Santiago Pedraglio, a columnist opposed to the Chavista government, admitted that the attack was “a violation of Venezuelan sovereignty, and that this represents a danger to Latin America and global peace.”

He also cites the editorial in “The New York Times,” which opposes the attack on Venezuelan sovereignty and its warning that “overthrowing even the most deplorable regime can make things worse.”

He also argues that the newspaper’s reference to the chaotic situation in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya, after suffering NATO invasions, is relevant. Meanwhile, neoliberal columnist Federico Salazar, who praises Maria Corina Machado, disapproves the Venezuelan right-wing extremist’s claims in favor of an invasion of her country and criticizes Argentine leader Milei for celebrating a foreign military intervention.

In an editorial, the conservative newspaper El Comercio acknowledges that “no one should feel too secure in a world where any large country can feel entitled to undertake a military operation of this kind against a smaller country, even if the target is someone like Maduro.”

Historian Carmen McEvoy pointed out that “a new kind of imperialism (MAGA) is taking hold in South America,” invoking the 300,000 annual drug-related deaths supposedly caused by Venezuela and the presence of the Tren de Aragua gang in countries of the region.

She suggests that Peru, a cocaine-producing country with a corrupt and inept government, could be next on the list of “narco-states to be civilized.”
