Both the American intervention in Venezuela and Israel’s determined military actions in the Middle East mark the transition from a policy of “strategic patience”—or better phrased, a “bla-bla policy”—to an era of proactive disruption. The arrest of Nicolas Maduro and his wife by American special forces, as well as the systematic elimination of leading terrorist figures by Israeli security forces over the last two years, mark the end of empty threats. We are witnessing the shift to a world politics of hard facts, in which the operational fusion between Washington and Jerusalem creates a new, unrelenting reality. The immunity of autocratic leaders and terror lords is finally lifted. The phase of empty warnings and lengthy diplomatic statements is over. What matters today is immediate execution.
