In this episode of The Sarcastic Economist, we break down the Venezuela–U.S. shock event shaking geopolitics and oil markets: the U.S. claim that it captured Nicolás Maduro, and President Donald Trump’s statement that the United States will “run” Venezuela temporarily until a “safe, proper and judicious transition.”

This is not just a raid story—this is a legitimacy, governance, and incentive story. What happens when a state’s figurehead is removed but the machine remains: ministries, security forces, armed groups, elites, and competing claims to authority? What does “temporary governance” even mean in practice—staffing, chain of command, and control of oil revenue—when “temporary” has a historical habit of turning into “indefinite”?

We connect the dots with a finance lens:

Venezuela oil revenue, sanctions enforcement, tanker seizures, and regime cashflow pressure.

Political risk, sovereign legitimacy, institutional collapse, and the probability of fragmentation.

Spillover effects: Colombia and Brazil border pressure, refugee flows, and regional instability.

The “easy mission, brutal aftermath” pattern—and why nation-building costs tend to become long-duration liabilities.
