Venezuela “Druthers” (ep 315)

Venezuela “Druthers” (ep 315)

I am sorry to get myself upset about the administration’s indirect and even deceptive communications over Venezuela activities. This is nothing new from our government, but it does seem worse than usual.

At first, this was about blowing up speed boats that could be taking illegal drugs to the United States. Never mind that Venezuela is admittedly a minor player in the drug trade. And never mind that the US population is willingly buying these drugs. Also, when are we going to admit that our heavy handed strategies for enforcing drug laws are not reducing drugs and are increasing our already world record high jail sentencing rates.

Is this some sort of joke that we are violently arresting a foreign leader for possession of machine guns?

Of course, this whole thing is probably about our legitimate fear of hemisphere influence by China, Russia, and Iran. So what is the red line that cannot be crossed before justified military intervention in a sovereign country? And should we apply that same red line definition for our country’s activities on the other side of the world?
