Episode notes
Quick Win Over Strategic Challenge
- The U.S. naval presence near Venezuela is driven by political needs for a quick win and strategic repositioning.
- Krapivnik says Trump seeks an achievable conflict rather than confronting China or sustaining Ukraine efforts.

- Krapivnik warns holding captured infrastructure would require extended perimeter control against drones and armed civilians.
