11:05
Segment Topic:
- We discussed the crisis with Venezuela with you back on December 18th. Has your view on the crisis changed since Maduro was captured and arrested early Saturday morning?
- Anything changed in your mind since?
- Venezuela is back at the center of Washington’s power struggle—and this time, the stakes are unmistakable. As oil, sanctions, migration, and ideology collide, both parties are quietly conceding what they once denied: Venezuela is no longer a foreign-policy sideshow, but a pressure point capable of reshaping U.S. politics, hemispheric stability, and global energy markets. Behind the rhetoric of democracy and human rights lies a harder truth—America’s Venezuela policy is being rewritten in real time, driven less by principle than by fear of chaos, oil shocks, and the consequences of having no good options left.
- How has Venezuela shifted from a peripheral issue to a central fault line in U.S. politics?
- Why are both parties now rethinking positions they once publicly denied on Venezuela?
- What role do oil, sanctions relief, and energy markets really play in Washington’s Venezuela calculus?
- How has the collapse of Venezuela’s economy reshaped U.S. immigration and border politics?
- What risks does the U.S. face by easing pressure on Caracas without meaningful democratic reforms?
- How are regional actors in Latin America responding to Washington’s evolving Venezuela strategy?
- What does Venezuela reveal about the limits of sanctions as a long-term policy tool?
- What happens if U.S. policy miscalculates—either by disengaging too much or intervening too late?
- You are not a fan of the CIA, however; the agency was involved in this operation!
- In your opinion, is Venezuela stable today and if not, who is destabilizing it?
- Will China, Russian, Iranian and other foreign enemies work to destabilize VZ, such as occurred in Iraq?
Panelist:
The situation in Venezuela has reached a dramatic inflection point, and veteran central American journalist Bill Conroy rejoins our panel to break down what it means for U.S. strategy, regional stability, and the global geopolitical landscape.
Mr. Conroy has authored the upcoming book: The Great Pretense: A Tour Through the Boneyard of the CIA’s War for Drugs. His book is available for preorder today!

- The Administration is talking tough; warning other drug exporters in the region. Is this peace through strength?
- Jaclyn, you reposted on X:
