The world is on the threshold of a new war, this time in South America, between Venezuela and Guyana. At the same time, Washington is unable to resolve an interpartisan discussion to approve urgent budget expenditures, which could lead to the United States losing its global influence.

About this Channel 24said diplomat and international affairs expert Ruslan Osipenko. He noted that the prospects for international security look extremely vague due to the intensified political struggle in the United States and the possible rise of Donald Trump to power.

The crisis between Guyana and Venezuela

Venezuela and its usurper president Nicolas Maduro quickly moved towards confrontation with neighboring Guyana. The dictatorial regime, friendly to Putin, held a referendum on the annexation of the Esequibo region, rich in oil deposits, and even managed to include it in its composition.

The international community does not support these territorial claims Venezuela, as, for example, Antony Blinken stated. However, it is possible that a country with a dictator at its head may ignore international law.

Unfortunately, no one will help Guyana. The United States has become involved in a life-or-death election struggle, the diplomat noted.

In his struggle for power, Donald Trump has put partisan interests trump American national interests. Therefore, he is maximally opposing the White House's plans to support the United States' allies in the world.

“The hegemony of the United States lies on their shoulders allies. And if you don’t support them, this hegemony will come to an end,” Osipenko is convinced.

To what extent does the political crisis in the USA threaten the world

The geopolitical situation in 2024 may change radically. Russia has already set a course for a long war, but elections will soon be held in the democratic camp. This applies not only to the presidential elections in the United States, but also to the elections to the European Parliament.

The foreign policies of key democratic players may change significantly due to this election. In particular, Donald Trump may completely abandon the support of American allies, proclaiming a course towards isolationism. “The rise of America,” Trump will have to negotiate with dictators so that they do not touch his country. And if America begins to negotiate rather than dominate, it will turn into a regional state dependent on the will of dictatorships,” the international relations expert warned.

What other events are happening in the world

• The incomprehensible political reshuffles introduced by Xi Jinping continue in China. The fate of the country's former Foreign Minister Qin Gang recently became known: Politico reported that he died in a military hospital. He was probably tortured or committed suicide before his death.
• But at the end of the year, Putin decided to make another foreign visit, this time to Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Among the topics of negotiations are oil and wars in Ukraine and Israel. There is no detailed information yet on the results of these negotiations.
• Also, recently the war in Israel has aggravated the danger of shipping in the Red Sea, where the Yemeni Houthis are resorting to threatening actions. They have already managed to capture a merchant ship and fire at an American destroyer with drones. Washington has not yet resorted to a decisive response, wanting to avoid escalation.
