About this listen

 In this segment of America’s NewsHour, Bill Bernardoni continues his conversation with retired Brigadier General Ernie Audino, shifting focus from Eastern Europe to rising tensions in Venezuela and the Caribbean. Audino breaks down how proposed peace plans are interpreted by adversaries, why Vladimir Putin’s core demands haven’t changed, and how visible military pressure can suddenly force regimes like Maduro’s to the negotiating table. The discussion tackles the strategic logic behind limited strikes, the energy and geopolitical implications of a post-Maduro Venezuela, and the heated constitutional debate surrounding presidential war powers. From hybrid threats and narco-terrorism to the evolving character of warfare itself, this is a sober look at how modern conflicts blur the line between law enforcement, deterrence, and outright war.

Are targeted military strikes a necessary tool for deterrence today, or do they risk pulling the U.S. into conflicts it claims it wants to avoid?
