Summary

****Apologies, y'all.  This episode is several days late. Better late than never!

ANOTHER episode dropping tomorrow on the murder of Renee Nicole Good.

The Donroe Doctrine: America Invades Venezuela While you were nursing a New Year’s hangover, the U.S. launched its biggest military operation in Latin America since Panama. Nicolás Maduro has been snatched, Trump has promised America will “run the country” of Venezuela, and a new foreign policy flex has arrived: the Donroe Doctrine. In this episode of We Saw the Devil, Robin breaks down how we got here, what actually happened during Operation Absolute Resolve, and why this isn’t just “serving a warrant” on a dictator. It’s a constitutional crisis, an international-law nightmare, and a blueprint future presidents can point to when they want to do the same thing somewhere else. We cover:
  • The hour-by-hour raid that captured Maduro
  • The three clashing justifications: law enforcement, “Donroe Doctrine,” and oil
  • How Congress was lied to and cut out of the decision
  • Global condemnation from Latin America, Europe, and beyond
  • Cracks forming inside MAGA over yet another foreign war

So that happened while we were all recovering from our New Year's Eve's, you know, while we were trying to sleep or passed out or going to bed, the president of the United States launched an invasion. Not a strike, not an operation, an invasion. And then he went on live television and said that we're running the country now, I'll be it temporarily, but we're just, you know, going to run the country for a bit. This is wild. Hi, I'm Robin. And this is basically a show where I get lit and talk about current events, specifically what's going on in the U.S. primarily, especially politically. I'm a political nerd. I have always been a political nerd.
