Having placed sanctions on Russia and, more precisely, Russian oil, the Biden administration has gone looking for alternative sources and settled on… Venezuela. To that end a delegation of US officials traveled to the South American country to negotiate with Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro – the man frequently decried by Democrats and Republicans alike as a brutal dictator – and not Juan Guaido, the pretender widely recognized as president by many western nations.
Jimmy and American comedian Kurt Metzger discuss the administration’s willingness to overlook Maduro’s shortcomings in search of sweet crude and transparent snub of the previously anointed Guaido.
