The invasion of Venezuela is primarily a pretext for US oil companies to seize control of the country's oil assets.

“We're going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country.”

Hasan Piker criticizes the US for taking actions in Venezuela for the purpose of stealing oil for corporate interests.

“Brother, we are currently in the process of stealing Venezuela's oil while simultaneously talking about taking Greenland.”

The Trump regime's military actions against Venezuela are illegal, offensive, and primarily motivated by a desire to control the nation's oil reserves.

“So, it's lie on top of lie. It's an absolute war crime. It's illegal under US law and international law.”

The seizure of Nicolás Maduro was motivated by a desire to secure access to Venezuelan oil rather than a genuine concern for drug trafficking or national security.

“It's not about the drugs. He doesn't care about the the Venezuelan people and their freedom. He does not care about the American people. It's not about any of that. It's about what's in it for Trump and what's in it for Trump is the oil and the promises that he made to the oil industry.”

The United States is targeting Venezuela to seize its oil reserves and prevent the nation from achieving independent sovereignty.

“Venezuela is a large exporter of oil. you know, now the United States is going to control those oil reserves and then they're going to go after Cuba next. This is just a way to prevent people from having independent sovereignty.”

He argues that the invasion of Venezuela is an illegal act of war that will lead to chaos and civilian casualties.

“So all we did was create a vacuum. And you know what fills vacuums usually in these situations? Chaos. Chaos fills them. And chaos is bad because people die, you know.”

He maintains that the US abduction of the Venezuelan president was a violation of international law and a mistake he would not have sanctioned.

“I did say one in violation of international law. Two, I would never have sanctioned that. I don't think Harris would have, Biden wouldn't. Uh there are Republican leaders that wouldn't because you're in a territory that once you go over into that territory. Regime change has not worked for the Unite”

The unilateral deposition of a foreign leader like Maduro is an unpredictable and destabilizing action that harms the global world order.

“deposing um Maduro as a leader was not good because the president was acting unilaterally with unclear motivation and the effects of that are the United States becomes less predictable. We destabilized the world order.”

She views the United States seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker as a reckless and dangerous act of international piracy that risks triggering a regime change war.

“And I know we're all used to the US doing whatever the hell we want to whoever the hell we want around the world, but I do want you to imagine that someone did this to us, seals seized one of our tankers, one of our flagships and you know in this brazen act. We would consider that an act of war”

He believes that the US seizing a Venezuelan oil tanker is an extraordinary and provocative escalation that is being dishonestly framed by elites as routine activity.

“This is the logical and that shows you shows you like the level of insanity of what this looks like. And that's what I want to hammer home for everyone is they're trying to claim is this is some routine. It is not routine. Again, the last time the United States boarded an oil tanker was 2014.”

Nicolas Maduro is a brutal dictator responsible for economic collapse and mass death in his country, justifying his removal from power.

“Maduro is responsible for mass death in his country. He's responsible for tens of thousands in all likelihood of extrajudicial executions according to the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights which typically is pretty friendly to terrible dictatorships all over the world.”

Mike Cernovich supports the targeted U.S. military strike on Nicolas Maduro as a means to remind the world of American power without committing to large-scale occupation.

“Whereas I've always been approach I've always been a fan of the Trump approach which is used Delta. We have these guys do targeted strikes remind the world that the USA is still a world power even though we might not feel that way and exercise our might for for a good purpose.”

The host believes Nicolas Maduro was an illegitimate leader who seized power without a democratic election and was supported by cartels.

“I'm not sure if y'all knew that, but do you know Maduro wasn't elected president? He actually took it. The people didn't want him. They tried to do it democratically. And since he has the cartels supporting him, he strong the presidency from them people and let the drug dealers and the cartels run t”

She views the arrest of Nicolás Maduro as a positive development that brings accountability for his long-term oppression of the Venezuelan people.

“When we see him uh in handcuffs and held to some sort of accountability, it brought me into to tears. It brought me great joy.”
