The influence of The Other Superpower is growing rapidly in the Western Hemisphere. China, Russia, and Iran are actively deepening their ties with local regimes, partnering with countries like Venezuela and Cuba, while also making inroads with non-state actors, building a hostile network just beyond our borders that directly threatens American interests. Ryan Berg, Vandenberg Advisory Board member and director of the Americas Program and head of the Future of Venezuela Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Evan Ellis, Vandenberg Advisory Board member and research professor of Latin American Studies at the U.S. Army War College, join to illustrate how The Other Superpower is metastasizing in our hemisphere and steps we can take to thwart these treats.
