- IncreasePosts 9mo agoMaduro is responsible for the mess by stealing an election and installing himself as dictator
- olelele 9mo agoThis is such a bad take I don't even know where to start.
- whateveracct 9mo agothat doesn't sound like a United States issue
- IncreasePosts 9mo agoNot in itself, but the trafficking of drugs into the US is a US issue.
- johnnyanmac 9mo agoOkay, so Mexico in that case has every reason to invade DC and kill thr president, then. Sounds good to me.
- IncreasePosts 9mo agoIs trump operating a cartel to supply illegal drugs across the Mexican border?
- ImPostingOnHN 9mo agoCould be, in equal measure to Maduro: There's no authoritative, definitive court judgement either way for either person in question.
- the_af 9mo ago> Is trump operating a cartel to supply illegal drugs across the Mexican border? Maybe, who knows! Let's send a commando raid into the US, send Trump to DF to be indicted. Then we'll find out. This won't happen simply because Mexico is an ant and the US is a bear, and so Mexico cannot pull this off. Also, Mexico isn't out of their minds.
- jdiff 9mo agoIf there was drug trafficking, why has the administration failed to provide any evidence of it on the many boats they've destroyed and the many lives they've taken for it? Instead, the limited evidence we have points at the boats being entirely unrelated to drug trafficking. If the administration had evidence, it would be in its best interest to have shared it already. Instead they keep on pushing points they can barely articulate and that conflict with known information.
- IncreasePosts 9mo agoThey indicted Maduro and his cronies in 2020, before anything with the boats. And the "why" might be that there is no standard that a government needs to release the information they make decisions on. In fact, it's more standard to not release it under the guide of "sources and methods". In any case, are the boats even related to Maduro or just some other thing?
- N_Lens 9mo agoIt's not about drugs, it's about oil. Anyone saying otherwise is just arguing in bad faith.
- the_af 9mo ago> Not in itself, but the trafficking of drugs into the US is a US issue. They are already backtracking on the "Cartel de los Soles" accusation, after finally realizing there's no such organization, but it was always a slang frase about corruption in the military. Maduro cannot possibly lead an organization that doesn't exist. Source: NYT. The indictment removed almost all of the mentions of this cartel, now phrasing the accusation in much broader, vague terms. It wouldn't surprise me if at some stage they changed tack entirely and tried a different angle than drug trafficking, since, let's face it: It's about oil. Trump is not shy about this.
