Capturing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro is less about Trump's (inconsistent) rhetoric and much more about long-term geopolitics. This is the revival of the Monroe Doctrine.
The US is pulling back from global commitments and turning its focus to the Western Hemisphere. Russia and China remain high on the watch list, but priorities are shifting closer to home, meaning Latin America is in the crosshairs.
Venezuela has all the bones to be a major global power, but corrupt leadership under Chávez and later Maduro led the country down a darker path. Everything that the Venezuelans had going for them slipped away: solid infrastructure, energy production, food security, education, and strong partnerships.
Intervention by the US marks a decisive point for Venezuela. We'll be examining what the future of the country looks like over the coming days.
