This morning, we woke up to the news that United States had invaded and forced regime change in... Venezuela? Who is Nicolas Maduro? Why was Donald Trump so threatened by him that he needed to use military force to arrest/depose him? Was any of this legal or necessary? What are the ripple effects? Where do Venezuela and the US go from here? We discuss all of this today on the first WNW of the new year! Enjoy!
