Brilliant analysis of how regime isolation compounds internal collapse. The Venezuela connection probably was more critical than most realize becasue it wasnt just about sanctions evasion but creating an entire parallel logistics system. I remember reading about IRGC operatives using Caracas as a hub for years, so losing that must be like cutting off an oxygen supply for their operations globally.
