Why now? US buildup and broader context

On this episode of our Combat Liberalism series we are joined by Silvia, Dob, Geraldo, and Rafiq to discuss Venezuela, Iran, and ICE. We explore how the so-called united states imperialist aims across the world and the reaction of the “left” towards the most recent events in Iran and Venezuela. 2026 set the tone with the kidnapping of Venezuelan president Nicolás Maduro as well as with the recent attempts to destabilize the Islamic Republic of Iran.
