Would hope it’s a bluff that works wrt greatly reducing the drug trafficking into the US. The pessimist in me sees an attempt at regime change disguised as drug interdiction.

Seems to encapsulate what most people think of this.

Not really

"Drug traffickers in South America do not produce or traffic fentanyl.
The State Department’s March 2025 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report stated: “The Department of State, in consultation with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other relevant agencies, has identified Mexico”—especially its northwest, 3,000 miles from Venezuela—“as the only significant source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogues significantly affecting the United States during the preceding calendar year.”
A New York Times analysis concluded on September 3, 2025, “There is no proof that it [fentanyl] is manufactured or trafficked from Venezuela or anywhere else in South America.”
In Colombia, Infobae reported in December 2023, “so far the National Police has not detected any fentanyl production laboratory in Colombia.” A senior police official told WOLA that year that the country’s few detections of fentanyl had been stolen from hospitals or pharmacies.
Most cocaine does not transit the Caribbean; the Pacific route is far more common.
Venezuela is plagued by criminal activities, and there is evidence of deep links between government officials and illicit economies, including drug trafficking, fuel trafficking, illegal mining, and money laundering. "

I'm good with torching the drug boats coming in. That's as far as it should go.

Floating around Facebook...take it with a grain of salt .or not.
🚨🚨 BREAKING: Venezuela’s former Chief of National Intelligence Hugo Carvajal has OFFICIALLY RELEASED every U.S. Senator who is on THE VENEZUELA LIST of politicians who have been receiving MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN KICKBACKS from the Maduro regime and Venezuelan drug trafficking organizations that make up his government in exchange for using their government positions and influence to undermine President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth’s ongoing war with these narcoterrorists. Every one of these Senators is guilty of providing aid and comfort to THE ENEMY during a time of war and has the blood of their fellow American citizens (HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of whom die of drug overdoses every year at the hands of these criminal drug trafficking organizations that bring deadly drugs into our country) on their hands.

Need to change the title of this thread to "Peace Presidents Venezuela War" or "Donny Dumbass Tries to Hold on to Power Past 2028 War".

Need a stronger "anti" option.

This is far beyond unreasonable or doesn't make sense.

I tho't people were tired of decades where the US issued sanctions against countries then do nothing to enforce those sanctions.
