"TRUMP IS STARTING A WAR THAT WILL BACKFIRE - AGAINST AN ENEMY THE CIA HELPED CREATE"
The Grayzoneâs founder Max Blumenthal has spent years covering U.S. regime changes in Latin America, and has interviewed leaders including Maduro.
Not many know the regionâs history like he does.
Max explains how the âCartel of the Suns,â now sanctioned and used to justify strikes on Venezuela, was invented in the 1980s by U.S. intelligence.
The CIA and DEA used Venezuela as a cocaine corridor, letting drugs âwalkâ through the U.S. in a covert effort to map trafficking networks.
That operation, launched during the Reagan years, helped seed the narco-state narrative later used against Hugo ChĂĄvez, and now, against Maduro.
What began as a secret drug route became a political weapon: branding Venezuela as a cartel state to justify sanctions, asset seizures, and military buildup.
We get into:
â˘â â â How the âCartel of the Sunsâ narrative rebrands regime change as drug enforcement.
â˘â â Why U.S.-backed coups in 2002 and 2019 failed, and whatâs changed.
â˘â â â Why most Venezuelans, even those against Maduro, oppose U.S. sanctions.
â˘â â How CIA-linked drug routes are connected to todayâs covert operations.
â˘â â Why regime change could spark a civil war and mass migration.
â˘â â The role of Miamiâs anti-socialist bloc in shaping Washingtonâs Latin America policy.
â˘â â Why Trumpâs pressure campaign may end in a deal, not a war.
The U.S. is still using its '80s playbook.
believes the results will be inevitably disastrous.

15:40 - Military loyalty to ChĂĄvez and Maduro crushed coup attempts
22:45 â Threats of invasion trigger ârally around the flagâ effect
24:57 - Most Venezuelans - even opposition - reject sanctions
29:49 - U.S. allies like Ecuador are deeper in drug trade than Venezuela
35:54 - Full U.S. invasion would mean civil war and political blowback
36:15 - Over 70% of Americans oppose war with Venezuela
43:58 - Regime change would spike U.S. gas prices
57:36 - Foreign policy decisions bypass U.S. voters
58:37 â American public now leans toward diplomacy, not intervention
