**Threat from the South: Venezuela's Escalating Crisis and the Need for Strong Action**
As the global landscape shifts, Venezuela emerges as a pressing national security concern for the United States.
Republican congressional candidate Jay Furman recently underscored the potential chaos unfolding at America's doorstep during an episode of The Patriot Perspective.
Furman, a retired Navy officer with extensive experience, outlined how Nicolas Maduro's regime has deteriorated into not just a failing state, but an active threat that could directly impact American safety.
He characterized Venezuela as a "cartel narco-state," warning that the regime, emboldened by its partnerships with Iran and other adversaries, has evolved into a launchpad for hybrid warfare aimed at the United States.
The retired officer highlighted the vital role of President Donald Trump's decisive policies.
Furman pointed to Trump's strategic air closures over Venezuela and the U.S. naval presence in the Caribbean as critical measures sending a clear message to Maduro and Tehran: the United States is taking this threat seriously.
Reports have suggested that Venezuela has become intertwined with drug trafficking, with fentanyl and other narcotics being shipped across borders, posing a significant risk to American communities.
Furman connected this to broader issues of election integrity, asserting that Maduro’s tactics for undermining faith in electoral processes are being replicated domestically, which poses a danger to the very foundation of American democracy.
He suggested that the threat extends beyond drugs; it includes the establishment of terror networks such as Hezbollah within the region, using Venezuela's ungoverned spaces to orchestrate operations against the U.S.
Emphasizing the need for a robust congressional response, Furman called for preparedness to authorize necessary actions, highlighting the importance of having a post-Maduro plan in place to prevent any resurgence of chaos.
As he framed it, the situation in Venezuela represents an existential threat that cannot be ignored.
While the Biden administration has been criticized for its handling of foreign policy, Furman firmly believes that the approach taken under Trump—anchored in the principles of "peace through strength"—remains America's best hope for addressing the deepening crisis in Venezuela.
With Maduro still clinging to power, the question looms large: will America stand firm against this growing threat, or risk allowing a hostile regime to fester right on its southern borders?
The clarity of purpose displayed during the Trump administration contrasts sharply with the current government’s perceived indecisiveness, emphasizing the real stakes involved in Venezuela's ongoing crisis.
