Episode Notes:

After taking office in August, Colombia’s new President Abelardo de la Espriella has launched an offensive against the various armed groups in the country. Those groups have retaliated with an increase in violence. Kerry talks with Henry Ziemer about the government's crackdown, how armed groups are responding, Venezuela's changed approach along the border, U.S. policy toward the region, and the role of drones.
