Carlos Solá

Tom Sharpe, a former British Royal Navy officer with experience in Caribbean drug smuggling operations, joins Carlos Solá, a senior research fellow specializing in Latin American geopolitics. They dive into the significant military buildup around Venezuela, discussing whether the USS Gerald Ford's presence signals an impending invasion or is merely an overreaction. Solá outlines the complexities of U.S.-Venezuela relations and explores how regime change could be perceived regionally, while Sharpe critiques the effectiveness of anti-narcotics strategies and the risks of military escalation.
