In this episode we sit down again with Dr Rodrigo Acuña – independent journalist, Latin America specialist with a PhD on Venezuelan foreign policy, and author of a recent Truthout article – for a sharp, unflinching return conversation amid the explosive US-Venezuela standoff in late December 2025. This is the independent analysis mainstream outlets won’t touch: a clear-eyed look at Trump’s oil tanker seizures and blockade, deadly military strikes, Maduro’s defiance, and why even Venezuelans critical of Maduro overwhelmingly reject foreign-backed regime change.
