Attacking Venezuela is not MAGA. It is more neocon bullshit.

No, D. L., no. You mean well, brother, but you’ve been blindfolded and spun around. You’re disoriented. To win a war, before one can stop the enemy, one has to identify that enemy. Before one can win a war, one has to name that enemy.

Fentanyl addiction on the scale that we have would not take root if our nation was mentally and spiritually healthy. China is just using the same playbook that the colonial powers used on them during the Opium Wars. Venezuela and China are not the root cause of this. American no longer has any values. The American dream is no longer attainable. We have allowed the elites to develop a K shaped economy. Regime change in Venezuela will not fix the problems at home. How many billions is this “wag the dog” mission costing taxpayers?

Daniel - The enemy is the American drug addict. But for the addicts, there would be no market for illegal drugs. The American drug addicts are the homeless, the criminals, the emergency room frequent flyers, the destroyers of families and homes, who voluntarily commit suicide by taking drugs they know or should know are laced with fentanyl.

One thing about today's political climate is that even children can see with great clarity who is on the side of lawlessness. We have people now who want to disregard our laws, denounce our Constitution, mock our sovereignty, oppose law enforcement, and they applaud assassins who kill, or try to kill, people just because of their beliefs. These people want to achieve power to rule and decide a nation based on laws, but they think their path to power is to make law their enemy. Let's see how that plays out for them.

Legalize drugs

The government should not regulate what chemicals a person can put in their own body.

Fetanyl doesn't come from Venezuela. This is about oil. Trump said it yesterday.

China is absolutely supplying the Cartels/the US with fentanyl. That said, DL is still a partisan bootlicking toady and should be relegated to self-publishing.

Cubans have totally infiltrated military and run it. China is establishing itself there and it helps Iran with sanctioned oil.

I’m sorry, Cubans run what military (besides Cuba’s)? Little Marco doesn’t even run the State Department. Just seeking clarification.
And China is establishing itself wherever we aren’t, which is why dismantling USAID was f’cking stupid and seditious.

The biggest joke in the history of politics is the "War on Drugs".
I give Trump credit for finally tiring of the endless hypocrisy in South America about a "war on drugs" and cut to the chase: Just seize the oil tankers. Remove the hostile regimes controlling oil and drugs so that American oligarchs and banking interests can control that source of wealth. Blowing up a few speedboats was a photo op but still looks silly. There's money to be made and "interests" to be protected.
Get on with it!

Don’t legalize drugs.

1119 gets it right. junkies and addicts make more trouble than all the rest combined.

Trump is crazy as a switch engine. Look up that term. “Cracking down on drugs”, then pardoning a convicted know drug kingpin. I do appreciate his clamping down on the border!

Cubans have infiltrated WHAT military? And cubans run what/which military? Quit being cryptic.

It would be nice if there was physical evidence that drugs are on those boats. I would like to see us capture a few and verify what’s going on. I suspect it’s mostly cocaine. Most of the fentanyl is produced here in the US. The precursors are shipped in directly from China.

Venezuela is about oil. Period.

If you believe this is about stopping drugs you should also be expecting Santa Claus to come down your chimney in a few days. It's about oil, it's about who controls the oil and who controls drug money. Bombing little boats? Get real. Seize the tankers. Change the regime.

We seem to forget our Cubans fled Castro and are anti-communist and historically vote GOP. There are, at most 3 million and change in the entire U.S. Of those, 70% live in Florida with Texas as 2nd ( mostly Dallas-Ft. Worth). Yes, Cuba, the island has been communist since Fidel and some remember The Cuban Missile crisis during the Kennedy administration.

Most of the fentanyl is produced here in the US.

Link?

The Monroe Doctrine specifically was about EUROPEAN colonization. The definition of " colony" is important. It requires the direct action of a foreign power not in our hemisphere to establish and support a separately governed community. Theodore Roosevelt expanded it to justify maintaining stability and making us the hemisphere's " policeman". That's a role that requires us to at least, be "hired".

K.F. Only 17.9% of our military are of Hispanic ancestry and 69.89% are white males. The next largest blocks by race are mixed or unknown. Of course, white males have to be willing to serve as we no longer draft the unwilling. I'm frankly in favor of a draft so our citizens would again be better informed about military law and civics in general.

Only 8% of our military officers are Hispanic but Hispanics have served in ALL our wars and the first Brigadier General who was Hispanic served in The Civil War. No need to continue to scare our young men or give excuses to the shiftless. What should still concern us is poverty ( the breeding ground of many societal ills) the lack of good parenting and parental financial support and declining educational ability. We can teach those skills. We had to have immigrants to get the high-tech skills we needed to compete in a global economy and SO FEW of us can speak a foreign language and our competitors have fluent international representation at their negotiating tables! P.S. Einstein wasn't born here.

Only 8% of our military officers are Hispanic but Hispanics have served in ALL our wars ...

Non sequitur. Try again.

So, you're OK with the next-door 14 year old paying 5 bucks for a pill that causes his daddy to buy a casket?

Venezuela is all about the oil? Bullshit. Are you old enough to remember all the liberals squawking about Iraq being about Bush's plan to abscond with their oil? The U.S. conquered and did not take a single barrel.

Please explain. Or don't.

@4:04 They don't abscond with anything. You establish control. We install regimes which will ultimately cater to our interests. We are not petty thieves. We are economic power brokers (or at least our masters are) But you can believe it's about drug pushers and stopping motor boats carrying pounds of drugs if it makes you feel better.

9:22 The Monroe Doctrine was simply an extension of "Manifest
Destiny" and you should know what that was about. American imperialism by another name.

12:29, The solution is to legalize drugs?? Take a seat, adults are talking.

7:35, it doesn’t matter what they are transporting. Blow them out of the water if they are running drugs. To stop people and cartels that deal drugs, you have to talk in a language they know.

No foreign power mucking about in our hemisphere, says the man mucking about in their hemisphere with upwards of 300 bases and outposts.

We have to be willing to do what it takes to stop the drugs. We have to be willing to give up on slow due process. We cannot waste time waiting for evidence, the DRUGS ARE KILLING PEOPLE NOW. Slowly asking permission to do things is the way of the loser, we MUST stop the drugs now. President Trump is the only one strong enough!!!

"cut to the chase: Just seize the oil tankers. Remove the hostile regimes controlling oil and drugs so that American oligarchs and banking interests can control that source of wealth"

And an outsized number of those oligarchs are stupid thugs from Texas, colloquially known as "oil barons."

It's no coincidence JFK will killed in Dallas, and former head-spook George H.W. Bush chose to settle in Houston after he was run out of the White House.

Then they forced another Texan down our throats, George W. Bush, who quickly set about making a Houston company named Halliburton obscenely wealthy by invading Iraq.

And now we’re about to invade Venezuela, on behalf of Chevron.

D.L. doesn't really write articles; he's more like a hype man for Trump stories. He'll write one or two original sentences that serve as his topic sentence/thesis statement, and then he just copies and pastes chunks of facts and statistics from other news sources. Needless to say, his writing technique does not emulate Teflon Don's "weave."
