Look, our history in Latin America has been one of arrogance, has been one of putting profits ahead of human rights.
And by the way, this administration doesn't give a damn about human rights.
They just issued their national security strategy.
And this is the first administration.
that has removed the word human rights from the strategy.
So this is about Donald Trump's ego, and it's about, I think, oil.
I think that's, at the end of the day, I think that's... Is that why we're seasoned tankers?
You know, again, it would be nice if we had a functioning Congress that would call...
his administration up and ask these questions like, why are we doing this?
Why now?
Again, this is not about drugs.
More drugs are coming from Mexico and China than from Venezuela.
So what is the strategy here?
And the president's threatening action on the ground in Venezuela.
That's war.
He's threatening to cut off air traffic.
He says we're going
to do the land.
Do you think that he would actually strike brown targets in Venezuela?
Well, if he does, that's an act of war.
