YouTube Description
as posted by the channelThe United States has taken the unprecedented step of seizing Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro in a U.S. military operation—an act critics are calling an illegal kidnapping and a violation of international law.
In this episode of NIGHT SCHOOL, Marc Lamont Hill is joined by journalist José Luis Granados Ceja of Dropsite News to unpack what really happened, why much of the world sees this as an act of imperial overreach, and what it means for Venezuelan sovereignty, U.S. foreign policy, and global norms.
The conversation explores allegations against Maduro, the collapse of international legal standards, U.S. hypocrisy on democracy and drug trafficking, and the dangerous precedent this operation sets—not just for Venezuela, but for the world.
