For the sake of my niece Sierra who died last year from drug overdose..damn them all and bomb scourge their operations! Screw them over like they are screwing over young people in our country and all over the world! F them!
I’m so sorry about your niece.
Oh, I hate — I mean really hate — what these ghastly drugs are doing to human beings. Death, destruction, and misery. Pure evil. Those who manufacture, package, transport and sell them are merchants of death.
The thing is, though, that unless it was in the highly unlikely event she somehow died from a cocaine overdose with no opioid involvement (very rare), her tragic end had nothing to with Venezuela. Even in such a rare case, less than 15% of cocaine entering the US transited via Venezuela (none is produced there).
I’d rather see us spend our resources on effective interdiction of these deadly drugs — blowing up those little boats may look spectacular on video, but it’s not very effective (understatement). A tad less cocaine for some EU bureaucrats in Brussels looking to get a buzz on maybe, but it does nothing at all to prevent another heartbreaking fentanyl death in the US.
Again, my heart goes out to you and I am so very sorry about the loss of your niece.
