## Resource

In a stunning display of American force, U.S. Special Forces remove Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in a rapid, high-precision operation that sends shockwaves across the globe. Trudy Stern is joined by leading international law expert Eugene Kontorovich to examine what the capture of Maduro means for Venezuela’s future, U.S. deterrence, and America’s adversaries—from China and Iran to Russia and Cuba. Together, they unpack the strategic message behind the operation, the legal authority underpinning it, the limits of regime change, and the dangerous precedents such actions may set in an increasingly unstable world.
