There is a certain irony here with Trump heading up the rhetoric and charge to go after the leader of Venezuela on purported drug charges... meanwhile, Trump has pardoned other convicted drug traffickers.

Is he for or against the drugs? Or is it that the drugs are a smokescreen for other interests?

Or maybe we (the US) just kind of suck.

Trump has always pushed the drug thing to try (and fail) to bring attention away from the Epstein files. I believe that Trump would completely topple another country before apologising for his actions that he definitely did
