In this episode of The Source, our founder and supporting editor Zain Raza speaks with Gregory Wilpert, sociologist and co-founder of Venezuelanalysis, about Venezuela’s political trajectory and the international forces shaping it. The discussion takes an in-depth look at Venezuela’s history before and after Hugo Chávez, and how both internal dynamics and external pressures have shaped the country’s social and political landscape.

The conversation also explores how Venezuela is portrayed in Western media, the framing and terminology commonly used in coverage of the conflict, and what is often left out of the public discussion. Wilpert examines the geopolitical stakes surrounding Venezuela’s oil, the roles of the United States, Russia, and China, and how recent developments could reshape regional stability and global power dynamics.
