The Trump administration is openly engaging in a blatant effort to overthrow the government of Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela. It’s a campaign aimed at regime change, and it’s being publicly promoted as an opportunity to steal Venezuelan oil for the benefit of U.S. corporations. They’re not even pretending. But this is not some insane Twitter thought spewed by Trump after guzzling down gallons of Fox and Friends. It’s open imperialism, and it’s not just being embraced by powerful Republicans, but Democrats as well. This push for regime change in Venezuela did not appear in a vacuum. The CIA has been plotting with so-called rebels in Venezuela from the early days of the Trump administration. As Donald Trump has cozied up to strongmen and dictators across the world — from Vladimir Putin to Mohammed bin Salman, Rodrigo Duterte, Kim Jong-un, el-Sisi of Egypt  — it seems that he’s found one so-called strongman that he can’t tolerate. And that leader happens to have the largest reserves of oil of any country in the world. Subscribe to our channel: https://interc.pt/subscribe Listen to the podcast: https://interc.pt/2FYvsfD

Imperialist pigs are at it again... notice Elliot was laughing which is an involuntary reflex of agreement... the Saudi's are actually dictators starving millions in Yemen but it's hard for Pence to voice outrage while having those Saudi cocks in his mouth.

Since at least 2010 the US has been pumping between $50- $60 million per year to the opposition to overthrow the Bolivarian revolution, using your tax payer dollars btw. So no matter your stance on this subject, you are paying for it.

Venezuela is socialist that's why it has to fail in the eyes of the government. You can't show a functioning socialist country to America or else the people might get ideas.

"Stealing" is such a harsh word. Perhaps "permanently borrowing with no intention of EVER paying it back, also, no backies" would be a better way to describe it :/
