“Venezuela’s so-called allies ultimately left its leadership isolated, vulnerable, and defenseless against its adversaries.

“The events in Venezuela reveal an uncomfortable truth in international relations; this is why leaders from other nations often feel apprehensive, yield to, or quietly submit to the United States.

“They simply have no real counterpart; not China, not Iran, not Russia, and not even all of them combined when it comes to effective power projection.

“Even when they express vocal opposition, they seldom attempt, let alone succeed, in preventing the U.S. from executing a mission it has committed to undertake,” Ahmad wrote.
