In this interview, Sharmini Peries speaks with Venezuelanalysis journalist Ricardo Vaz about the largest U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean since the Cuban Missile Crisis. They discuss the deployment of the USS Gerald R. Ford, repeated U.S. air operations near Venezuela’s coast, the destruction of civilian boats by U.S. warships, and Venezuela’s diplomatic response at the UN Security Council. Vaz explains how the government, military, and population are reacting to Washington’s encirclement strategy, the role of opposition figure María Corina Machado, the positions of regional actors such as Colombia and Brazil, and the broader geopolitical context. He also examines the impact of U.S. sanctions, the recent CITGO court decision, and the new terrorism accusations levied by the United States.
