Carry On Podcast - SITREP - The Hidden War for Venezuela's Minerals and Pete Hegseth Signal Chat Debacle

In this SITREP, retired Marine Brad “Iceman” Colbert breaks down the escalating hidden war over Venezuela’s rare earth minerals—resources that sit at the center of global power, U.S. national security, and the rapidly intensifying competition with China. Brad examines why these minerals matter, how China gained dominance in the global supply chain, and why the U.S. military is paying close attention to Venezuela’s untapped mineral wealth.
From resource warfare to environmental impact, from foreign policy dilemmas to the future of U.S. strategic readiness, Brad exposes the real stakes behind the Venezuelan crisis—and how control of these minerals could reshape global power dynamics for decades to come.
The Iceman also weighs in on security clearances and the recent Pete Hegseth Signal chat debacle, breaking down what happened, why it matters, and what it reveals about trust, communication, and modern information security within the military and media.
No spin. No filters. Just straight, mission-focused analysis on war, geopolitics, leadership, national security, and the world as it is.
