El Niño Speaks 192: The Israeli Angle on Venezuela

El Niño Speaks 192: The Israeli Angle on Venezuela

Author: Jose Alberto Nino January 27, 2026 Duration: 55:29

In this episode of El Niño Speaks, José Niño sits down with Padraig Martin to examine the Israeli role in Venezuela and why the latest upheavals around Caracas can’t be understood without asking who stands to gain from the aftermath.

Padraig, a former Marine and former U.S. government contractor with deep experience in international logistics and energy-adjacent supply chains, lays out how energy security, AI-era power demand, and financial plumbing factor into Venezuela’s strategic value.

They also discuss the Isaac Accords, regional pressure points like Colombia and Panama, and what a tighter Israel–Latin America alignment could mean for the future of the Western Hemisphere.
