9:14Now PlayingDonald Trump has escalated his foreign policy aggression from sanctions to a full-blown naval blockade of Venezuela. With the assembly of a massive armada, this move is being called "unquestionably an act of war" by international legal experts.
In this video, we break down what this blockade actually does: it doesn't hurt the powerful; it starves the people. We look at the reports from Newsweek and Common Dreams to separate the "freedom" rhetoric from the brutal reality of collective punishment.
Make no mistake, this is what authoritarianism looks like, starting conflicts in the global south for one man's ego, and to steal oil for the donors.
