You see a lot claims that Venezuela has nothing to do with drugs because most of the fentanyl comes from elsewhere. I want to address this:
First off, fentanyl isn't the only drug in the world and there is still fentanyl coming from Venezuela (or at least there was).
Second, cocaine, which is the main drug trafficked out of Venezuela, is a profit center for all of the Latin America cartels. If you cut out the money from cocaine (or even reduce it) you substantially weaken the cartels overall. Also, cocaine is bad too!
Third, yes, a lot of fentanyl is coming out of Mexico. That continues to be a focus of our policy in Mexico and is a reason why President Trump shut the border on day one.
Fourth, I see a lot of criticism about oil. About 20 years ago, Venezuela expropriated American oil property and until recently used that stolen property to get rich and fund their narcoterrorist activities. I understand the anxiety over the use of military force, but are we just supposed to allow a communist to steal our stuff in our hemisphere and do nothing? Great powers don't act like that.
The United States, thanks to President Trump's leadership, is a great power again. Everyone should take note.
And PSA for everyone saying this was "illegal":
Maduro has multiple indictments in the United States for narcoterrorism. You don't get to avoid justice for drug trafficking in the United States because you live in a palace in Caracas.
The deepest proof of care is when a person lets you disturb their patterns, that's when you'll know they're invested in you. See, ppl confuse effort with investment. Effort is flowers, dinners, late night calls. Cute, yes. But effort doesn't always cost someone anything real.
A lack of accountability from an elected representative!
Instead of probing the causes of, and solving the unemployment and cost of living crisis now causing people to die trying to get a job to serve it; we can conclude that it’s God’s will they die?
This woman must resign!
We are clearly in a new era of arrogance and impunity.
The cycle just continues while the actors change.
Is it not amazing that Jakpa, a former co accused of current finance minister has led 7 millitary men to the former ministers house? To conduct an unconstitutional raid!?
@yiniboma_ Well that's why Pwamang said you Dont have to give reasons for exercising that power.
But you exercise your discretion and come and explain that when you were acting as lawyer for the accused you thought it was a wrongful prosecution so now as AG you are discontinuing the case
How does the Attorney-General come and tell us he's interested in being accountable for his prosecutorial power and proceed to drop charges against people he represented as a private lawyer. That's a clear conflict of interest!
