In this episode of The Source, our founder and supporting editor Zain Raza speaks with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson (ret.), former Chief of Staff to U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, about U.S. aggression against Venezuela and what it reveals about the current trajectory of American power and foreign policy.

The conversation then turns to Ukraine, where a so-called “coalition of the willing” is discussing the deployment of multinational troops as security guarantees. Wilkerson assesses whether Russia would ever accept such an arrangement, how Germany and Europe are positioning themselves, and whether these initiatives are likely to move the conflict toward a settlement — or push it toward a wider confrontation.
