WATCH: Trump Wants To Turn Venezuela Into Libya! (Jimmy Dore)

Contrary to the story the American public was told, the U.S. intervention in Libya was driven by geopolitical and economic interests rather than humanitarian concerns, and Muammar Gaddafi was targeted because he sought to unite African nations economically and shift to a gold-based system that excluded the U.S. and Europe.

Jimmy and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger discuss how Libya’s collapse, including the destruction of its water infrastructure and rise of slave markets, resulted directly from NATO military action.

The video contrasts Gaddafi’s domestic social programs with the instability that followed his removal and criticizes U.S. foreign policy as consistently using humanitarian rhetoric to justify resource extraction and regime change. Jimmy connects these arguments to the Trump administration policy toward Venezuela, suggesting similar motivations are at play.
