I think people are missing something pretty important here: this creates justification to use the US military against its citizens. Sure, it may just be to justify an invasion of Venezuela, but I suspect it’s more substantial than that. Saying the cartels have WMDs within the United States manufactures a threat that the military needs to fight. These “WMDs” are in every state and every city. They have manufactured a credible reason to use the military anywhere in the US against any group of people because it’s so pervasive.
Well… That sucks. Makes a depressing amount of sense.
I fly an EMS helicopter. We use fentanyl every day for pain management.
This world is a joke
So you transport and utilize WMDs on the daily?
That’s something really cool to brag about on a date lmao
Hey it’s me ur date
Sounds like a terrorist. Get em boys!
No the world isnt a joke. Your country is a joke.
Imagine getting charged with a personal amount of WMDs
Some smoke detectors have some radioactive materials in them.
the cartels and foreign networks that have turned fentanyl into the leading cause of death for Americans aged 18-45
why even add this? the cdc’s data doesn’t even mention it in the top 10 causes.
Yesterday he said the US has earned $18 trillion from import tariffs when the entire US trade is around $7 trillion.
Truth means nothing. Reality means nothing.
Cool we made 18 trillion, prices should be going down any minute now
What do you mean “going down”?? They’re already lowest in history, the best prices under any president, anyone can tell you that, the prices are some of the most beautiful prices you’ve ever seen, people come and tell me they have never seen prices so low like this, they say how do you do it, how, because prices were high under crooked Joe Biden and would be even worse under crooked Kamary Harrton, but thanks to our beautiful tariffs we are now respected, the world respects us, and politicians from all over the world come to me for advice on running their countries because we have the most beautiful prices in history! Thank you for your attention to this matter.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command
literally 1984
If they really cared about drug addiction and the consequences the sacklers would be in prison and he wouldn’t be pardoning every drug trafficker that gives him a bribe
Temu Iraq War
Flip side, Venezuela probably does actually have fent
drone strikes on Pfizer and Merck facilities are imminent! The Sackler family are being sent to Gauntanamo!
We could do that or we can invade a bunch of countries and strip away rights from people.
One can dream
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 Canada. Is this his push to justify a full scale attack on Canada?
Trump’s threatening of Canada has everything to do with the Tar Sands and trying to bully oil suppliers out of the market to keep the oil price from crashing.
Starting an actual conflict with Canada wouldn’t really help that longterm for the US, which doesn’t mean it won’t happen but makes it an accidental eventuality that could happen as an unintended less-likely outcome rather than an intended effect.
Little more to the south. But you’re spot on
Sadly, Canada has supported US on designation of Mexican cartels as “state sponsored terrorists”, and continues to provide logistical support for boat murders. Humanizing Trump/US empire does justify “Canadian values are to submit to being the next US invasion target”. Gaslighting of Canadians to permanent submission to US is only policy/values we have.
So America is harboring WMDs? Quick somebody assemble a coalition of the willing to liberate them.
It’s even being controlled by religious fundamentalists!
You mean terrorist organizations?
Yes
This may be the plan, internally. I believe there are certain provisions that allow the US military and intelligence groups broader rights if they can categorize the action as “against WMDs”.
That’s a really good point. They can say Venezuela has fentanyl and invade their country.
Canadian super labs.
Sounds like you have a wmd that’s easy for police to plant on people.
So, anybody that’s ever knowingly handled, trafficked or deployed a Weapon of Mass Destruction on US soil is going to be hunted down by anti terror agents, I’m assuming?
Doctors, nurses, delivery companies, pharmaceuticals manufacturers, etc, yes?
Not to mention the number of countries in the world and free agents that now have access to huge numbers of WMDs, all of whom now need to be closely monitored and the US must change its relationship with all of them, given the seriousness of what they now possess.
And obviously, anybody that’s ever publicly deployed a WMD anywhere will have to be detained if they attempt to enter the USA. Can’t have potential terrorists wandering about the country after all, not if they’re on record as committing the unspeakable act of using a Weapon of Mass Destruction on a peaceful public populace.
This is just a flimsy justification for America’s military invasion of Canada, given their repeated, official accusations from the very highest levels in their government, that Canada is flooding huge amounts of fentanyl into the USA.
To claim it is a WMD, after claiming Canada is attacking their country with it, and then to not take any military action against Canada to defend against these WMD attacks, would be admitting military defeat.
Has the USA admitted that Canada has bested them on the field of battle? Are they too scared to meet Canada head on? Sure seems like it.
America’s military invasion of Canada
What does that even look like, the day after US troops occupy
TorontoOttowa? Canadians waging an insurgency from the woods, occasionally killing some random cops?Do you think Canada doesn’t have a military or something?
America’s military budget is 895B. Canada’s military budget is 9.3B; essentially a rounding error here.
The US is now post-parody.
Cool throw the Sachlers in prison for war crimes then. The opiod epidemic stems from them.
Can’t wait to go to work tomorrow and accuse our anesthesiologists of war crimes!
He will use the to justify a war. Which he will then use as an excuse to not have elections (because he saw Zelenskyy do it.) But I bet a cheeseburger takes him out before any of that.
The us had elections in WW2 and the civil war.
I’m well aware.
But this is speculation on what Trump could do to justify his usual unprecedented antics.
His idiot followers don’t know that.
And if not, I sincerely hope that a cheeseburger takes me out before any of that.
