“This Is The Law Of The Jungle”, Says Ian Bremmer On US Raid And Raw Power Politics

A US raid in Caracas on January 3 that reportedly captured Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has sparked global outrage and renewed fears of regime-change tactics. Discussing the fallout, Ian Bremmer, President of the Eurasia Group, described the moment as proof of a “G-Zero world,” where the US is abandoning the global order it once built. Bremmer said America is increasingly embracing raw power over rules, acting as a military “apex predator.” While Maduro’s legitimacy is widely questioned, Bremmer noted that allies were not consulted and global opposition remains muted, underscoring how power — not principle- now shapes international responses.
