EIR Ibero-American Editor Dennis Small&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/KP7kdIlXJFg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">interviewed Fuller on Nov. 7,<\/a>&nbsp;noting the urgency of the issue, as the USS Gerald R. Ford aircraft carrier group is currently on its way across the Atlantic towards the Venezuelan coast, where it is expected to arrive Nov. 11\u201412.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fuller explained the reason for the VIPS warning: \u201cWhat\u2019s going on here? Why, in the middle of an appalling genocidal war in Gaza,\u201d is the Trump administration considering a new war? The VIPS statement is meant as \u201ca warning shot across the bow to suggest we\u2019re drifting into another of these classic scenarios of a war that seems relatively pointless, cannot possibly achieve anything, and ends up miring the U.S. in a true quagmire.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fuller emphasized that Russia, China and other nations of the Global South, such as the BRICS, no longer accept a world in which \u201cthe U.S. asserts its right to act with impunity.\u201d A new paradigm of global relations is being demanded, and is needed. He stated that the U.S. \u201cbutting heads\u201d with China and Russia is the wrong approach, and must give way to a change in the \u201cpotential nature of international relations\u2026 I want to emphasize, above all else, the question of human agency, which Helga Zepp-LaRouche has talked about\u2026 We\u2019re not simply billiard balls on a table.\u201d The U.S. has to change, Fuller concluded; above all \u201cit\u2019s a mind-set issue.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This interview was given to EIR News on November 7 2025.
