Venezuela Shock: US “Operation,” Maduro Removed, and the End of the Rules-Based Order?

In this episode of New Wave Global, we’re joined by Dr. Kamran Bokhari (Washington, DC–based geopolitical analyst and think-tank commentator) to unpack the dramatic Venezuela developments—what the US was trying to achieve, why it happened now, how “regime change” is being framed, and what it all means for international law, the UN system, and the so-called rules-based order. We also explore second-order effects: regional stability, oil, migration pressure, Cuba, and the strategic message to China in the Western Hemisphere.
