About this episode
In this episode, we break down the US military’s controversial second strike on a suspected drug trafficking vessel in the Caribbean under Operation Southern Spear, explaining what happened and why this marks such a sharp escalation in maritime drug interdiction. We also explore the legal, human rights, and geopolitical fallout of using lethal force against a disabled ship, and what this shift could mean for international law, regional stability, and future US military doctrine.
