The US–Venezuela relationship is heating up again - and this time, it’s not just talk. 🇻🇪🔥
From oil tankers being targeted to increased maritime enforcement in the Caribbean, Washington is quietly raising the stakes.
In this episode, we break down what’s actually happening behind the headlines and ask the real question:
Is the US gearing up for escalation - or merely flexing its muscles?
We analyze:
- The latest US actions against Venezuelan oil shipments
- Why Venezuela matters strategically to Washington
- The role of Russia and China in propping up Maduro
- Migration pressure and US domestic politics
- Military options short of full-scale intervention
- Whether escalation would work — or backfire
This isn’t about ideology.
It’s about power, strategy♟️, and a region once again at the center of global competition🌎.

Alexei Navalny: a lawyer who became the loudest anti-corruption voice in Russia, a dissident who refused exile, and a man who paid the ultimate price for speaking truth to power. 🇷🇺🔥
But behind the investigations and the viral videos lies one of modern politics’ starkest realities: in systems built on silence, a single voice can become a threat. 💔🎙️
In this episode of Martyrs of Speech, we explore Navalny’s rise, his poisoning with Novichok, his return to Russia knowing he’d be arrested, and the years of isolation that led to his death in an Arctic penal colony. From corruption exposure to state repression, from digital activism to authoritarian backlash: this is a case study in how speech becomes dangerous under authoritarian rule.

Italy’s foreign policy just got a reboot — and it’s loud. 🇮🇹🔥From postwar dependency to Meloni’s sovereignty-driven diplomacy, Rome’s trying to reclaim its spot on the global chessboard. But is it strategy… or just spin?In this episode, we break down we host pur friend and colleague Michele La Bella, an expert of Italian Foreign Policy. With him we discuss about:- Italy’s foreign policy evolution from the Cold War to today;- Meloni posture towards NATO, the EU, and migration politics;- Italy's development policies in the Mediterranean and Africa- Whether Italy’s actually building influence — or just talking about it.

John and Robert Kennedy - two brothers who defined a decade of hope, courage, and conviction. 🇺🇸🔥But behind the speeches and the smiles lies one of America’s darkest truths: both assassinated, five years apart, for the ideals they voiced. 💔🎙️In this episode of Martyrs of Speech, we dive into the Kennedys’ legacy - their impact on civil rights, freedom, and democracy - and how their assassinations reshaped the political culture of the U.S. From the Cold War to racial tensions, from words that inspired millions to bullets that ended two lives, this story is about how speech itself became a threat.

Charlie Kirk — a name that sparked debates, headlines, and endless controversy. But behind the takes and the clashes, his story ended in tragedy: assassinated for his words. 💔🎙️
In this episode of Martyrs of Speech, we dig into Kirk’s assassination, the political shockwaves it sent across the U.S., and what it means for the future of freedom of speech and democratic debate. From the polarized media landscape to the blurred line between political rhetoric and violence, we bring the IR lens to a story that’s about way more than one man.

Trump meets Putin. Then Zelenskyy. Then EU leaders. And just as the photo ops end… Russian drones crash into Poland. NATO jets scramble, Article 4 gets triggered, and suddenly IR theory feels way less like textbooks and way more like a live series finale. 🌍🔥
In this episode, we break down what these meetings really mean — for NATO, for the EU, and for the future of U.S. foreign policy. From the “security dilemma” playing out in real time to Trump’s tariff talk aimed at China and India, we look at how parallel diplomacy and official diplomacy collide.

Ciao! Sono Gaia Sabellico e in questo episodio de L'Angolo del Diplomatico ho al mio fianco l’Ambasciatore Alessandro Minuto-Rizzo, presidente e fondatore del NATO Defence College Foundation, nonchè una delle voci più autorevoli in materia di sicurezza internazionale e relazioni euro-atlantiche.
Insieme ripercorriamo i momenti chiave della sua carriera, dal suo contributo all’introduzione di una politica di sicurezza comune all’interno dell’UE come membro fondatore del COPS, al suo ruolo come Segretario Generale Delegato della NATO.
Curiosità: sapevi che è stato proprio lui a introdurre i tirocini della NATO?
Ripercorriamo momenti storici della sicurezza internazionale, dall’Afghanistan all’Iraq, vissuti da lui in prima persona, del ruolo dell'Italia nella NATO e dei consigli per le nuove generazioni interessate a intraprendere una carriera internazionale.
Non perderti questa conversazione piena di spunti e aneddoti interessanti! 🎙️
We going nuclear boys! Well not really, hopefully... With the recent escalation of a pseudo missile race - in true security dilemma fashion - the war in Ukraine is bringing tension at all-new heights. There are also some tensions within German politics (historically, that's a big no-no) and in the not so new Commission of the EU.
