https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/3ef05a8d-6cbb-43ce-8e17-087ee97e70da On The Freedom Side LIVE, Thursday, 12/04 at 3pm ET/12pm PT, Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear are joined by special guests: Greg Stoker, U.S. military veteran and host of Colonial Outcasts, joins the show to discuss the growing scandal over deadly U.S. strikes on alleged “drug boats” in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific, including a September 2 attack that killed 11 and a follow-up strike on survivors that Trump’s own legal experts say could be a war crime. He will discuss “Secretary of War” Pete Hegseth’s attempt at blame-shifting to Admiral Mitch Bradley, and how these extrajudicial killings reflect the export of War on Terror tactics to Latin America as Trump intensifies threats against Venezuela. Obaidullah Baheer, PhD scholar at The New School and lecturer at the American University of Afghanistan, joins the show from Kabul to discuss the alleged involvement of a former member of the CIA-backed “Zero Units” in the shooting of two National Guardsmen outside the White House, tracing these units’ origins in the War on Terror and their brutal legacy across Afghanistan. He will discuss the lack of accountability for these forces, the violence they left behind, and how this moment reflects the wider blowback of U.S. imperial policy. Carlos Ron, Former Venezuelan Deputy Minister for North America, joins the show to discuss Trump’s escalating attacks on Venezuela. President Trump has vowed that U.S. strikes on Venezuela could begin “very soon,” demanded that the country’s airspace be sealed off, and abruptly cut off negotiations with Caracas. Together, these moves point to a widening U.S. campaign aimed at toppling the Venezuelan government—one that threatens to plunge the region into deeper crisis. Rania Khalek and Eugene Puryear discuss how Trump is letting corruption and white collar crime run rampant amid his “crime crackdown”, Israel’s escalation against Gaza, Syria, and Lebanon all at once, and more of the day’s top news. #breakthroughnews Wed, 22 Apr 2026 00:44:11 GMT https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/rss2.html PeerTube - https://tankie.tube https://tankie.tube/lazy-static/avatars/3ba3ff73-a8b6-49c9-add8-9653ef090c7f.webp https://tankie.tube/videos/watch/3ef05a8d-6cbb-43ce-8e17-087ee97e70da All rights reserved, unless otherwise specified in the terms specified at https://tankie.tube/about and potential licenses granted by each content's rightholder.
