About this listen

 In this episode, we break down the controversial U.S. military operation that resulted in the capture and extradition of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife to the United States—a mission ordered by President Donald Trump that has shaken regional geopolitics. We’ll explore what led to the dramatic military strikes on Caracas, the legal and historical justifications offered by the U.S. government, and how Trump has invoked and reinvented the Monroe Doctrine to justify assertive actions in the Western Hemisphere. We’ll also examine the broader context of U.S. interventionism in Latin America, how this operation fits into a long history of regime-change efforts, and the mixed responses from Latin American governments and global leaders reacting to what many critics call a dangerous precedent in modern international relations.
