Joining us this week to talk about the Venezuelan crisis (both real and imagined) is Timothy Gill, political sociologist at University of North Carolina - Wilmington. We break down the crisis, assess the phony border standoff, discuss the realities of foreign aid and US imperialism, and offer some suggestions for how we might escape these impasses.
Is Maduro a dictator?
Should he allow in USAID?
What should be the socialist demands with respect to Venezuela?
Tune in and find out.
