First up the latest School of War Podcast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/school-of-war\/id1589160645\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Episode 243 with Joshua S. Trevino is the must-listen-to podcast of the day. Trevinio was a School of War guest almost a year ago in what I think is a top 5 show. Today, they discuss Venezuela and what they believe is the ultimate goal there. For me, I am that person on the right in politics who is lukewarm on Ukraine, anti-regime change, but am hyper-focused on the Americas. I have long championed an Americas First foreign policy. I am of the opinion that Mexico is the most important country in foreign policy. I can only imagine what it would look like if we invested the time and resources there, like we did in Afghanistan or Iraq. There is no question that the State-Cartel Syndicate that exists in Central and South America needs to be challenged and dismantled. This is such a great episode, I cannot recommend it more highly. (I embedded the Podcast like this so you could see Ep. 242 also. My foreign policy dream is Americas first, then China at all cost.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"\"><iframe style=\"width: 100%; max-width: 660px; overflow: hidden; border-radius: 10px;\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/how-the-army-wants-to-counter-drones\/id682478916?i=1000733865451\" height=\"175\" frameborder=\"0\" sandbox=\"allow-forms allow-popups allow-same-origin allow-scripts allow-storage-access-by-user-activation allow-top-navigation-by-user-activation\"><\/iframe>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\">Again, a super important episode that primarily covers counter-drone issues as they relate to acquisition. But there is a section near the middle where they talk about the Southern Border. The cross-border drone activity will blow your mind. I don&#8217;t know how this hasn&#8217;t risen to the highest of priorities in National Security. Definitely some cross-over material here.
