The Venezuelanalysis Podcast Episode 07: Venezuela, Russia and the Geopolitical Shift

The latest Venezuelanalysis podcast episode focuses on the implications of the Russia-Ukraine conflict for Venezuela.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict has upended the previously existing geopolitical order. With mid-term elections looming and rising energy costs inside the US as a result of the conflict and the subsequent ban of Russian oil imports, the White House was left scrambling.

This global scenario led Washington to abandon its years-long strategy of pretending that Juan Guaidó was president and forced high-level members of Biden’s team to finally sit down with the real President of Venezuela, NicolĆ”s Maduro.

In this episode, we’re going to take a look at the fallout of the visit by a high-level White House delegation to Venezuela, spurred on by the Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as the implications of this political moment for Venezuela and the region.

We also feature Venezuelan journalist and professor Sergio RodrĆ­guez Gelfenstein, who speaks to us about the struggle against imperialism in a context of declining US hegemony, as well as the prospects for regional integration in Latin America in an era that some have called ā€œnew cold warā€.
