President Donald Trump is considering plans to target cocaine facilities and drug trafficking routes inside Venezuela, though he has not yet made a decision on whether to move forward with them, three US officials told CNN.
Outward signs on Friday pointed toward a major potential military escalation, with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth ordering the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier strike group currently stationed in Europe to the Caribbean region amid a massive buildup of US forces there. Trump has also authorized the CIA to conduct covert operations in Venezuela.
Reading over Venezuela's history, this is merely because the US oil companies are pissed that Venezuela nationalized their oil.
They won't be targeting cocaine facilities.
Venezuela isn't even a major source of cocaine or even a major transit route for it.
But they got a lot of that sweet sweet crude
Actually of all the things they could have claimed to target, why cocaine?
Like, shit, there's so many other things people could have believed slightly more than cocaine.
one of the steps in purifying cocaine used gasoline. they will target oil infrastructure and call it part of the cocaine production.
