Deep Dive: The US has 15,000 troops and a dozen warships stationed in the Caribbean, escalating tensions with Venezuela after weeks of controversial strikes - including a double-tap attack some experts say may constitute a war crime.

While Washington maintains it is targeting drug traffickers, analysts argue the motivations run far deeper, from oil and geopolitics to decades of tension with an authoritarian regime.

In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou unpacks it with the help of La Trobe University’s Professor Raul Sanchez-Urribarri and LiSTNR’s investigative journalist, Claudianna Blanco.
