Is America entering a new age of imperialism? On this Open Panel episode of Purple Political Breakdown, host Radell Lewis sits down with Danny and Elijah to unpack Trump's aggressive push to acquire Greenland, the sudden military intervention in Venezuela, and what this signals about American foreign policy in 2025.
The panel breaks down the real reasons behind the Greenland tariff threatsfrom rare earth minerals to billionaire interestsand questions why an administration that campaigned on "no new wars" is now threatening NATO allies and pursuing territorial expansion. With over 70% of Americans opposed to taking Greenland by force, is the Trump doctrine already backfiring?
Topics covered: Trump Greenland acquisition, Venezuela intervention, rare earth minerals, NATO relations, Denmark tariffs, executive overreach, stock market impacts, Russia-Ukraine implications, and whether America is abandoning its founding principles.
Purple Political Breakdown delivers nonpartisan political analysis that cuts through the noise. New episodes drop every Thursday at 8 AM EST.
