## Resource

Trudy Stern examines two seemingly distant crises—Venezuela and the war in Ukraine—and reveals how they are connected fronts in a broader global struggle against authoritarian regimes, terror networks, and criminal organizations. Joined by Rear Admiral Mark Montgomery, she breaks down Venezuela’s role as a narco-terror state tied to cartels and terrorist groups, the strategic pressure campaign against the Maduro regime, and how these threats intersect with Russia’s war in Ukraine and wider efforts to undermine democracy, U.S. security, and global stability.
