Taking the Highest High Ground: Strategic Prepositioning of Counter Space Weapons and Impacts to Critical Infrastructure

It is July of 2024, but Americans are looking up at the sky much the same way Americans did in 1957 after the announcement of the Sputnik launch. On May 16, 2024, a rocket bound for low Earth orbit (LEO) lifted off the Plesetsk Cosmodrome just outside Moscow. By May 21st, Pentagon officials were making

Drugonomics and Data: Analyzing a New Path Forward in Counternarcotics

With any supply chain, there is a cost. This is as true for the supermarket as it is for illicit drug cartels. The only difference here is the product and where the money is funneled. The cartels must spend money from the farmer that grows the coca or poppy or the chemist that mixes the fentanyl to the mule that carries it across the border. In between are a series of corrupt police officers, politicians, and other officials that create the environments that are ripe for exploitation for the benefit of the cartels. That means that the disruption of a farm or a processing facility has little near term economic cost for the cartel. They move the facility or they up production at an existing facility and they move on. It is far more expensive for the cartels to interdict a large drug load at the US border because they have had to pay along the entire supply chain for the movement of the load only to have it interdicted at the last step. The disruption of the supply chain at nodes closer to the US border is the costliest action US authorities can impose on the cartels.

A More Effective Approach to Supply Side Narcotics Strategy in the Time of Fentanyl

Historically, the role of Drug Cartel Kingpin has come with some…occupational hazards. Sure, a rival cartel might come after you and your family or you may have to put down some intra-cartel ambition for your job. But you would also find yourself at the very center of the supply side strategy of United States. The US and its allies have for over 30 years engaged in a decapitation strategy regarding cartels abroad. Instead, the US and its allies should make the role of Drug Cartel Kingpin the safest job in the cartel industry and should increase the occupational hazards of other roles. Those roles that are strategically important to the supply chain and whose disruption will cause Kingpins to turn into isolated and ineffective figureheads as their pet tiger-supporting income slowly dries up.
