"What's really interesting about the strikes in Venezuela is the fact that only 8% of the drug supply that comes into the US is coming from Venezuela. Most of it is cocaine. I have no sympathy for narcoterrorists being killed. It's just worth noting that over 90% of the drug supply coming into the US is coming in from Mexico, especially the fentanyl. Fentanyl isn't being manufactured in Venezuela."
"Given that 90% of the drugs coming into the US that are killing Americans are coming from Mexico, when can we expect to see air strikes on the Mexican cartels in Mexico? Or what about China, since China produces the chemicals that are used to make fentanyl in Mexico? It makes me wonder why this hasn't been done surely the @DeptofWar knows where all of the Mexican drug lords live."
The Department of Defense conducted airstrikes against alleged drug-smuggling boats near Venezuela while Venezuelan-origin drugs account for about 8% of U.S. supply and are mostly cocaine. Over 90% of deadly fentanyl entering the U.S. is linked to Mexico, with precursor chemicals sourced from China. Concerns have been raised about prioritizing strikes on Venezuelan vessels rather than targeting Mexican cartels or precursor producers. Questions also exist about operational effectiveness and alignment with the administration's goal to stop fentanyl flow given geographic and supply-chain realities. The strikes have generated controversy regarding targeting decisions and potential collateral outcomes.
