Fentanyl is responsible for over 70% of U.S. drug overdose deaths and fentanyl comes from Mexican cartels made with chemical precursors from China and trafficked across the U.S. Mexico border.

Mexican cartels are primarily and overwhelmingly responsible for killing Americans with deadly drugs.

If U.S. military action and regime change in Venezuela was really about saving American lives from deadly drugs then why hasn’t the Trump admin taken action against Mexican cartels?

And if prosecuting narco terrorists is a high priority then why did President Trump pardon the former Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez who was convicted and sentenced for 45 years for trafficking hundreds of tons of cocaine into America?

Ironically cocaine is the same drug that Venezuela primarily traffics into the U.S.

The next obvious observation is that by removing Maduro this is a clear move for control over Venezuelan oil supplies that will ensure stability for the next obvious regime change war in Iran.

And of course why is it ok for America to militarily invade, bomb, and arrest a foreign leader but Russia is evil for invading Ukraine and China is bad for aggression against Taiwan?

Is it only ok if we do it? (I’m not endorsing Russia or China).

Americans disgust with our own government’s never ending military aggression and support of foreign wars is justified because we are forced to pay for it and both parties, Republicans and Democrats, always keep the Washington military machine funded and going.

This is what many in MAGA thought they voted to end. Boy were we wrong.

As the baby boomers slip away both in votes and power, the electoral future will be decided for candidates that focus on American economic populism and promising prosperity for Americans only.

As of right now, neither party is offering the solution.

Israel congratulates the operation of the United States, led by President Trump, who acted as the leader of the free world.

In this historic moment, Israel stands with the freedom-loving Venezuelan people, who have suffered under the illegal tyranny of Maduro.

Israel celebrates the removal of the dictator who led a network of drugs and terrorism and hopes that democracy returns to the country and friendly relations between the states.

The people of Venezuela deserve to exercise their democratic rights.

South America deserves a future free from the axis of terrorism and drugs.

Late last night and early today, at my direction, the United States Armed Forces conducted an extraordinary military operation in the capital of Venezuela.

Overwhelming American military power, air, land, and sea, was used to launch a spectacular assault.

It was an assault like people have not seen since World War II.

It was a force against a heavily fortified military fortress in the heart of Caracas to bring outlaw dictator Nicolas Maduro to justice.

This was one of the most stunning, effective, and powerful displays of American military might and competence in American history.

No nation in the world could achieve what America achieved yesterday.

All Venezuelan military capabilities were rendered powerless as the men and women of our military, working with U.S. law enforcement, successfully captured Maduro in the dead of night.

It was dark. The lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to certain expertise that we have. It was dark and it was deadly — but he was captured.

These highly trained warriors, operating in collaboration with U.S. law enforcement, caught them in a very ready position. They were waiting for us.

They knew we had many ships out at sea, just sort of waiting. They knew we were coming.

They were in a ready position. They were completely overwhelmed and very quickly incapacitated.

If you had seen what I saw last night, you would have been very impressed.

I’m not sure you’ll ever get to see it, but it was an incredible thing to see.

Not a single American service member was killed, and not a single piece of American equipment was lost.

We’re going to run the country until such time as we can have a safe, proper, and judicious transition.

We don’t want to be involved in having somebody else step in and end up with the same situation for the last long period of years.

We're going to stay until such time as the proper transition can take place.

We're going to run it, essentially, until such time as a proper transition can take place.

We’re going to have our very large United States oil companies, the biggest anywhere in the world, go in and spend billions of dollars to fix the badly broken infrastructure, the oil infrastructure, and start making money for the country.

We’re ready to stage a second and much larger attack if needed.

We will make the people of Venezuela rich, independent, and safe.
