He argues that such operations do not equate to full-scale war or regime change but rather are criminal acts intended to destabilize countries rich in resources like oil and lithium. Nixon contextualizes this event within a long history of U.S. interventions in Latin America and elsewhere, citing past kidnappings such as that of Hugo Chávez and Haiti’s Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
