Chris Cuomo breaks down the competing reactions to what just happened in Venezuela and why that “pick a side” framing misses the real issue. He lays out why the operation went forward, what it cost, why the aftermath is more complicated than “bad guy out, good guys in,” and the biggest unanswered questions about what the Trump administration is doing now and what comes next.
Then, Rick de la Torre (founder and CEO, Tower Strategy, and former CIA Caracas Station Chief) joins Chris to explain what the post-operation reality looks like on the ground, why stability often means dealing with whoever is actually inside the country, and how a reported CIA assessment fits into the decision to leave parts of the existing power structure in place—plus what that implies for the next phase in Venezuela.
