YouTube Description
as posted by the channelTrump’s Venezuela Invasion Exposed. Lies, Oil, and War.
Donald Trump promised no new wars. Then he moved the United States toward an invasion of Venezuela. Roland Martin and Rep. Jimmy Gomez expose the lies, the oil motive, and the dangerous imperial logic driving this escalation.
Donald Trump claimed his Venezuela actions were about drugs and security, but the justification kept changing. As Roland Martin and Rep. Jimmy Gomez explain, the facts point to regime change and oil interests, not public safety. Congress was cut out, War Powers were ignored, and the U.S. risked becoming weaker on the world stage. This segment calls it what it is: imperialism dressed up as policy.
• Trump promised no new wars, then escalated toward an invasion of Venezuela.
• The justification shifted from drugs to national security to regime change.
• Rep. Jimmy Gomez says Congress was deliberately excluded from the process.
• Roland Martin calls the move colonialism and imperialism.
• The real motive, according to the panel, centers on oil interests.
• “Donald Trump promised no new wars. That’s a lie.”
• “This is colonialism. This is imperialism.”
