US invasion: Venezuela’s allies left Maduro exposed to adversaries – Bashir Ahmad

Former presidential aide, Bashir Ahmad, says the allies of Venezuela left its leadership isolated, exposed and alone in the hands of its adversaries.

In a post via his official X handle on Saturday, Ahmad said this is how the world actually works, stressing that alliances are performative while power stands unchallenged.
He was reacting to the arrest of Venezuela’s President, Nicolas Maduro and his wife by the United States’ forces on Saturday.

“Venezuela’s so-called allies ultimately left its leadership isolated, exposed and alone in the hands of its adversaries.

“What happened in Venezuela highlights one uncomfortable truth in global politics, this is why even leaders of other nations continue to fear, defer to or quietly submit to the United States.
“They have simply no real match; not China, not Iran, not Russia and not even all of them combined when it comes to decisive power projection.
“Even when they are vocally opposed, they rarely attempt, let alone succeed, in stopping the US from carrying out a mission it has resolved to undertake,” Ahmad wrote.
