while i would actually support bombing drug traffickers and treating them as terrorists in general, that isn't how drugs are distributed in 2025 (it was in 1985), and venezuela, particularly, only really exports cocaine, which is certainly not what the masses of homeless drug addicts are participating in property crimes in order to pay for or overdosing on. cocaine is the drug your rich aunt and uncle are addicted to, and the reason you're not getting an inheritance, but it's not causing property crime or overdoses in the downtown cores. homeless people cannot afford cocaine, and can't even afford crack anymore, which is why they do meth, which is more intense and far cheaper.

if you want to have a real war on drugs, i'd actually be in support of it, but bombing alleged venezuelan cocaine traffickers isn't helpful, and will just drive up the prices for the mexican cartels.
