About this listen

Trump who had once proclaimed the U.S. was in Syria for the oil, now claims to have returned Venezuela's oil to its rightful owners, the American oil companies

Like George Bush before him in Iraq, Donald Trump proclaimed that with Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro in chains, the U.S. has secured Venezuela’s oil. In this special episode of Culture & Barbarism Dennis Broe and Jack Shalom talk about why the European (and Chinese) response to Trump’s actions is rejoicing on the one hand and staying in the shadows on the other; what AI has to do with this new grab for oil; Trump’s attempt to ‘kill hope’ after the inaugural of Mamdani; and how a show trial can become a political trial exposing the blatant viciousness and hypocrisy of the empire.
