Episode notes
U.S. Actions Announce An Imperial Shift
- The Venezuela operation signals the U.S. openly adopting imperial behavior centered on self-interest rather than idealistic pretexts.
- Tucker Carlson argues this honesty changes global norms and weakens appeals to universal principles like sovereignty.
Honesty Undermines The Postwar Order
- Openly acting for national interest erodes moral grounds to criticize similar moves by rivals like Russia or China.
- Carlson says once motives are admitted, international institutions and legal pretexts lose authority.
Prepare For A Stronger Executive
- Expect executive power to concentrate further and Congress to atrophy as imperial prerogatives expand.
- Plan politically because presidential elections now matter far more for future unilateral action.
