Venezuela and American Manifest Destiny – Gerald Horne

1. Capitalism versus Communism is front and center on the world stage. Empower the United Nations and the International Criminal Court.

2. Columbia was carrying knowledge and communication as slaves were barred from reading

3. The United States are saving Venezuelans from dying at the hands of the criminal drug dealers they have for leaders. If Americans are obtaining some benefits for doing this, I still bless them for their help and support.

4. this cool Subscribe to my account Amazing Great video

5. Bolton didn't say "our hemisphere" when talked about Venezuela randomly, he did consciously, he's on the Monroe Doctrine, he's the product of Monroe Doctrine as all Trump government.

6. Dr. Horne, Sanders has recently refused to call Maduro a dictator, though he does push the narrative that his election may not be legitimate.

7. Sanders & Warren have long voting records favoring regime change. Sanders stood against the Iraq War only in the rear mirror. Warren has yet to post an anti-regime change vote.

8. Wonderful to see a Black Academic given the foreground for a change!

9. Put Pence and Bolden on the front line of any intervention

10. The administration demonizes welfare and then offers welfare foreign aid to Venezuela !!!! GO FIGURE There are plenty of homeless who would like aid right here in our back yard

11. I know very little about such matters, but I would beware of the US conjuring up an independent third party to attack Maduro from close up. Some say Hugo Chavez was a victim of such an attack.

12. you guys are a class act

13. As an American and a veteran, I feel great shame on what our nation is doing in the world. Crusade

14. Basically America investment in war instead of Latin America and Caribbean economies

15. Unfortunately Latin America is a addict to classical Oligarchy and more important any Economic Improvement is Dependent on Cult of Personality

16. What is this bad habit, of calling any government that the US State considers as a geopolitical enemy, as a regime?

    Saudi Arabia is never called a regime by the US, although Saudi Arabia fits the definition of a non-democratic “regime”, more than any other nation.

17. Settler Colonialism is a disease, that has destroyed many native peoples.

18. Why is Tulsi Gabbard not being mentioned as a vigorous opponent against the regime change

19. How's a Maduro govt ''a regime''? Stop repeatedly calling the democratically elected prez of another country : ''a brutal dictator of a regime'' – this is working to manufacture a consent, it's a propaganda that the Real News does not need to contribute to.

20. Paul, We have edited many Wikipedia pages, Wikipedia is a trojan horse that promotes fake news and censorship to support the the deep state narrative that TRN fights against. Wikipedia is a riddled with disinformation and misinformation about all topics, not just politics. Please donate to Wikispooks.com for a real wiki about real politics and real news.

21. U.s. invaded IRAQ . AND DESTROYED iT LEFT IT WORST THEN HOW IT WAS
    NEXT WAS AFGHANISTAN TOOK OVER OPIUM FIELD . NEXT WAS. ALGERIA. Killed. GHADAFFI . LEFT A MESS. IN ALGERIA . NOW IS VENEZUELA. BEING TARGETTED . THE PROBLEM IS. THIS IS NOT THE MIDDLE EAST . RUSSIAN AND CHINESE ARE HEAVELY INVESTED IN THERE

22. The most battle hardened troops in the hemisphere?" Soooo Cuban special forces are a force to be recorded with? Is that even factual?

23. I am very disappointed with Bernie Sanders on Venezuela. His tweets show him to be dangerously weak on foreign policy and not at all consistent with his pro-worker views. Perhaps Bernie is nothing more than controlled opposition. If that sounds harsh then maybe you are easily duped into hero worship.

24. Thank you Real News for inviting Dr. Horne to weigh in on the Venezuela crisis. His geopolitical analysis is insightful and provocative to the establishment.

25. You are correct that the million and a half people who attended the anti-Guaido/US intervention rally will rise up against any US military assault on Venezuela. There was an ICJ (Independent Civilian Journalist) in Venezuela interviewing people on the street and this is exactly what they were indicating.

26. love the beard, paul

27. USA presidents and his cronies are crying crocodile tears. They should lift sanctions and blockage and allow Venezuela have back their money and medicines and foods that they bought.

28. INEZ Qtaish will never settle nor compromise

29. Excellent video; Dr. Horne always gives us a comprehensive History lesson. This Administration consists of a bunch of not ready for prime time reckless blunderers. The puppet-masters directing these idiots have already let us know their intentions when Bannon said the objective is to destroy US government as we know it.

30. Excellent piece. Thank you. Professor Diane Shaver Clemens RIP (decades of Berkeley undergrads learned about Gast's "American Progress," Manifest Destiny, and US imperialism in her radical lectures =)

31. Gerald Horne is one of the very best intellectuals in the USA.

32. we gotta get rid of the corrupt american regimes that constantly try to overthrow other countries

33. Manifest Destiny…US invaded Puerto Rico in 1898 as part of the Spanish American War…and never left. Colony to this day.

34. I feel very uncomfortable with Mr Jay's mitigation of Sen Sanders' support for the Trojan Horse aid for Venezuela. No matter what pressure Sanders may be under, his promotion of the entry of that "aid" in inexcusable and unacceptable in a progressive. Sanders cannot be trusted. He caves. He is inconsistent. I think TRNN and Paul Jay must stop soft pedaling Bernie Sanders' betrayals. Bernie Sanders is not an American Jeremy Corbyn. He does not have Corbyn's integrity. He cannot shine Corbyn's shoes.

35. The lady in the picture is carrying a school book which should be free for Americans?

    #(ck) common knowledge

36. Who is the one who understood all this by their interpretation of the painting?

    Crazy it couldn't be stopped.

37. White people around the world do not think they are going to pay for their evil actions to black and brown people

38. As Enlightened American citizens, the non party affiliates, we should let it known that the American government does not represent us or our values. That THEY are not royalty, nor above us. They are public servants paid by our 40,50,60 hours a week paid checks. Is the establishment and their political toads.

39. 19:38 he's dreaming if he thinks US military wouldn't devastate any opposition
