At least 80 people have been killed in 21 separate US strikes on Venezuelan boats, the most recent of which came only this weekend. The White House says they’re trafficking drugs to the United States - but whatever the purpose of the strikes, it’s very clear that something big is happening.

The US has sent the world’s biggest aircraft carrier to the Caribbean Sea, where it joins a whole fleet of warships in the biggest military build-up for almost 40 years.

What many of Trump’s supporters can’t imagine is how attacking Venezuela can possibly be reconciled with ‘America First.’ And critics on both sides worry about the long precedent of US presidents using war as a distraction.

Piers Morgan discusses whether America is heading for war with former CIA operative Mike Baker, former US ambassador to Venezuela James Story, author, journalist and co-host of ‘Breaking Points’ Ryan Grim and Grayzone editor Max Blumenthal.
