Moscow: A Russian political journalism expert says recent developments show that the United States, despite retaining military and political superiority, can no longer rely on unlimited global hegemony. In an interview with IRNA, Boris Rozhin, an expert at the Russian Center for Military and Political Journalism, stated that actions such as the abduction of Venezuela's president signal Washington's entry into a period of hegemonic decline. According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Rozhin argued that the resilience of Venezuela's government depends on the Chavista movement's ability to preserve military-political cohesion, maintain popular support, and prevent a color revolution scenario aimed at destabilization and elite fragmentation. He noted that even a potential departure of President Nicolas Maduro would not necessarily break continuity of power, pointing to the planned transition and the swearing-in of Delcy Rodriguez as evidence that a swift overthrow of Venezuela's leftist leadership has failed. Ro zhin stressed that US pressure is not limited to Venezuela, but also targets China, Russia, Iran, and Cuba as part of a multilayered strategy to curb states opposing American dominance. He emphasized that the struggle for Venezuela's sovereignty is crucial not only for the country itself, but for the Global South and key BRICS nations, as it forms part of the emerging new world order. Rozhin added that US threats are increasingly ineffective, as many countries are no longer intimidated by such tactics. He also criticized the United Nations as largely ineffective, saying its institutions lack real enforcement power. The Russian expert concluded that these trends mark the decline of the old world order and traditional international law, with US actions further underscoring this shift.
