If it was really about drugs i am behind it. But i feel like we can talk to these people. If its about oil, we dont need it. Fk oil
Buckle up Venezuela he is coming for your OIL… PERIOD FULL STOP.
Maybe we can her to turn on heat her mix on the nico 1000 and make a song then have him send some FTD flowers. Preferably Roses.
Congress is crooked so yeah the president can go to war
Congress is crooked and should not be able to make decisions for the American people
Remember the shifty Schumer shutdown they don't give a dam about the American people
So is Congress admitting that they want drugs to flow into the United States, who's getting kicked back from those drugs? Of American citizens overdosing
Cartels are demanding the democrats they bought fight harder against Trump to make him look bloodthirsty. They are suffering financially 😂😂
Congress's has not spokened…😅
I'm sure they were saying the same thing when Obama was ordering drone strikes left and right every day during his 2 terms… Hypocrites
Show some confiscated drugs.Deal with the drug importers in south Florida first.
This whole network is absolutely pathetic 😭
Maduro is the cartel king , take him down
don't forget the oil reserves.resources.
I was on the drug waters in the past. Didn't do it right in the '80s and '90s. Look at our country now. Good job Mr. President. Perfect😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
He wants the Panama canal. He has to control both sides. After he takes Venezuela and Columbia Mexico is next. Then he has the main shipping line and half the world by the balls.
How can somebody even think that this country is against drugs?
Why did they spend billions in the occupation of Afghanistan? Wasn't it for opium?
For what country was Andre Apaid producing cocaine and Marijuana where both are illegal?
We have lost our cognitive abilities when we spend our precious time playing video games, watching sports and movies.
Venezuela Government is a Piniata for Cartels to play with. Laughing and shooting at their own government all day long.
If only 29% of Americans want this, that is not enough for this to be happening. The president needs to be aware of what Americans want and not just be a dictator. This is unacceptable for an administration to just do this without congress's approval and it is war crimes against humanity!
I thought Trump ran on no new wars! Nothing he says is true!
If you're in the United States and it's stupid leaders don't give a c*** about the people of the United States and their kids.What the drugs down South?Then the hell with this country
Maduro: Do not come.
Trump: I'm gonna come!
Americans: Venezuela is going to find out why we don't have free healthcare. FAFO.
Look how many USA people DIES every minute of the hour from drugs
None of this matters we don't have money for a war.We are broke
Democrats now protecting and defending drug cartels who are killing Americans. Democrats are being taken over by communists
Is an abuse trump & his regime shamelessly just want their oil, they care a dime about the safety of venezuelans or USA’s citizens who consume drugs limitedless without punishment, on each corner of USA is a drug lab, distribuitor or seller in downtowns, neighborhoods, luxurious areas and police fbi & Dea suddenly are blind, deaf, negligent… so is BS… venezuela eventhough they have a bad president, they have not bothered other countries including USA in the continent… is unfair the big weapons are used to bully small countries now as literally …pirates of the caribbean.
Satan has really got his people working
So tired of these democrats wasting our tax dollars on stupidity!! These democrats in our current era are just so incompetent . We do not have a choice someone needs to stand up and show these cartels we mean business and enough people have died. This dictator is involved in drug trafficking rather it comes to our country it not , we need to set rules to all these countries that their drugs stay out of the U.S
Trump isn't interested in their fk'n oil. He's interested in stopping those "fishing boats" from delivering their fish. They sure are trying to get those fish over here in a hurry. Multiple high horsepower outboard motors. Lots and lots of packages, bundles and barrels full of fish. Fish prices going to skyrocket.
Democrats have gone too far.This is getting ridiculous. I do believe there's a sleeping giant.That is the american people. The democrats are so corrupt. I'm socialisthe name no longer means what it did.
If these people get back in power.
The contacthe country will be in trouble. From within
Oh, you mean the oil that the Venezuelan President stole from the people? Trump is going after drug smugglers. Venezuela makes money off of smuggling so of course they are not happy.
President Trump is well within his right to attack Venezuela but can’t declare war. He can absolutely use the military just as past presidents have, i.e., Vietnam.
WAR? LOL IT WILL BE A EXCERSISE HA HA.
OIL 🛢️🛢️🛢️🛢️🛢️
VENZUEALA IS ..SOUTH AMERICA NOT SOUTH CHINA OR RUSSIA
Trump and his regime have MURDERED 80 civilians without any evidence or proof!
It baffles me why CBS is reporting the drug traffickers' deaths and not the thousands of people dead because of those drugs. On which side are these people?
Leftist Democrats always side with the villains, & the monsters of this world. The drug cartels are harming our society, & killing thousands of people more than on the evil of 9-11-2001, & more people than the two World Wars combined yet somehow this party only looks at Trump as the true enemy. I am against war too, but this third world dictatorship is sending killer drugs here in the States, & the President has every right to defend our population & to take this regime on. I do NOT want warfare nor troops on the ground.
The constitution is also very clear there shall be a balance of powers and no branch shall be above another in its respect and division of powers vested 😂
Colonizers still want to steal resources! They want Venezuelan oil! If America is all that, do what you gotta do in America to get what you need to survive and thrive! Figure it out! Leave other countries alone! Trump manufactured the tension!
All those same strategies to take oil 🛢reserves
Jimmy is one of the top experts with tons of 1st hand experience. He knows his stuff. Oil is a given, unfortunately. At the same time, because of that with the oil related connections to various other countries mentioned, and, combined with the many issues, this is a good analysis. However, when is the US going to stop sticking their nose into other countries business with endless wars? big sigh.
