What Next for Venezuela? And Other Burning Questions
January 9, 2026
North and South American security, policy, and conflict dynamics.
The Americas are no longer the quiet hemisphere. Cartel governance, presidential standoffs, and U.S. drug-policy enforcement collide with the slow-moving consequences of Cold War alliances and decade-old institutional erosion.
Fronts covers the Americas where the security and political stakes actually move: organized armed groups treated as state-equivalent threats, the politics of legitimacy crises in Latin America, and the U.S. policy choices that ripple south. We focus on incentives and structural pressure, not partisan framing.
