Description: Edward P. Joseph says U.S. strikes on drug boats may be meant to scare Maduro’s regime — but questions linger over Washington’s true motives.

Edward P. Joseph, Adjunct Lecturer at Johns Hopkins and Senior Fellow at the Foreign Policy Institute, says U.S. military actions against drug boats in the Caribbean and Pacific may be intended to intimidate Nicolás Maduro and his allies. He suggests the moves could be designed to trigger fear among Venezuela’s leadership — possibly even encourage a coup — though he notes the administration has not been transparent about its true objectives.
