About this episode

The episode features an interview with Craig Jardula discussing the geopolitics of Latin America, focusing on Venezuela and Cuba, as well as the implications of economic sanctions and immigration.

We are joined by Craig Jardula, the Chief Latin American Correspondent for the Highway Diary Podcast. We talk about the Geopolitics behind the US invasion of Venezuela, the capturing of Nicholas Maduro on, "Drug Charges." How the various superpowers use Latin America to beta-test their worldviews. We talk about the personal sovereignty each country has to govern themselves. We talk about Cuba, and how Fidel Castro's revolution had altered that country, and the response of America and the rest of the world. We also talk about how the blow-back of economic sanctions is the driving engine behind 'illegal' immigration. In the second half of the podcast we talk about Pasta's recent trip to Minneapolis for RT. He wanted to investigate if the Ice protests were genuine or manufactured. www.erichollerbach.com You can connect with Craig Jardula on X or Instagram @YoPasta
