On this Special Report, Dr Ian Bremmer, President of the Eurasia Group, analyzes the global implications of the capture of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro by US forces. Speaking to India Today, Dr Bremmer characterizes the event as a symptom of a 'G-Zero world', where the United States is 'walking away from its own previous global order' in favour of 'America first policies'. He asserts that the US is 'embracing the law of the jungle' where it acts as the 'military apex predator'. While acknowledging Maduro's lack of democratic legitimacy, Dr Bremmer warns that such unilateral actions, including the newly announced 'Don Roe doctrine', may cause 'a lot of damage to America's role in the world' long-term. He argues that while this is a 'short term tactical win for Trump', it undermines the multilateral institutions like the UN and NATO. The interview also covers how these developments impact the strategic postures of Russia and China concerning Ukraine and Taiwan.
