The Venezuelan Military Landscape

Venezuela has been thrust into chaos following the recent election, leaving President Maduro, the opposition, and the military cornered. Years of escalating tensions with Guyana over the Essequibo region have reached a critical point, risking both the strength of the Venezuelan military and the possibility of a broader regional conflict. This episode examines the buildup to potential war, how the election has intensified these events, and whether the Venezuelan military can fulfil Maduro's promise of forcefully annexing Guyana? We ask our panel of experts.

On the panel this week:

- Kejal Vyas (Wall Street Journal)

- Gisela Salim-Peyer (The Atlantic)

- Evan Ellis (US Army War College)
