    The Case for Taking Down Maduro

    The capture of Nicolás Maduro shocked the world — and ignited fierce debate. Was it imperial overreach, or moral necessity?

    In this episode, we lay out the U.S. government’s full case for intervention in Venezuela. From economic collapse and mass starvation, to narco-terrorism indictments, failed authoritarian alliances, and the reassertion of the Monroe Doctrine, we examine why Washington claims this was not just justified — but unavoidable.

    We explore historical precedents like Rwanda, Kosovo, and Panama, challenge the “oil grab” narrative, and analyze how international law is applied when a regime collapses into criminality.

    This is a deep dive into power, responsibility, and what happens when sovereignty collides with humanitarian catastrophe.
