Vijay Prashad, Executive Director of the Tricontinental Institute for Social Research, discusses the real motive behind the U.S. strikes on Venezuela and the kidnapping of President Maduro, explaining the attacks are about controlling Venezuela’s oil and undermining the Bolivarian Revolution. Prashad breaks down the “Trump Corollary” to the Monroe Doctrine and situates the attack in a long history of U.S. imperialism. He warns that Trump’s proclamation that the U.S. will “run Venezuela” would be a “worse fiasco than Iraq.” #breakthroughnews
