Trump has been hinting for several weeks at carrying out attacks in Venezuela. In October, he acknowledged that he had given the foreign intelligence agency, the CIA, secret orders to plan attacks in the country.
And for months, the United States has been attacking boats it claims are linked to drug trafficking from Venezuela, but it has not provided evidence that these “narcoterrorists” actually pose a direct threat to the U.S. The government argues that this threat justifies military force. However, many critics and legal experts point out that there is no proof of a direct threat to the US, thus no formal armed conflict, meaning these operations amount to illegally killings in international waters. At least 105 people have already been killed.
In fact, relatively few drugs come from Venezuela into the U.S. The synthetic opioid fentanyl causes the most fatalities in the US, but is mainly produced by Mexican cartels from Chinese raw materials, NOT Venezuelan cartels. The US seems to want to see leftist authoritarian leader Nicolás Maduro leave. Wth? So Trump is just like Putin attacking Ukraine?
Yes, Trump is exactly like Putin attacking Ukrain
Putins wants Ukraine for resources and to have Zelensky out and is bombing them, America wants to bully Maduro out AND for the largest oil reservoir in the world in Venezuela so they also bomb them… Ok?
The only reason trump hasn’t attacked Canada is because we are demographically uncooperative with standard US bombing campaigns…
Alcohol and tobacco are by far the worst of any drugs ever created.
Uh there’s Krokodil (actually it turns out most of what you read is the production not the literal chemical desomorphine causing most of the issues you hear about)
Also “relatively few drugs come from Venezuela into the U.S. The synthetic opioid fentanyl causes the most fatalities in the US, but is mainly produced by Mexican cartels from Chinese raw materials.”
No.
In terms of mortality it’s not even close. Alcohol alone kills nearly twice as many people as all other drugs combined.
Tobacco, 5x as many.
Trump is like Bush Jr attacking Iraq over some nonexistent “WMDs.”
Imo Maduro should cut a security deal with china and fuck up trump’s whole game. I’m tired of this forever war bullshit over oil.
Here is a source from a media company that isn’t the mouthpiece for DJT. That source has on the ground video footage in Venezuela. Fuck Trump, and fuck his entire administration.
A dock? Such a rapey “just the tip,” approach. “Hey Venezuela, if you don’t fight back, it’ll hurt less.”
I start a war, I ended that war. Where is my noble peace prize?! 🫲🍊🫱
You get: mass strikes until the dissolution of the whole government. 🥳
Rape some children then start a war to distract.
About as obvious as it gets.
I hope he seriously overextends the military, and needs a draft. We will get to see how big and tough the MAGAs really are.
I think it’d be a while before they did a draft. Money would be pumped into Palantir/Oracle/Lockheed/Raytheon first
