January 10, 2026 The Ghorman Lie - The Maduro Operation
Welcome aboard Kyber Squadron! Andrés kicks off the new season with a discussion on the military operation that upended the year from the very start of it. Maduro got kicked out of power, but it was in the worst way you could imagine, entrenching his allies and giving Trump a victory lap he doesn't deserve. He might be honest about wanting the oil, but real people's lives are in the balance.
