Episode notes
War Of Choice, Not Necessity
- The Trump administration is flirting with a war in Venezuela with no popular mandate or clear justification.
- Dave Smith warns this is a textbook war of choice driven by hawks and political maneuvering, not urgent national safety.
Influence Of Venezuela Hawks
- Marco Rubio and allied hawks have pushed Venezuela policy for years and now wield outsized influence.
- Dave argues regime-change logic ignores messy on-the-ground realities and risks unintended blowback.
Moral Narratives Mask Motives
- War hawks sell conflicts using moral narratives, but those pretexts often collapse under scrutiny.
- Dave notes the fentanyl/drug storyline for Venezuela is thin and serves as propaganda cover rather than a genuine casus belli.
