Venezuela After Maduro: Regime Change or New Management? FORMER AMBASSADOR TO VENEZUELA, JAMES STORY

Maduro is gone, but is Venezuela actually free? Former U.S. Ambassador to Venezuela James Story joins Diplomatic Immunity to break down what really happened in Venezuela—and why the Trump administration's "historic" operation might have just swapped one dictator for another. In this episode, Ambassador Story reveals: • Why removing Maduro without a transition plan was a critical mistake • How the regime is consolidating power while releasing prisoners in small batches • Why oil companies aren't rushing back to Venezuela despite Trump's promises • The real cost of working with the same dictatorship that oppressed Venezuelans for years • What Marco Rubio's role means for Venezuela's future, and Cuba's • Why María Corina Machado and the democratic opposition have been sidelined Ambassador Story doesn't hold back: "They're going to give us just enough to keep us on the hook." With decades of diplomatic experience and firsthand knowledge of the Maduro regime, he explains why stability without democracy is a dangerous gamble - and why the clock is ticking on America's leverage.
