Regime change escalation escalator

The Duran discusses Trump's recent statements on Truth Social regarding a potential blockade of Venezuela due to alleged theft of US oil and assets. They analyze the legality and implications of such a blockade, considering it an act of war and questioning the justification based on nationalized assets. The conversation explores the shifting narratives from drug interdiction to asset recovery, the potential for regime change in Venezuela, and the impact on Cuba, which relies on Venezuelan oil. They draw parallels to the US's historical stance against nationalization as a pretext for war and the escalating pressure tactics used against Saddam Hussein's Iraq, suggesting a potential path towards military intervention. The discussion also covers Julian Assange's legal action against the Nobel Peace Prize Foundation for awarding the prize to Maria Machado, who is allegedly advocating for war and regime change in Venezuela.
