Mehdi Hasan and Prem Thakker talk Donald Trump's
Venezuela strikes, the US kidnapping Maduro, and more, on 'Ask the Editor.'
Donald Trump’s attack on Venezuela is brazenly illegal – but Democrats and the
mainstream media answered with stern letters and complacency, while
right-wingers like Lindsey Graham and podcaster Matt Walsh cheer ‘regime
change!’ and ‘might is right.’ “These things always backfire,” says Mehdi as he
and Prem take subscriber questions during 2026’s first episode of ‘Ask the
Editor,’ Zeteo’s weekly Q&A series. Watch the full video above to hear Prem
and Mehdi unpack the Trump administration’s latest bout of warmongering,
including:
- The
US’s track record of toppling governments: “Show me a US regime change
that’s gone well. Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan, Haiti, Honduras…”
- Republican
hypocrisy on the UN and international law: “I remember George Bush and
‘Mission Accomplished.’ I’m old enough to remember that.”
- Why
the 2028 Democratic nominee must run on accountability and “put the fear
of God into their Republican opponents.”
- What
this invasion may have to do with the Epstein Files
- …and
more.
