DEFENDING AMERICA FROM A CHEMICAL WEAPON: Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Order designating illicit fentanyl and its core precursor
At least those countries are at least associated with fenntanyl and its supply chain. Venezuela is not as far as I’m aware. So it makes the whole thing much more preposterous.
And just to clarify, we should not be starting any wars over the drug trade since that is much more effectively combatted by dealing with the causes here at home. As long as there is demand there will always be supply.
I’m not saying Canada has a significant role. Venezuela just isn’t involved at all.
“Based on seizure data and law enforcement investigation information, the consensus among U.S. authorities is that Mexico was the only significant source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogues trafficked into the United States in 2024.”
You’re assuming he’s talking about using this as an excuse to invade Venezuela. I’m assuming he’ll use it as an excuse to invade Canada and Mexico. He’s already made up bullshit about how it’s pouring over our border, and he’s already threatened our country with annexation.
There’s no way that happens. The oligarchs would lose money in the conflict. They gain money in a Venezuela conflict presumably. They have a lot of oil, like almost Saudi levels of oil, and there isnt enough trade with Venezuela for a war to upset the pocket books of the wealthy.
You’re missing the other countries he’s used fentanyl to harass: Mexico, Canada, and China.
Okay, but all of those are evil countries corrupted by the insidious hand of the Marxist Antifa
that damn antifa organisation. Why don’t they stop terrorising the USA!!

Sure, buddy…

Venezuela isn’t even mentioned. Neither is Canada I suppose. And that is U.S. gov data. So not like they can claim they didn’t know.
You’re forgetting a crucial thing: Trump doesn’t care about facts

If they invade it, the US won’t attempt to annex Mexico because giving Mexicans US citizenship will piss off Trump’s racist supporters.

I’m sure the US could feel entitled to Canadian oil too, and then make up a justification afterwards.
More fentanyl flows into Canada from the US than flows into the US from Canada.
Wasn’t that part of the Iraq justification? “We know they have WMDs because we gave them to them!”
