Nicolás Maduro's Stand: Why Strategies Fail

First, let's talk about the strategies used against Nicolás Maduro's regime. They've tried to stop him with punitive economic sanctions, but that didn't work. Then, the Biden administration lightened some of those sanctions, hoping Maduro would behave better, but no luck there either. Last year's election? No effect. Why? Because Maduro has his own strategies. A 25 million dollar bounty for his arrest? Again, it's not changing anything. Instead, it might make him hang on tighter to power.

But hey, there's always a chance of a coup, right? Well, the army's top ranks have stuck by Maduro. Why? Because, as a 2015 Wall Street Journal article suggested, some senior officials could be involved in cocaine trafficking and money laundering. These officials might be protecting their own interests too. In 2019, there was a growing discontent among the people, a hint of revolt. But it faded fast. Why? Maybe the regime took a cue from Cuba and realized mass emigration could actually weaken a nation's most restless, energetic, and talented citizens. Talk about a tough strategy to crack. So, what's next?
