The Venezuelan Situation Requires Taking Asymmetric Warfare Into Account
Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, points out that the Venezuelan president responds to Cuban dictates. If the U.S. were successful in pressuring Cuba to withdraw troops from Venezuela, the Maduro regime would collapse. If Cuba refuses, Senator Graham suggests mobilizing troops to the region. It is now important to start cutting the weapons supply from Russia, flights from Iran, and any aid coming from China. A naval and aerial blockade, would be a good start. The U.S. is doing the right thing by insisting on regime change in Venezuela; however, it must be done with thoughtful planning and careful analysis of Venezuela’s internal situation.
