ATTN: Heads of State…Beware + A Conversation With Ally Sammarco
Summary
Today on Mea Culpa, I welcome back Ally Sammarco, political strategist, consultant, and content creator, for a breakdown of Trump’s unprecedented seizure of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and why it crosses a clear international red line. We examine how the administration is attempting to justify what legal experts warn could be considered an act of war, the dangers of normalizing hostage-style geopolitics, and the complete absence of congressional authorization. We explain how this move destabilizes global norms, invites potential retaliation by authoritarian regimes, and exposes an administration willing to abandon international law for spectacle and profit.
