deal to spread the multipolar new global order, or not? We will find out, and probably soon.
5. Europe finally needs to get its act together, not through military arrogance, but by revitalizing its economy. This can only be achieved with a chainsaw, regardless of whether our elites like it or not. Either we pull it off, or, to paraphrase Josip Vissarionovich Dzhugashvili, we will be "crushed to bits." We don't have much time left.
What happens next in Venezuela? The US won't occupy the country; they don't need to. They've provided the initial spark for a democratic revolution, in which the socialists will either capitulate now or soon be adorning the trees in Caracas. Then the chainsaw will arrive there too, making the country with the world's largest oil reserves rich again. Because Trump doesn't just need South America as a sphere of influence; he needs an economically strong South America as an ally.
