00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 2: all pan out. WBC S Kyle Bray spoke with an

31
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: expert about the future of Venezuela.

33
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 6: at UMass Boston who specializes in Latin American politics. He says,

34
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,000
Speaker 6: with so much uncertainty in the immediate aftermath, there's no

35
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 6: way to know what the future holds, but the most

36
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 6: important thing is that there is some form of stability,

37
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 6: so there is an anarchy in Venezuela or even a

38
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:14,360
Speaker 6: civil war.

39
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:16,960
Speaker 7: If you have anarchy like they've already had so much

40
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,240
Speaker 7: and so many problems economic and so on and so forth.

41
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,040
Speaker 7: But then if you also have anarchy where it's on

42
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,120
Speaker 7: top of everything else, more or less, you know, people

43
00:02:25,160 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 7: are still as bad as things are in Venezuela. People

44
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 7: are still you know, living their lives, and whether it's

45
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,600
Speaker 7: not Syria, it could easily become more like that.

46
00:02:33,800 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 6: But he adds that this action by the US could

47
00:02:35,919 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 6: have broader international implications. He says, it's unprecedented for the

48
00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 6: US to launch a boots on the ground offensive like

49
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 6: this in South America, and it could open the door

50
00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,040
Speaker 6: for other nations to do simpler things in other parts

51
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:47,640
Speaker 6: of the world.

52
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:50,640
Speaker 7: It's bringing back this nineteenth century politics where the mighty

53
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 7: can do whatever they want and good luck. That is

54
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 7: not good for anybody, even if you think you're the

55
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:57,680
Speaker 7: mighty one.

56
00:02:57,720 --> 00:03:00,600
