The War Crimes Episode: Nigeria, Venezuela, and the Crimes of American Empire

We took a weeklong break from talking about the news, but it's time to get back into the doings of the United States government...namely, starting new wars.

Today we discuss Trump's Christmas strikes on Nigeria, the bombing of a Venezuelan port, and preparations being made inside Venezuela itself for siege and war. Also, we mention our favorite holiday movies.
