Welcome back to Logic Dictate Hot Topics, the show where we cut through the noise, challenge assumptions, and examine the toughest issues with clarity and common sense. I’m your host, Steve Gibson, and today we’re diving into a heated controversy dominating headlines: the alleged “double strikes” on Venezuelan drug boats.
The Democrats claim these were illegal second attacks targeting survivors. But is that really what happened? Or are we oversimplifying a far more complex wartime scenario—one that involves rapid-sequence strikes, questionable surrender intentions, and a dangerous drug-running operation that refuses to be deterred?
In this episode, we unpack the facts, the legalities, the philosophy, and—most importantly—the reality behind these high-risk interdictions.
“Before we condemn the United States for a supposed ‘double strike,’ we need to ask a critical question: Were these survivors actually surrendering… or were they simply waiting to re-enter the drug trade the very moment they were returned home? Because surrender without intent is not surrender at all.”
