I posted this on another Trump/fentanyl news announcement.
When you think back... WMD was what justified the war in Iraq. Now he says this drug is a WMD and is coming in to USA from Venezuela but we know it isnt, most reliable news says so. He has also said it is coming from Canada. Is this his push to justify a full scale attack on Canada?
He legitimately believes that being a wartime president is his key to holding onto power. Either because history shows that wartime presidents poll well, or because he can argue that we shouldn't change leadership during a war. He desperately wants a crisis that he can throw the military at, not the inevitable collapse of the economy that he is unable/unwilling to do anything about.
it only polls well if they are getting an election, but its way past that already.
Got to put troops on the streets in the US to ferret out the insurgents by any means necessary.
it was also one of the justified/continued attacks in the ME by netanyahu, mostly with his obsession with IRAN.
Jon Stewart goes into a side by side comparison of Iraq and Venezuela here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5QGzYFjVaU
Aww shit... Here we go again.
Why don't you fucking find the bogus wmds from the last time before bringing up more?
The only way to stop fentanyl is for the government to sell clean heroin at cost to any adult who wants it.
See China in the 1800s. The entire country ground to a halt on cheap heroin.
The British forced them to buy their opium at gunpoint for a big profit, draining the imperial coffers. The Qing didn't industrialize or grow the state which is the larger issue.
Regardless, currently in North America fent is cheap and easy to get and the country hasn't ground to a halt.
There are drugs in maximum security prisons, so eliminating drugs is impossible. All drug prohibition does is give criminals an incredibly lucrative business and forces people who take drugs to buy stuff that's cut with dangerous shit.
Sounds like a good time. How do you define “halt” in this context, without giving away that you’re embedded in a capitalist society?
The 2025 GOP, by any rational measure, is a weapon of mass destruction.
Also, tacos with salsa rojo.
Does he know it is used in hospitals and what not?
