US Move Against Maduro: A Risky Blow to Russia

A potential US operation to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro would create a major geopolitical dilemma for Russia, analysts suggest. Such an action would weaken key Ukrainian allies like the United States. These nations have built their position on upholding democracy and international law. Simultaneously, it would strike directly at Moscow. Venezuela is a key Russian partner. Losing that alliance would threaten a significant source of Russian oil revenue and global influence. The scenario presents a double-edged sword for the Kremlin: a rival's credibility damaged, but at a high cost to its own strategic interests.
