YouTube Description
as posted by the channelLive Discussion: Trump’s Venezuela Attack — Hidden Motives, Lost Opportunities & Long-Term Risks | Matt Robison + Jonathan Larsen
Join Matt Robison (host of Worth Knowing) and Jonathan Larsen (creator and writer of The Fucking News) for a deep livestream discussion on the hidden reasons behind Donald Trump’s recent attack on Venezuela, based on Larsen’s reporting and analysis from his Substack.
We’ll break down:
• Why Trump ordered strikes in Venezuela — and what’s really driving the strategy
• Whether the U.S. has already “lost” Venezuela strategically, politically, and morally
• The long-term risks of U.S. military action and effective occupation, including regional instability, geopolitical blowback, and domestic consequences
• How this fits into the broader context of U.S. foreign policy, extractive alliances, and domestic politics
📌 Jonathan Larsen brings decades of hard-earned political media experience:
TFN creator and writer Jonathan Larsen co-created Up w/ Chris Hayes and wrote for Countdown with Keith Olbermann at MSNBC, helped launch CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360° and Air America Radio, and has also worked at The Daily Show with Jon Stewart and The Young Turks.
📌 Your host, Matt Robison, is the founder and host of Worth Knowing, a newsletter and analysis hub focused on politics, big ideas, and power flows. Matt writes for Newsweek and hosts the Beyond Politics podcast, bringing a clear-thinking, evidence-forward lens to the biggest stories shaping our world.
🗓️ What to expect in this livestream:
• A grounded, non-sensational exploration of U.S.–Venezuela dynamics
• A focus on data, strategy, and geopolitical context
• Honest disagreement, no shouting — and real insight
If you care about U.S. foreign policy, Latin America, national security, Trump governance, and geopolitical risk, this is an essential conversation.
