In an interview with IRNA on Tuesday, Boris Rozhin, an expert at the Russian Center for Military and Political Journalism, said actions such as the abduction of Venezuela’s president signal Washington’s entry into a period of hegemonic decline.
He argued that the resilience of Venezuela’s government depends on the Chavista movement’s ability to preserve military-political cohesion, maintain popular support, and prevent a color revolution scenario aimed at destabilization and elite fragmentation.
Rozhin noted that even a potential departure of President Nicolas Maduro would not necessarily break continuity of power, pointing to the planned transition and the swearing-in of Delcy Rodriguez as evidence that a swift overthrow of Venezuela’s leftist leadership has failed.
He stressed that US pressure is not limited to Venezuela, but also targets China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba as part of a multilayered strategy to curb states opposing American dominance.
According to Rozhin, the struggle for Venezuela’s sovereignty is crucial not only for the country itself, but for the Global South and key BRICS nations, as it forms part of the emerging new world order.
Rozhin added that US threats are increasingly ineffective, as many countries are no longer intimidated by such tactics. He also criticized the United Nations as largely ineffective, saying its institutions lack real enforcement power.
The Russian expert concluded that these trends mark the decline of the old world order and traditional international law, with US actions further underscoring this shift.
