Make Venezuela Great Again
Episode 328
Published 1 month, 3 weeks ago
Description
When Nicolás Maduro, the deposed Venezuelan leader, appeared in a federal courtroom in lower Manhattan, he insisted ‘I am still president of my country.’
Maduro was labouring under a misapprehension, not just about his own country but about how things now work.
On Free State today, Joe and Dion look at the new age of empire as Donald Trump’s gangsterism spreads across the world.
America now has Venezuela’s oil but it also has exercised muscle and for a bully like Trump that is its own reward.
They explain why international law matters except when it doesn’t and they wonder what this means for the FIFA peace prize.
