Finally, the US government targets a dictator who murders thousands of Americans every year.

[Votto]

I can't think of a better and more righteous target to incur the wrath of the US military than I can drug cartels, and those helping them.

Over a hundred thousand Americans die every year from drugs coming from these cartels across the US border.

It is almost equivalent to all the American deaths in the Vietnam war, yet America has not acted like they were really at war until Maduro was targeted.

And guess what, I could care very little about all the conspiracy theories as to why Trump really went after Maduro, because no one I know questions that he was helping to run illicit drugs into the US, nor do they question that he subverted election results to stay in power. He is basically an illegitimate thug who deserves to be put in a high-speed boat in the Gulf of Trump and turned into fish food.

When will America ever wake up?

And I am tired as hell of Democrats bending over backwards to defend and protect criminal thugs like Maduro.

To hell with them all!!!

I feel conflicted by this. I think Trump is a moronic idiot. But Maduro is an idiot, too. It depends what Trump does next. If he wants to do it, he should go the whole hog. Get the US military in there to set up an election with the US military running it.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again

Something less than 90,000 drug overdoses occur yearly

Most from fentanyl , Venezuela provides cocaine. But not ALL the cocaine that comes here.

So even if Trump’s antics stopped ALL cocaine importation from Venezuela… it might have ZERO effect on drug ODs.

At best it would have very little effect

This never was about drugs and that’s evidenced by Trump PARDONING Hernandez who was as involved in drug dealing as Maduro

Cause that worked so well the last time we tried it (with much more capable morons running things)

Yeah, and that's a good point too. Let's not forget Putin is a dictator too. Don't see any US forces kidnapping him any time soon.

You question the CDC that puts drug overdoses over 100, 000?

And if you are correct, is 90,000 somehow better?

Really?

So, if you are correct, why is the 90,000 Americans who are being murdered by these drug cartels not even a concern for you?

Is it because Orange man bad, but you hate Orange man and must also hate everything Orange man does even if it is putting away these drug cartels?

Or is it you are a Leftists and as a rule don't give a damn about human life as you murder the unborn, release as many criminals as you can in the US justice system to run rampant on the streets, and support Islamo fascism that leads the world in terrorism every year other than with the drug cartels?

Do you really want to depopulate the earth that badly to save us all from, gulp, Climate change?

The CDC puts the number of drug overdose deaths at just north of 90,000 as I said

And as I said most have nothing to do with Venezuela

Stop saying stupid shit

This is not and never has been about drugs

Maybe you don't know that the fentanyl is mixed with cocaine? You never just take straight fentanyl.
During Biden's term more than 400,000 Americans died from drug overdoses.
During Trump-47's term there should be less than 200,000 US deaths if Trump keeps pressuring the drug cartels.
I don't like the Hernandez pardon either, but saving more than 200,000 US lives is a MAJOR EFFECT.

“saving 200,000 lives” is not only a lie


It’s a fantasy

This will likely save NO lives. Cocaine does not only come from Venezuela and cocaine is not the major reason for drug ods.

In fact PRESCRIBED drugs is a major factor

How much will blowing up Venezuela affect that?

Dope. The dope is you

What a shock, once again you'd be wrong. Drug overdose deaths involving Cocaine rose from 12,122 in 2015 to 59,725 in 2023.

We'll see after Trump's closed border and war on the drug cartels how many ODs there were during Trump-47's term, should be less than 200,000, saving more than 200,000 US lives.

No. Do you still have your addiction to your King? I was always taught you should finish what you start. The Orange Buffoon has started it, now he needs to follow it through (LOL...I know it's funny eh? Trumpie Wumpie following through? Ha!!)

There is some irony in that the U.K said "we will no longer share intel with America".

A month or so later America goes in with full intelligence information and extracts the accused criminal.

America is obviously not trusting of the UK and the rest of the Five Eyes are risking their access due to violations of citizens rights. The world changes and those who were once allies become not-so close allies...

Mexico's cartels are taking a $1.3 billion bite out of the economy through extortion—and they're getting hungrier | Fortune

In Mexico City, the number of reported cases nearly doubled in the first five months of 2025, the highest total in six years.

fortune.com

Drugs are not the only reason to take out drug cartels. Extortion has siphoned some $1.3 billion from the citizens of countries in Central and South America, along with their violent terror along with it, causing an immigration crisis in the US.

Drug cartels SHOULD be enemy #1, so any political party that decides to align themselves with them should do so with caution.

Speaking of which, politicians south of the border are tools of the drug cartels, and if they refuse, they die. What ever happened to "power to the people" chants from the Left?
