The construction of a bridge and road connecting Colombia and Panama is bypassing the "Darien Plug," a natural barrier that historically protected North America from tropical diseases. Michael Yon warns that this infrastructure will facilitate the spread of screw worms and hoof-and-mouth disease into the United States, threatening the domestic cattle industry. The project is described as an intentional dismantling of biological and sovereign borders.
