In this week’s episode of The Good Fight Club, Yascha Mounk, Amanda Ripley, and George Packer examine the Trump administration’s capture of Nicolás Maduro and the chaotic aftermath in Venezuela, whether Trump’s foreign policy represents a coherent “shock and awe” strategy or a dangerous overreach, and the political outlook for 2026.
Amanda Ripley is the co-founder of Good Conflict and author of High Conflict.
George Packer is a staff writer at The Atlantic and author of The Unwinding.
