Let's just jump right in.
What we have in front of us today, this stack of source material.
It reads less like a geopolitical briefing and more like the script for a really intense political thriller.
It really does.
We are talking about a pre-dawn military raid.
And not just any raid, the capture of a sitting foreign leader, Nicolas Maduro of Venezuela.
It's stunning.
And then, almost immediately, this radical new foreign policy gets announced by the former president.
Exactly.
So what we're really diving into here is the aftermath of Operation Absolute Resolve,
which is what the source is calling it.
It happened on January 3rd.
And look, the tactical side of it is well it's undeniably impressive.
For sure.
But the real story for us I think is what happened right after.
The sources give us this extraordinary look at the strategic pivot that was announced.
This so-called Don Rowe Doctrine.
And that's our mission today, right?
We're going to try and move past the big sensational headlines
and give you the real context, the connections and frankly, the contradictions.
