Drugs? No. War?! No, words have meanings and that's not what "war" means.

Ignoring diplomacy? Are you accusing the US of ignoring diplomacy, because that's the only half ways reasonable interpretation.

This is weak and pathetic misinformation. I guess it will take a few days before the propaganda machine gets going to try to justify this gigantic waste of taxpayer money and pointless destruction. Hopefully the pros get involved because this is just sad.

You can watch even CBS explain why this was done. Maduro was letting the cartel use private planes under diplomatic immunity to traffic drugs and weapons. EVEN CBS. Don't close your eyes and ears now.

It's a wee later and I just saw this comment, but do you still think drugs were a motivator for taking Maduro?

The only thing I have seen Trump talk about is oil.

What do you think opens my eyes means? Gutlessley accepting politically driven propaganda as truth?

I'm a scientist, show me the data. Don't give mine your propaganda and tell me it's truth v
