YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this video, Don sits down with Tom Nichols of The Atlantic and retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Mark Hertling to break down the latest developments in the deadly Venezuelan boat strikes. After several conflicting statements, the White House is now admitting there was a second strike, but insists the operation was “lawful.”

Most national security and military-law experts disagree, calling instead for a full investigation into who gave the orders, what rules were followed or violated, and whether these actions may constitute war crimes.

Don, Tom, and General Hertling examine the shifting explanations, the legal implications, and what this moment reveals about leadership, accountability, and the dangerous breakdown of oversight inside Trump’s administration.
