From Vietnam 1964 to Venezuela Today: The Tactics of Hegemony 💡
The arrest of Nicolas Maduro is not a random anti-narcotics operation; it is a calculated geopolitical casus belli. We analyze how the US is utilizing the same "playbook" of provocations seen in the Gulf of Tonkin, aiming to control 300 billion barrels of oil and halt de-dollarization. Is this the moment American hegemony accelerates its own decline?
🏛️ Historical Parallels: From Vietnam to Caracas
The Tonkin Lesson: How a manufactured provocation led to a decade-long catastrophe in Vietnam, and how history is repeating itself today in Latin America.
The "Umbrella" of Suppression: Using the "War on Drugs" as a moral wrapper for the abduction of a sitting head of state.
Hegemony Under Challenge: Washington's spasmodic attempt to assert dominance in a multipolar world that is drifting away from its control.
🛢️ Oil, the Dollar, and BRICS
The Myth of Easy Control: Why US oil companies remain cautious despite Trump’s promises. The reality of collapsing infrastructure and the risk of civil war.
The De-dollarization Threat: Venezuela as a BRICS hub and the sale of oil in Yuan. How American intervention pushes China and Russia to accelerate alternative payment systems (CIPS, mBridge).
Global Realignment: Lula’s "unbreakable red line" and the unprecedented unity of Latin America against Washington’s interventionism.
⚖️ Conclusion: The Beginning of the End?
Just as Vietnam failed to deliver victory, the operation in Venezuela risks birthing an uncontrollable global crisis. Instead of restoring hegemony, the US may have achieved the opposite: a definitive rupture with the Global South and economic isolation through de-globalization.
