📍Venezuelan boat strikes have recently divided America. What actually gives the United States government the legal right to k!ll?

Today, Navy SEAL David Rutherford breaks down the hidden architecture of America’s k!ll authority — from the 2001 AUMF to Article II powers, War Powers loopholes, drone programs, special operations raids, and how both political parties have expanded these powers for over 20 years.

This episode explains what is legal, what isn’t, and why no president has ever been held accountable for violating the War Powers Resolution. But most of all, Rut asks us to all deeply consider the morality of it all.
