⁢ ⁤ On January 4, 2026, ‌Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suriyasai Katasila,‍ Vice President⁣ for Administration at Rangsit ‌University,
⁤ ⁣ ⁤ published a Facebook ⁢post ‌critiquing the​ United ⁣States’⁢ proposal for ‍”peace” or a “new power order” in ⁢the wake⁤ of
⁢ ⁤ events surrounding Venezuela. The post
⁣ highlights international criticism of perceived US ⁤interventionism.
⁣

⁤‍ ‍ Katasila argues that the focus of any new ‌global order should be the‍ well-being and security of all nations and their
‍ ⁤ ‍ people, not the advancement of any single superpower. He questions the‌ nature‍ of the ‍proposed‌ “peace,” asking​ who
⁣ ‌ ⁣ benefits and ⁣where various nations stand within the evolving global power⁣ dynamic.
⁣

‍ ​ the ​post emphasizes ​that genuine peace ‍cannot be established at the expense of ⁣national dignity ‌or the⁣ lives of
innocent civilians.

Context​ of US-Venezuela Relations

⁤The criticism ‍from Katasila appears to ⁢stem ⁤from a history of complex and ofen ⁣contentious ⁢US-Venezuela relations.
Venezuela has been subject to US sanctions and diplomatic pressure, particularly under the administration of Nicolás
⁣‍ ⁣ Maduro, due to concerns over human rights, democratic governance, and alleged​ ties to​ illicit activities.The Council on‌ Foreign Relations
⁢ ⁤ provides a detailed‍ timeline of the political crisis in ‌Venezuela.

⁢ The United States has historically asserted its ‌influence in Latin America through various means, including economic
‌ aid,‌ military assistance, and, at times, direct intervention. This history has fueled skepticism⁤ and criticism
‌ from some quarters⁣ regarding US motives in the ‌region.

International⁤ criticism of US Foreign Policy

⁤ The United States has faced criticism from various nations and international organizations regarding its foreign
‍ policy decisions. Common criticisms include accusations of unilateralism, interventionism, and a ‍disregard for
​ ⁢⁣ ​ international law.
