America’s Engineering of a………..

New World Order Outside of International Law

By SAM FRIMPONG

In a stunning spec­tacle of military operations that captured the world’s attention, the United States elite military and intelligence spe­cial forces captured the ousted President Nicolas Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores in less than forty-five minutes on January 3, 2026, and whisked them off to New York on very serious al­legations of criminal charges.

It sent geo-political shock waves across Moscow, Bejing and Teheran. With all the propaganda of helping Venezuela and standing on the side of Maduro and “having his back”, Moscow, Beijing, and Iran could do nothing.
The leaders of these countries will have to accept any shift in their oil fortunes and comply with the latest renewal of the Monroe Doc­trine.
As Trump contin­ues to flex his military prowess, threatening Greenland, Mexico, Cuba and more, there ought to be no doubt in anyone’s mind that the USA is marshalling its National Security Strategy in a globally coercive and enforce­ment-oriented man­ner that defies the rule of law, constitutional safeguards, and inter­national law. Domesti­cally, Trump’s current imbroglio in Chicago and Minneapolis are potentially frightening.

The Other Global Influencer

Approximately two weeks after that suc­cessful operation in Caracas, the world’s other powerful player, the Vatican, met with Venezuela’s Maria Co­rina Machado, the op­position political leader in Rome this week in a private meeting. Imme­diately after, Machado had an appointment on January 15th in Wash­ington with President Trump and members of the US Senate.
While the Vatican would be pleased with the decline of socialism in Venezuela, powerful nations like China and Russia that are inimical to the Vatican’s global religious and politi­cal aims will, sooner or later, be brought to their knees, since there exists an alliance be­tween the Vatican and the USA in their global aspirations.

The US New World Order

Author Juan Man­fredi pointed out that Trump’s new world order is taking shape in Venezuela. The at­tack on Venezuela and the capture of President Nicolás Maduro her­alded the decoupling of Trump’s United States from the rules-based international order; and the end of liberal order as a whole.
A new international order is now emerging, one based on the use of force, revisionism and security on the Ameri­can continent.
Manfredi indicated that there are many keys to understanding the outcomes of the military intervention, and the new order it ushers in.
First, the expanded presidential power. It must be pointed out that the Venezuelan at­tack cemented the new doctrine of “an imperi­ous president, one who executes orders without waiting for congressio­nal approval, legal vali­dation or media opin­ion.”
With checks and balances weakened, the second Trump ad­ministration is free to present the new order as a question of urgent security: with the US at war against drug traf­ficking (or migration) and threatened by “new powers” (a euphemism for China), it has no need to respect proper procedures or time­lines.
Second, there exists an erosion of the US political and legal sys­tem that is undeniable. Again, Manfredi states that “the president has approved an extensive package of regulations that promote emergen­cy powers, a permanent state of crisis, and sup­pression of political opposition and the ju­dicial system.”
Thus, the attack on Venezuela is yet an­other milestone in the reconfiguration of the presidency’s relations to the legislative and judicial branches of power.
Third, there is the control of resources. As one can appreciate, it’s all about oil, but for different reasons than in Iraq.
Manfredi goes on to elucidate that, “in a world where globaliza­tion has shifted to geo-economics, the United States wants to project its power in interna­tional energy markets and regulation.”
Notably, “Venezu­ela’s infrastructure, ports and minerals are key to making this hap­pen. The US therefore doesn’t just want Ven­ezuelan oil to supply its domestic market – it also wants to impose international prices and dominate supply.
Its new vision aims to align energy sover­eignty and technologi­cal development with trade and security.”
Furthermore, Pax Silica – the interna­tional US-led alliance signed at the end of 2025 to secure sup­ply chains for critical technologies such as semiconductors and AI – ushers in an era of transactional diploma­cy: computer chips in exchange for minerals.
For the “new” Ven­ezuela, its oil reserves will allow it to partici­pate in this new power dynamic.”
Venezuela is fore­shadowing the new world order that Trump wants to impose. Thus, it aims to deny China and other powers ac­cess to key strategic assets in the region, such as military instal­lations, ports, critical minerals and cyber communications net­works.
The new secu­rity strategy explains Trump’s obsession with Venezuela, in particular. Venezuela has the world’s largest proven oil reserves and a long coastline on the Caribbean Sea, which is a vital sea lane for US goods travelling through the Panama Canal.
As recognized, under years of US sanctions, Venezuela signed sev­eral energy and min­ing deals with China, Iran, and Russia. For Beijing, in particular, Venezuela is both an energy source and a foothold in the hemi­sphere.
The Trump adminis­tration’s National Se­curity Strategy makes clear this is unaccept­able to the United States. The attack on Venezuela is not just an intervention in the region: it also reflects the changing times in which we live.
A new order is being born, and both the Vati­can and the USA shall be the shapers and ar­biters of the destiny of the world.
One the dominant geopolitical and most fearsome and incom­parable and unrivalled military and economic power; and the other, the respected moral and geo-political religious power with thousands of years of global expe­rience.
No other nations can defeat this combina­tion.
