  2. I wonder where his cabinet and family source their coke from.

  3. But then where will his finance and tech bros get their breakfast from?

  5. Just do the damn regime change and get it over with….. no one is buying the slow roll into via ‘dangerous drug boats’ ….. such a pathetic spectacle

  6. All this just to fix his son’s coke addiction? Sheesh man you know rehab exists

  7. Why do I get the feeling this is more about oil than cocaine?

  9. It’s weird how a bunch of old, objectively physically and mentally unwell, and surprisingly stupid dudes can direct thousands of people to do unethical and often criminal nonsense under false pretenses and they just have to do it or they become the criminals.

  10. If we were serious about a war on cocaine, we’d be bombing Colombia where more than 90% of it is grown and processed. This is a joke.

  12. Isn’t most of cocaine produced in Colombia? This whole thing is weird.

  14. The media normalizing this shit is maddening. These are crimes. That’s an invasion. “The president is considering invading a sovereign nation and committing murder”

  15. There are very few coca fields in Venezuela, it only grows at a specific altitude in Andes along the Columbian border. There are also very few processing labs there. According to the UNODC, only about 3% of the cocaine from South America comes from Venezuela. This is not about drugs. It’s about oil.

  16. I’d say someone should tell him the war on drugs was a metaphor, but he probably thinks that’s a man with a bull head

  18. The real drug they’re fighting over here is oil. We could outsource our dirty oil there with no regulations and process into gasoline. Don’t fall for the cocaine/fent/whatever nonsense.

  21. Isn’t that the plot of Clear and Present Danger? Did Trump just randomly see this movie?

  22. Jr.’s supplier called in some favors against the opposition

  23. They’re are going to call domestic drug dealers terrorist soon after and use that the enact insurrection measures

  24. But what will Don Jr. snort? Or is he getting it from some other region?

  25. If anyone believes Trump and his family/administration cares about _stopping_ drugs you have to be so insanely stupid. They care about drugs, that is for sure.

    He is trying to be a strong man, like his slave master Putin.

    And maybe he is hoping you guys forget about Canada and Greenland already?
    Or the Epstein files?

    How does the White House look these days?

    Any fat pigs with military grade equipment kidnapping civilians near you?

  26. Most Venezuelan shit ends up in England or Spain lmao, when’s he gonna target Colombia?

  31. He’s looking for a war to distract from the economy and other issues.

  32. So THAT is why the USS Gerald Ford aircraft carrier is heading that way.

    The buttwipe who calls himself “president” is doing everything he can to take our attention away from the Epstein Files, ICE raids and the tanking economy.

  34. Bolivia and Peru supply 8% and 27% of the world’s cocaine respectively. Colombia has the rest. Notice Venezuela is not on that list.

    This is what is so dangerous about these fascist talking points. Not only is this fearmongering and demonizing a drug which is only produced largely to supply the *American* demand for it, but the regime in charge is redirecting that fear to justify attacking a country that ISNT responsible for its growth, production, or trafficking.

    DONT FALL FOR IT

    The headline is inaccurate. Heres a better one: Trump admin creates rumors of cocaine labs in Venezuela, considers attacking country over drug which isnt responsible for the opioid crisis.

  35. I hope for the future where these people are tried for war crimes.

  36. So just straight up bombing another country.

    Cool cool cool.

    Making America great. Good job.

  37. Gotta love the pre textual justifications for war. Fuck this administration

  38. He’s going to start a war in South America. No peace prize for you!

  39. So, we’re redoing the “war on drugs” after knowing how it turned out the first time? Bold strategy.

  41. At this point I don’t know why they try to mask anything. Just say you are going to invade, the cult doesn’t give a fuck

  42. So when does the invasion start? That oil isn’t going to steal itself.
