WE’RE BACK. And we admit to being caught off guard by President Trump’s announcement of the capture of Venezuela’s strongman Nicolás Maduro and his wife Cilia Flores. We were also amazed and awed by the skill of the US military in his capture.

No one thinks Maduro was a good guy, but to understand both the nature of the threat he posed to free countries and the legality of American action against him, we are calling on Dr. Evan Ellis, of the US Army War College Strategic Studies Institute. Dr. Ellis has written for inFOCUS Quarterly, focusing on Latin American countries and their relationships with China and other non-Western Hemisphere actors, as well as transnational organized crime and populism in the region.

Please join us for what promises to be an exceptional program.
