@ericbkrause@krassenstein A lethal dose of fentanyl can be as little as 2 milligrams (a grain of sand). Fentanyl is extremely potent, and even a small amount can be fatal, even if the dust is ingested, inhaled, or absorbed through the skin accidentally. No other drug in demand poses a lethality threat.
@arvnar0712@fra6056@krassenstein Trump has not invaded Venezuela. The US dislikes Maduro's gov’t for corruption, human rights violations, and ties to narco-terrorists. The crisis in Venezuela has led to a refugee humanitarian crisis threatening the stability of the region and directly impacts U.S. interests.
@CathyScero@krassenstein I don’t know where stupid people on the left are getting this misinformation. China remains the main source of the chemicals used to make fentanyl, the DEA has also ID’d India as a major source. In a US indictment from January 2025, two chemical companies in India were charged.
@MrHowyodoin@j_zeisweiss@krassenstein You’ve intellectual challenges.
Ai is not speaking for countries. We cannot access countries decision-making administrations.
We can access online materials by people more knowledgeable on geopolitics. Ai aggregates those materials and they all agree WW III would happened.
@Litman2stillLit@krassenstein If you were president, how would you stop a militarized drug cartel from importing fentanyl and killing over 70,000 Americans a year?
@Jonjae_The_Mad@j_zeisweiss@krassenstein There’s no weird great area about this. International law is clear. During a conflict, a country can legally target and sink enemy ships in international waters, particularly if the ship poses a civilian threat.

@MrHowyodoin@j_zeisweiss@krassenstein I encourage you to simply ask any AI Service “What would happen If the U.S. sank Chinese merchant ships off the coast of South America”. Every one of them will tell you the geopolitical consequences could be severe, potentially leading to a larger global conflict.
@goon_platoon90@krassenstein The DEA, OCDETF, and US intelligence agencies are sure they were drug smugglers and Venezuelan. No one said they were the dealers. If you think, they’re not smugglers or Venezuelan, then present your facts here so that we’re all enlightened.
@j_zeisweiss@krassenstein America sinking Chinese ships carrying cargo to Venezuela could ignite World War III. It is more prudent and stabilizing to simply cut off the couriers bringing the product into the US.
@jarensel@krassenstein Please enlighten us here with your plan for how to stop militarized drug cartels, from smuggling fentanyl into the United States.
@Jamesmf66@krassenstein Legalizing drugs will not end the black market.
There’s a legal process for buying and selling guns. There’s still a black market for illegal guns.
Some states and countries have legalized prostitution. They’re still black markets for illegal prostitution and sex slavery.
@japaninator@ZwanMahmod@BobMorane1234@krassenstein They’re not civilians. They’re from a militarized drug cartel that is importing fentanyl into the United States. That is killing nearly 75,000 Americans yearly.
@jarensel@krassenstein China is a major nuclear superpower. Also, China is not even importing fentanyl into United States. A direct attack on China would bring us to a brink of World War III. The most prudent course of action is to stop the couriers from bringing it into the US.
@Sophistes_1@Patrici38623654@krassenstein You really believe that all fentanyl deaths are from drug users lining up to replace each other? Unfortunately, war is the ugliest thing man does. However, most wars successfully end when one force brutally defeats another. This involves killing, a reality of our human history.
@HikaTheGoldfish @JML26292458 @JJ_Hoops84@krassenstein All nations can fight in international waters in any war. If you don’t think militarized drug cartels smuggling in fentanyl to kill over 70k Americans a year is not a war, then you’re morally confused. Do you think they can stop this using social workers and conferences on trade?
@Number41963@krassenstein If you don’t see militarized drug cartels bringing in enough fentanyl to kill over 70k Americans annually as a war, then you are morally lost. I suppose you want to stop drug importation from cartels by using social workers and trade conferences.
@Number41963@krassenstein Sure, keep telling yourself that. You’re in an ideological cult. Learn to speak without postmodern, pseudo-intellectual terms like false equivalent, instead use facts and critical thinking.
@Sophistes_1@Patrici38623654@krassenstein The military and police cannot stop it, just like they can’t stop prostitution, illegal gun sales and other illicit trades. That does not mean you should do nothing to to reduce it, or to take proactive measures in attempting to stop, especially with fentanyl. It saves lives.
