Red, White & Bruised: The Donroe Doctrine & WTF is Happening in Venezuela?!

****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
