Implications of US Invasion of Venezuela |CDAI podcast

I enjoyed speaking with Josh Malm on his CDA Institute Expert Series Podcast about different aspects of the U.S. military action in Venezuela. You can listen to the whole episode here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLgzikI4iRg

For convenience to the listener, I have divided my responses into separate audio files below.

Question: What was the United States' strategic rationale for invading Venezuela, and was it legal?

Question: Should we expect to see more U.S. military action in the Americas, beyond Venezuela, or was this a largely performative operation?

Question: Does it help or harm the broader security environment, and what effect does it have on Russia and China?

Question: What impact does it have on China's influence in Latin America, and on the balance of power between the U.S. and China?

Question: What do you make of Mark Carney's statement after the invasion, and what impact might it have on the Canadian oil industry and Canada-U.S. relations?
