Revista de la Mañana. Venezuela en el ajedrez geopolítico: Alianzas con Rusia, China y Turquia, el impacto de la crisis en la región

Abstract

Analyst Ronald explains that Venezuela, far from being isolated, has consolidated a "diplomacy of Russia, China, and Turkey," strengthening relations with these countries. These alliances do not arise from ideological affinity, but from a logic of opportunity where these powers seek to take advantage of Venezuelan natural resources (oil and gold) and fill the geopolitical vacuum left by the United States in Latin America. Internally, there is a description of the systematic destruction of the economy and the oil industry, as well as corruption in social programs (CLAP) and the fragmentation of the military forces, whose high "exit costs" — due to their involvement in illicit businesses — make any democratic transition difficult. On the other hand, the humanitarian crisis and its direct impact on Colombia are discussed, warning that the resources from international cooperation are insufficient and that the migratory flow will not immediately reverse following a change in government.
