Oil, Influence, and Power: The Venezuela Showdown
from We The Future · host Bryce Wheeler
Venezuela is heating up and the global powers are circling. As tensions rise between the United States, Russia, and Venezuela, we break down what’s really driving the escalation: oil, influence, and selective justice.In this episode, we examine the double standards of global enforcement, why some drug lords are protected while others are prosecuted. We compare the treatment of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro with former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, and explore whether political motivations under Donald Trump and broader international alliances including ties to Benjamin Netanyahu, played a role in who was protected and who was prosecuted.We also discuss the controversy surrounding the Epstein files and the return of former FBI agent and media figure Dan Bongino, questioning who is allowed to ask hard questions and who gets shut down.This conversation cuts past the headlines and into the uncomfortable reality of how power actually works.
