Hezbollah attempting to re-engage despite being significantly degraded. Houthi drones targeting global energy infrastructure. A Lebanese state that failed for decades to assert sovereignty over a terrorist militia that hijacked the country.

The U.S. Treats Maduro Like a Cartel Boss, Not a President The United States did not arrest Nicolás Maduro. It did something more radical. By indicting Venezuela’s sitting president as a narco-terrorist, Washington quietly redrew the line between sovereignty and criminality.
