NBC News is reporting that the U.S. military has drawn up plans to bomb targets inside Venezuela under the guise of fighting drug trafficking. Jimmy points out that even the New York Times admits, deep in its reporting, that the real U.S. goal is regime change to oust Nicolás Maduro and secure Venezuela’s massive oil reserves. Despite bipartisan efforts to support intervention, polls show a strong majority of Americans across party lines oppose military action against Venezuela.
Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger argue this is clearly an example of U.S. imperialism driven by oil interests, economic sanctions, and regime-change tactics disguised as counter-narcotics operations.
