II The "Wreck-It Policy" & Venezuela: The 2025 NSS Confirms It
The 2025 U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) confirms a shift: Washington no seeks to reform or negotiate with regimes like Maduro’s Venezuela. It neutralizes outlaw-aligned governments via operational encirclement and systemic pressure.
📄 Official Document
🔑 Key points
1️⃣ Trump Corollary to Monroe Doctrine
NSS, p.15: deny non-Hemispheric competitors access to strategic assets.
2️⃣ Target criminal structures, not nations
NSS, p.16: neutralize cartels, stop migration, reduce foreign influence (China/Russia/Iran/Cuba).
3️⃣ Burden-Shifting
Allies assume responsibility; U.S. provides capabilities. Lethal force authorized when needed (p.16).
4️⃣ Venezuela & “ghost ships”
Allies operational: Ecuador (troops), Argentina (diplomacy), Aruba/Curaçao (naval bases), Dominican Rep., Trinidad, Guyana.
Institutions: Colombia, Brazil cooperate despite politics.
Result: Venezuela encircled; naval interceptions reflect coordinated regional strategy.
5️⃣ Hemispheric security first
Western Hemisphere prioritized over Asia/Europe/Middle East (p.5,15).
6️⃣ Dialogue fails
Maduro cannot negotiate: criminal control, ICC liability, China/Russia/Cuba entanglements. Middle-ground approaches fail; maximum pressure until collapse is the only rational path.
📌 Grand strategy
> "Secure hemisphere + allied autonomy + operational encirclement = resource focus for China/Russia competition."
Official policy—and already executing.
