Mr Westpoint professor has fallen for the bondi smokescreen that gives cover for the oil resources grab. and he thinks it has anything to do with what the trump regime should do HELLO trump gives less a shit about Venezuelan people than American people.

he has been paid for his role in this action and doesn't give a shit what happens next in Venezuela... lolol especially with a woman as a Democratic leader! get a grip

It's not "captured, it's "kidnapped".

WOW - what a show - learned a LOT - I am scared; this does not bode well for us here in the usa - THANK YOU!!

US coup, kidnapping, war on Venezuela. PROTEST, STRIKE, STAND TALL & FIGHT. Not in our name. We the People cannot allow this. ACTION NOW.

Please talk about how this effects Ukraine, because we know it does.

Actually Maduro bought a lot of light petroleum products from Russia to mix with his thick crude oil. Therefore he supplied Putin with cash to support the Ukraine War.

Yes, but this green-lights Putin kidnapping Zelenskyy, and I hear that he is bombing Ukraine heavily and the media is distracted, so there is discussion that it is coordinated distraction. The global order has been disrupted. I am scared for Ukraine right now, because it is going all out to rogue regimes.

It totally signals to Xi also that he can invade other countries. US will be going into other countries. I have been saying this for a while. I saw him threatening all presidents in the Americans who have not caved to him telling them he wants to control them.

And if the Venuzuela regime is essentially the same people minus Maduro, and if Trump is working toward normalizing trade with Russia, then we can expect even more Venuelan oil going to Russia in the future. Not good for Ukraine.

Putin has already tried to capture or kill Zelensky. In fact a number of times since February 2022, including the day of invasion and the battle for their Kiev Airbridge, the Hostomel Airport. Putin doesn’t need a green light to try to get Zelensky.

I know that, but this still plays into his hands.

The "professor" isn't willing to even hear legitimate questions. He is obnoxious. Please keep this bully (with limited knowledge) off your site.

Agreed. Double agreed.

Trump won’t deal with Machado because she is a woman. The professor seems to think Trump is somewhat rational and this action is warranted. I’m glad Lev spoke up about this.

The point everyone agreed on is that the US should support the legitimately elected opposition who got 80% of the vote, Trump threw them (Merchado) under the bus today, and that was a mistake for all involved.

Nick is great! Lev and Zev, you held yourselves so well and were very respectful with the professor. Waj is always amazing. Great show about a horrible wag the dog day in US history. Thank you so much for keeping us informed.

Wow, what a “spirited” debate! Lev and Waj, it will be interesting to see how things develop. The professor seems to think it’s legal for a country to go in and take the leader out.

Do you see that the Americas will all turn on the US with exceptions like Argentina, El Salvador, Panama, and Chile?

According to Jacob Kaarsbo, former Danish Intelligence analyst who was stationed in the US, Africa in included in China's sphere. Look at his map.

Zev, it’s time to take control! Thank God this is a remote talk.

Critical thinking is paramount to getting the truth.

Lucian Truscott is skeptical that they will get more oil out. He thinks there will be too much chaos at first.

And it takes a fair amount of time to get new rigs up and running. Europe and other allies would do well to help Ukraine win this war before that happens.

Catherine Beck's avatar

They will. Germany delivered 2 of their own Patriot missile defense systems to Ukraine this week. Lithuania delivered an entire electricity facility (good for 1 million homes) to Ukraine. The UK and France will send troops on the ground to defend a ceasefire line.

And I expect Carney will promise Canadian troops as well - since Canada invented Military Peace-keeping and has multiple decades of experience in tough situations around the world.

I agree with you 100% Margaret. In fact, the US and EU should have helped Ukraine win before Biden left office. Now Russia is weakened and Trump wants to strengthen Russia again. We need Ukraine to win now. Slava Ukraini! ✌🏽🇺🇦
