About this episode
Venezuela has been thrust into chaos following the recent election, leaving President Maduro, the opposition, and the military cornered. Years of escalating tensions with Guyana over the Essequibo region have reached a critical point, risking both the strength of the Venezuelan military and the possibility of a broader regional conflict. This episode examines the buildup to potential war, how the election has intensified these events, and whether the Venezuelan military can fulfil Maduro's promise of forcefully annexing Guyana? We ask our panel of experts.On the panel this week:- Kejal Vyas (Wall Street Journal)- Gisela Salim-Peyer (The Atlantic)- Evan Ellis (US Army War College)Intro - 00:00PART 1 - 06:08PART 2 - 30:44PART 3 - 45:37Outro - 1:14:47Follow the show on @TheRedLinePodFollow Michael on @MikeHilliardAusSupport The Red Line at: https://www.patreon.com/theredlinepodcastSubmit Questions and Join the Red Line Discord Server at: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/discordFor more info, please visit: https://www.theredlinepodcast.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
