Venezuela: What’s Coming

In this clip, we break down the 2025 category shift in the Caribbean: the Trump administration’s move to frame maritime interdiction as “narco-terrorism”, and why that legal reframing suddenly makes drone strikes, Hellfire missiles, and a massive naval posture sound “normal” — even when the public evidence is thin.

We talk about:

• Why “counter-narcotics” doesn’t match the scale of what’s offshore

• How “narco-terrorism” changes the rules (criminals → combatants)

• Why Puerto Rico is quietly becoming a staging hub again

• What this posture can support: blockade, raids, long-range strikes — not just boat stops
