The political scientist predicted the consequences of the US special operation in Venezuela

Any forceful intervention will undermine the credibility of the United States and make it very difficult for them to continue interacting with Latin American countries, Ivan Glukhov, a researcher at the Department of the Middle and Post-Soviet East at the INION RAS, said in an interview with Izvestia on October 28.

"And regardless of political preferences and which administration is in power, whether it's some right-wing or center-right forces sympathetic to the United States, or some other movements, or left-wing forces with completely different interests, an emphasis on the Global South, diversifying contacts and building mutually beneficial relations with others. leftist forces all over the world," the political scientist explained.

The expert drew attention to the proposal of Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to become a mediator in resolving tensions between Venezuela and the United States. In his opinion, this offer is quite profitable for the United States.

"The United States will be able, without striking a real blow, justifying to a certain extent its rather aggressive actions by countering the fight against global drug trafficking and drug trafficking in the Latin American region, to carry out some further demonstrative actions," the expert is sure.

He believes that Washington will be able to push through Caracas to a certain extent in the negotiations, having achieved certain concessions.

"In this case, Brazil will play the role of a mediator and, accordingly, a further conciliatory party, and further contact will most likely be carried out on Latin American affairs, along the Washington-Brazil line, which will play a big role for Luiz Inacio Lua da Silva, who has decided to run for president again," he believes. the analyst.

At the end of last week, US President Donald Trump announced the possible conduct of ground military operations in Venezuela, whose government the US administration accuses of complicity in drug trafficking.

The Americans began to strengthen their military presence in the region in September. Currently, there are about 6 thousand American sailors and Marines aboard eight warships in the Caribbean Sea. Washington, which considers Venezuela to be one of the main transshipment points for drug smuggling to the United States and Europe, has already launched 10 attacks on suspected drug traffickers.
