From Mexico City, a geopolitical analysis outlines a scenario of confrontation between world powers and points to a turning point in Latin America

Monterrey, Nuevo León, Mexico – 27 de septiembre de 2025

In an international context marked by growing tensions among the world’s leading powers, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos presented a strategic analysis of the evolution of the global order, with particular focus on Latin America and especially on Venezuela as a possible epicenter of a broader conflict.

The assessment is framed within a broader interpretation: the international system is undergoing a process of structural reconfiguration, driven by the struggle between traditional powers and emerging centers of influence.

Clash of Powers: Russia and the United States

Speaking from the Mexican capital, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos outlined a scenario of confrontation among major powers, with the rivalry between Russia and the United States at its core. According to his interpretation, current conflicts are not isolated events, but rather manifestations of a broader logic of global competition unfolding across multiple regions.

In that context, he stated: “When one sees all of this, and all the Scriptures, and everything that is happening in the world being fulfilled; and sees everything taking place with the United States; sees the kingdom of the king of the north (Russia) as well; and wars here and wars there…,” drawing a direct connection between contemporary geopolitical developments and a broader assessment of the international landscape.

The reference to the “king of the north,” associated with Russia, introduces an interpretation linking current conflicts to a shifting global power structure in which tensions between blocs are shaping the course of events.

Venezuela as a Regional Turning Point

The most sensitive aspect of the analysis centered on Venezuela, which Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos described as entering a critical phase of internal confrontation and external pressure. According to his assessment, the escalation of the political crisis has moved beyond traditional channels of negotiation, opening the door to more extreme outcomes.

In this regard, he was unequivocal in stating: “That confrontation taking place in Venezuela, from what can be seen, is going to become an invasion; whether peacefully or by force,” a statement that positions the Caribbean nation as a potential trigger for international intervention.

The warning suggests that the resolution of Venezuela’s crisis may not unfold through conventional diplomatic channels, but rather through mechanisms of greater pressure, with direct implications for regional stability.

Geopolitics and Purpose: A Broader View of Power

Beyond strictly political analysis, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos introduced a structural interpretation regarding the functioning of global power. According to his perspective, government decisions and military actions are not driven solely by immediate interests, but are part of a broader framework that extends beyond what is visible.

In his words: “God allows all of this, because there is a spoken Word; and He will use the mechanisms of the world itself, of the kingdom of the gentiles itself, so that that Word may be fulfilled,” suggesting that international political structures act as instruments within a broader process.

This approach directly links geopolitical dynamics to a process of historical fulfillment, in which state actors function as vehicles for deeper transformations.

A Continent Under Pressure

The analysis presented in Mexico City makes clear that Latin America is not on the sidelines of global tensions, but rather an active participant in the strategic landscape. In this context, Venezuela emerges as a potential turning point that could redefine the regional balance.

The combination of internal conflict, international pressure, and competition among major powers positions the country as a key arena within the emerging global order.

Ultimately, Dr. José Benjamín Pérez Matos’s warning points not only to a single isolated event, but to a broader dynamic: the consolidation of a new world order in the making, in which Latin America —and Venezuela in particular— could play a decisive role in the future developments on the international stage.
