    The pretext Trump used for the war was that Venezuela is flooding the US with fentanyl.

    Venezuela doesn’t produce fent and it’s not a significant trans-shipment source. The actual sources are US pharma companies and China.

    I believe that international law frowns on starting imperialist wars of aggression on the basis of lies. And, just as the war is an attempt to deflect attention from the Trump-Epstein files, so is the war on drugs lie a deflection from the real reason for the invasion, which is to enrich US oil companies.
