What's this? Bill Barr has always been a shifty character? Who could've imagined this to be so?

More stunts… to keep you talking abot stuff. As long as its not the free gift of salvation we have in Christ, they will allow it.

i'm venezuelan living in venezuela and it pains me deeply how no one will knowledge venezuela is not a sovereign state we are a kidnapped narco-state we don't have free elections, or liberty of expression, the regime amasses all the violence and gun power and we're basically held hostages by the state, we are intervene by the cubans, china, iranian and russians which provide intelligence and repression tactics to the regime in exchange of gifting our resources which are causing a collapse in ecosystems too, we struggle with the collapsed economy due to massive corruption while all members of the regime are rich, as a state we are becoming a world or hemisphere problem by all the aestern powers making moves here and all the drug cartels and gangs and we are massively leaving our country which causes tension in the region too, but well i guess that doesn't matter, the u.s. and the venezuelan people benefits from the fall of this disgusting regime and we are ready and welcoming for change, we support Maria Corina Machado, and that is the whole truth.

In fact I agree with the bloodless removal of a world leader instead of a war.
But I would prefer the UN do this sort of thing, instead of such kidnapping operations.
That is something terrorists do. It is unseemly at best, but fortunately this man caused a LOT
of suffering to his people. So for once someone approves of something Trump did.. indirectly.
But I do believe the president is not allowed to just do things like this without the senate and congress being consulted. Even the CIA has it's limits in such operations, under very specific orders.
Trump doesn't really obey the laws, or rules, or limitations.. he just does what he wants to be blunt.

Please please please make an '"I'd rather be picking berries and chillin" t-shirt!?

Shameless repeating of western propaganda in an otherwise solid analysis.

We could also look back to the Suez crisis, where the US were the ones blowing the whistle and calling foul on the UK and France for actions they would later take themselves in other theatres

No part of the last three quarters of a century of international politics has been anything but deeply hypocritical (imo Suez was already the beginnings of the breakdown of US-UK alliance. The UK is treated as a vassal post ww2. Didnt back Suez, didnt even back them for the Falklands where their de jure territory is invaded by a south American nation)

MASON NOOOOOOOOO

Did operation Just Cause literally inspire the video games? Because if it is, then that is wild and fucked up like crazy. Messed up event to gain inspiration from

The US intervenes in other countries all the time and always has but when trump does it its illegal to….ok

So good to see that sexy law lady Leeja Miller! ☝️

I think some of this stuff seems questionable.

One word: Petrodollar. This is how it all started. Venezuela was once one of the richest and nice places to live before they became a regime freaks. Maybe that's something to think about.

I'm a venezuelan and I've been following your videos for a while. Really love your work. Just wanted to thank you for being able to hold the nuance of what Trump did without treating Maduro and Cilia like helpless victims. Cilia has been in the government for more than a decade before marrying Maduro. She's not "just" Maduro's wife. And both have committed crimes against humanity in Venezuela, and are involved not only with oppression, repression, and fabricating a complex humanitarian crisis but also genocideS. Most of us didn't want any bombing or a US invasion. But that shouldn't be used to defend a genocider dictator. We also want the international law to be upheld, but not only when we get our dictator taken away, but every single time humanitarian aid trucks weren't allowed in, were burned up, or used to lure people in to kill them, like with the Kumarakapay massacre back in 2019. Not defending Maduro as if his life was worth more than the around 100 people killed in the US attack. Hoping this disgraceful turn of events at least helps people wake up and see that international law and human rights in the global south are only upheld when it interests some global north power. But when it doesn't align with their interests or as a justification to "save" or "civilize" (oh, white man's burden…), it just leads to international abandonment of the people suffering at the hands of their own government. From Palestine, to Sudan, to the DRC, to Iran, to Venezuela…may we all be free in our lifetimes.
