NYU history professor Greg Grandin discusses the history of the concept of national sovereignty as it originated in Latin America, but was repeatedly challenged by the US.

Venezuela should be regime changed and the dirty communists who defend Maduro should be rounded up.
The Trump administration is inept and criminal!
We're Leaders of the Free WORLD? That means we can pick our OWN LEADERS FOR COUNTRIES?
Ay yay yay!
Trump is a liar .. he said he will bring the troops home.. now he wants to kill them in venezuela
2020 trump must go
Serious and extremely confusing due to hidden agendas and biased reporting. WTHeck?
#HANDSOFFVENEZUELA! Moan like anything about Russian intervention in the USA but it's ok for the US to meddle in everyone else's country. #HANDSOFFVENEZUELA!
What will happen when the US installs their puppet government, and that government nationalize the Russia and Chinese state projects in the country what will the international consequences of those actions.
What is at stake in Venezuela? Trillion worth of OIL billions of Gold Gas n other minerals fertile lad for American companies to grow "cash crops" at the expense of the Venezuelan people Destroying a Real socialist country to "show" the world socialism does Not work, any country with a socialist government does not allow exploitation by multinational companies so its a lot at stake specially the Billions that would go to the military industry cash for the boys sadly Multinational companies control the land of the "free" not the people
US imposing US democracy, choosing the leader and government. It seems the sovereignty of a country is not important to Trump. Strange that there is so much talk in the US about out side interference in politics.
Miami is the "Cradle of Traitors" of Latin America.
He lei all the time way should we believe hem this time
The fact all the people were cheering when Trump brought up the idea of military intervention shows just how well right wing propaganda works. It's just disgusting that these people talk about socialism but don't actually understand what it is.
Sounds to me that might makes right. Another name for Manifest Destiny. Global corporates use debt to overthrow the countries governments as a cover for a power grab.
International law encourages nations to war war for conquest?
Well, this was planned after the Middle East wars; all part of coopting public lands and converting them to capitalistic enterprises like what was done to Greece under what was called austerity.
Grandin was extremely informative. Thanks TRN!
He’s like a wrestler talking trash… and the crowd reacts with woooos and haaaaas lol
The US monster wants their oil and gold.
Let not be politically correct Greg, Latin American states, along with Canada & the other 5 eyes prostitutes side with the USA in regime change in Venezuela because and this is SIMPLE! Those states, along with 5 eyes, are bought & for paid piglets for mother swine America.
Does Corruption ring a bell! DUH!
Please, show me ONE sovereign state as of 23.02.2019.
👺👺Jew😈💩
What about restoring democracy to the United States? An empire and a democracy and Republic are not the same things,
and are contradictory. US is ruled by a deep state cabal which controls banks, military, media, trans national capital, oil sector
and vast bureaucracy.
We believe the US can restore democracy if only the morons in the military would fulfil their oaths but they much prefer obeying orders, committing war crimes, and torture to duty.
They want to do the same thing in Venezuela that they did in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and on and on. They want to steal the resources, mainly oil. It's all about the Benjamin's baby.
