Episode 35: U.S. vs Venezuela, Nigeria, and the World: Is the U.S. in its Villain Era?

This week on Breaking ViewZ, we’re zooming out to ask a big question: is the U.S. fully in its villain era? From sweeping travel bans targeting over thirty countries, to U.S. airstrikes in Nigeria, escalating tensions with Iran, and a dramatic raid in Venezuela, we’re breaking down how recent foreign policy moves are reshaping America’s role on the global stage. We unpack what’s really driving these decisions, how much of this is new versus the same old U.S. playbook, and why it matters for Gen Z—from global instability and migration crises to what it means to carry an American passport right now.
