Silent Power Shift: How Russia’s Move in Venezuela Exposed U.S. Limits | John Mearsheimer

A Russian naval presence appears where it was once unthinkable — and nothing happens.
No missiles.
No warnings.
No response.
In this episode, we break down why the most consequential shifts in global power rarely come with explosions or declarations. Instead, they arrive quietly — through presence, silence, and unenforced boundaries.
Using a realist framework, this analysis explains how power actually operates in geopolitics: not through rhetoric or moral claims, but through enforcement, credibility, and the expectation of consequences. When those expectations fade, borders do not need to be attacked. They are simply crossed.
This is not a story about imminent war.
It is a story about how deterrence collapses without a shot fired — and why silence can be more decisive than force.
