Intelligence Analyst, Kervin Aucoin @thisweekexplained sits down with me and discusses the tensions between Venezuela and the US. Actions taken by the US are seen as a threat by Venezuelan president, Nicolás Maduro as Venezuela prepares to take military action against the US with 200,000 troops. The largest aircraft carrier in the world, the USS Gerald R. Ford, has recently entered the Caribbean, adding further tensions between Maduro and Trump.
Kervin and I then discuss information warfare and the lack of integrity and truth on social media.
We then discuss the global Gen Z uprising and the protests that have toppled 2 governments as it makes its way to the West. We discuss if we may see this movement make its way to the United States.
