Venezuela didn’t fall apart by accident. It’s the result of years of socialism, corruption and a regime that couldn’t be removed by elections or international pressure. In this PMQs episode, Peter and Conor talk through what happened with Maduro, why Venezuelans themselves welcomed his removal and why the usual arguments about regime change and international law don’t hold up in the real world. They also look at the role of oil, US power, proxy conflicts and why strong states operate by different rules. The episode ends on the hardest question of all: after removing a dictator, what actually comes next?
