Joe Varner | Venezuela and Iran

Описание: Tonight, Tuesday, January 20th, at 6 pm on The Brian Crombie Hour I interview ✅ Joe Varner. 👉 ALL my 🎤 podcasts and 🎦 video casts can be accessed any time on my web site https://briancrombie.com which holds repository of all my shows. 📌 Joe Varner, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and former Deputy Director of the Conference of Defence Associations, delivers a hard-edged assessment of two geopolitical flashpoints reshaping global power: Venezuela and Iran. Drawing on deep expertise in national security and hemispheric strategy, he explains why recent U.S. actions in Venezuela go beyond regime change, aiming instead to fragment authoritarian influence from Russia, China, Cuba, and Iran in the Western Hemisphere. The discussion turns to Iran, where Varner argues that targeting the economic power of the Revolutionary Guard may be more effective than full-scale military confrontation. He examines how oil, legitimacy, and foreign interference shape the Maduro regime, how economic pressure now functions as a national security weapon, and why Canada risks being sidelined unless it rethinks defence, sovereignty, and Arctic security.
