Episode notes
Strikes On Land Signal Regime-Change Risk
- Trump signaled possible expansion from maritime strikes to land strikes targeting alleged drug operations in Venezuela.
- Dave DeCamp argues this likely signals a broader push toward regime change and potential war with Venezuela.
Maritime Strikes Lack Public Evidence
- The U.S. has struck at least eight boats claiming they carried drugs, often without public evidence.
- DeCamp highlights the policy's use of 'narco-terrorist' language to justify extrajudicial maritime killings.
Watch And Use Congress To Check Bombing
- Monitor congressional action and vote counts on war-authorizing measures related to Venezuela.
- Use legislative tools, like bills from Tim Kaine and Rand Paul, to block unauthorized military escalation.
