US War on Drugs Kills Four Near Venezuela, Praised by Former President
According to the BBC, four individuals were killed in a US strike on an alleged drug vessel. Former President Donald Trump, not one to miss a photo op or an opportunity to hype a military action, proudly announced that the boat contained 'enough drugs to kill thousands of people.' Meanwhile, the US is projected to spend approximately $70 billion on healthcare for its veterans this year, a figure
that's somehow both massive and perpetually insufficient for those who actually served. But hey, at least we’re making sure nobody in Ohio accidentally overdoses on Venezuelan fentanyl, right? So, to recap, the United States, which can’t seem to adequately fund housing programs for its own citizens or stop its own pharmaceutical companies from peddling highly addictive opioids, is out there,
hundreds of miles from its border, blowing up small boats near a sovereign nation. Because nothing says 'democracy and freedom' quite like military expeditions to stop people from getting high, unless those people are in America and the drugs are made by Purdue Pharma. Priorities, people. They just… write themselves.
