24:57Now PlayingIs the US pushing regime change in Venezuela to grab oil and flex power? Could this spark a wider war? On UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill speaks with historian Alan McPherson about the Trump administration’s aggressive campaign against Venezuela. Hill breaks down Trump’s hardline move on Venezuela and what it means for the world.
From military build-ups and seized oil tankers to open threats against President Nicolas Maduro, the US push looks less like diplomacy and more like raw imperial power. The talk gets heated around oil, privatization, and why Washington backs opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, even as blood is spilled on the ground. Is this about democracy, or is it about control, resources, and empire?
This conversation digs into the most controversial question of all: who really benefits if Venezuela falls?
This episode was broadcast on Dec 14, 2025, before the U.S. invasion of Venezuela and capture of Maduro.
