Description

In this segment, Jimmy criticizes U.S. military actions in Venezuela, focusing on Senator Rand Paul’s opposition to President Donald Trump’s decision to bomb Venezuelan fishing boats under the pretext of anti-drug operations. Paul says that such strikes are unconstitutional, constitute extrajudicial killings, and bypass Congress’s authority to declare war. Jimmy praises Paul for exposing what he calls Trump’s “false flag” justification for intervention—claiming the real goal is to seize Venezuela’s vast oil and mineral resources. He contrasts Paul’s constitutional stance with what he views as bipartisan complicity in illegal regime change wars, listing numerous CIA-backed coups in Latin America since 1947. Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger conclude by saying that Trump, despite his anti-interventionist campaign promises, has continued the same imperial foreign policy as his predecessors, motivated by corporate and military-industrial interests.

“There is always money for war. You never hear political leaders say they can’t go to war because the country can’t afford it. They claim not to have money for the poor, homeless and hungry, but war? It’s never a problem.” - D. I.
