## Resource

While every camera in the country points at Iran, the US is quietly waging war across the Western Hemisphere. And the Pentagon just told Congress it's "just the beginning." In this episode I walk through: — Operation Southern Spear: 46 boat strikes, 159 dead, no evidence, no trials. The UN calls them extrajudicial killings. A former ICC prosecutor calls them crimes against humanity. — Operation Total Extermination: joint US-Ecuador land strikes along the Colombia border, with a 500-pound bomb landing on a Colombian farm — Cuba: three nationwide blackouts in March, zero oil shipments in three months, a regime change operation targeting a dictator's grandson — Venezuela: a puppet state held together by the threat of criminal indictment — The Donroe Doctrine: how Trump flipped a 200-year-old defensive policy into a license for American empire — The 18-nation coalition nobody voted for and nobody can define — The full list of countries the US is currently bombing, blockading, or operating in — simultaneously, in a single year, without congressional authorization — Who benefits from the Latin America thread vs. the Middle East thread — and why they're different
