Episode notes
Treat The Hemisphere As A Core Interest
- Do view hemispheric security as a primary U.S. interest and act to stop external influence.
- Use naval and law-enforcement tools to interdict state-linked smuggling and sanction evasion proactively.
Seizing Tankers As Strategic Pressure
- Chris Stigall frames the tanker seizure as strategic pressure on Maduro, Iran, and China rather than mere theatrics.
- He argues the action enforces sanctions, chokes cartel revenue, and asserts U.S. regional dominance without shots fired.
Attack Supply, Not Just Street Dealers
- Stigall says attacking cartel supply lines offshore is more effective than street-level policing.
- He claims disabling ships and tankers collapses cartel finances and pressures authoritarian regimes without invasion.
