"President Donald Trump has brought Americans into an undeclared, unprovoked, illegal, and unconstitutional war against a sovereign country, murdered its citizens, and kidnapped its leader in what Trump called a large scale strike against Venezuela and its President Nicolas Maduro. Why war? For what reason? Trump is pushing our country into war without any explanation. The Constitution requires Trump to go to Congress. Without congressional approval, Trump's actions violate U.S. law."
"Trump claims he is combatting narco-terrorists. But Venezuela is not a major producer of drugs like fentanyl, and most of the cocaine it does produce goes to Europe, not the U.S. And it is noteworthy that Trump has pardoned several major narcotics traffickers, including Juan Orlando Hernandez, who ran a huge drug operation when he was president of Honduras from 2014 to 2022."
President Donald Trump ordered a large-scale U.S. military strike against Venezuela that captured President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, bringing Americans into an undeclared, unprovoked, illegal, and unconstitutional war. The operation proceeded without congressional approval, contravening the Constitution's requirement to seek Congress before engaging in war. The United States Supreme Court has effectively granted Trump absolute immunity for his actions. Trump framed the strike as targeting narco-terrorists despite Venezuela not being a major fentanyl source and most of its cocaine going to Europe. The action is portrayed as driven by oil interests and possibly intended to distract from domestic controversies.
