The Geopolitical Chessboard: The Strategic Weight Behind Declaring a President a 'Terrorist'
As the U.S. labels Venezuela's Maduro a terrorist, analysts question if this sets a dangerous new precedent for intervention in resource-rich nations.

"International relations are at a critical turning point, and recent developments in Venezuela are the clearest reflection of this shift.

The Washington administration recently designated the Venezuelan-based 'Cartel de los Soles' and, by extension, President Nicolás Maduro as a 'foreign terrorist organization' and a 'terrorist.'

This is not an ordinary diplomatic crisis. It is a strategic move because this label opens the door to much broader intervention under international law.

So, what is so critical that it warrants labeling a head of state a 'terrorist'?

The answer lies in two familiar words: Energy and Geopolitics.

Venezuela ranks first in the world in proven oil reserves. Yet the biggest beneficiaries of this vast resource are U.S. global rivals: China and Russia.

Interestingly, it is alleged that before the crisis escalated, Maduro's administration offered Washington 'priority for U.S. companies in oil and gold projects' through secret diplomatic channels. So, the moves on the chessboard are more complex than they appear.

Another critical piece is U.S. domestic politics. Specifically, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, of Cuban origin, is said to have played a key role in this hardening stance. Analysts suggest Rubio is using Venezuela to appeal to the powerful Latino voter base in Florida. Thus, foreign policy has become an instrument of domestic politics.

But is designating him a 'terrorist' not enough? Is military intervention imminent?

While Washington amasses a massive military force in the Caribbean, Trump simultaneously states he is 'ready to talk with Maduro.' This is a classic 'carrot and stick' approach. The aim appears to be not an unpredictable war, but rather toppling the regime through economic and diplomatic pressure.

However, the crucial question remains: Does labeling a head of state a 'terrorist' set a dangerous precedent?

Could the method used against Venezuela today become the 'standard procedure' against other resource-rich nations tomorrow?

What is happening in Venezuela is not just about one nation's fate. It is a laboratory where the new rules of international power in the 21st century are being written.

And unfortunately, we are witnessing that these rules are being built not on justice and law, but on interest and power."
