Breakthrough News journalist Eugene Puryear returns to Bad Faith to discuss Donald Trump's illegal strike on Venezuela and capture of President Nicolas Maduro & his wife. He addresses mainstream media and Democratic Party complicity in supporting Trump's strike, the historical efforts of the US to control Venezuela's oil supply, and the longterm goals of US imperialism. But first, Eugene weighs in on Zohran's inauguration, Zionist police commissioner Jessica Tisch's demotion in Mamdani's administration, and whether/how the left can support electoral progress within the Democraric party without losing revolutionary discipline.
