Description

Trump’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.” #Venezuela #Trump #IllegalInvasion #Imperialism #NoNewWars #WarPowers #RolandMartinUnfiltered #BlackStarNetwork We’ve launched our official Telegram channel.

DOESN'T THE MILITARY HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO NOT CARRY OUT ILLEGAL ORDERS? TRUMP MAY HAVE THE IMMUNITY BUT EVERYONE ELSE DOESN'T. YOU NEED TO START GOING AFTER ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE CARRYING OUT HIS ILLEGAL COMMANDS.

The idea that he said that “they expected this last year and know how he thinks”. If that is true they are accomplices too! Dems better stop sitting on defense when they should be getting ahead of Cheetolini on the bs! He’s literally telling us what he’s going to do! They are acting like they have no way to stop this I just can’t believe there are no levers they can pull to at least slow the idiot down!

Thanks so much for covering this! I am Canadian. Where is the outrage over this. I feel like I am screaming from the rooftops and people and governments are not listening and have a degree of acceptance regarding his actions. Do they not understand the fullness of his long-term intensions? WTH??

What are they going to say when Trump sends their children to war, is this why they call it the Gulf of America
