United States world police abducts Venezuelan dictator

from The Rational View podcast with Dr. Al Scott · host Al Scott

In keeping with its Donroe doctrine, the Republican Regime recently captured the president of Venezuela and ferreted him away in a New York prison to face charges on drug trafficking and weapons possession. Open flaunting of international law is now a thing as all of the guardrails are being tested in a full court attack on democratic institutions and international law and order. Welcome to 2026! I’ve taken some time off from producing content to catch up on some personal time, to do some reading and relaxing. Every time I start to write about some completely unprecedented issue, a new and more egregious one comes up. It is difficult to stay focussed, and that is the strategy ladies and gentlemen. This move is being justified in the right wing media echo chamber using many of the same arguments used by previous republican regimes to invade Iraq and topple Sadam Hussein. They tried to portray fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction, despite evidence that a negligible fraction of US fentanyl comes from Venezuela. They claim it is immoral to suffer a socialist dictator. Apparently only capitalist dictators are allowed in the Republican morality.  It is widely known that Maduro fixed the election, imprisons his political opponents, and takes bribes from shady actors to enrich his family. These are all things Trump seeks to emulate. Lets dig into the spin, and the geopolitics and get a Rational View to understand what is really going on.
