Naivety at its finest. The author is flabbergasted that Europe didn’t come to the rescue to save a “democracy” because Maduro was “elected” by the people of Venezuela.

Note he barely spent one sentence articulating his “narco-terrorist alibi” point. A telling obfuscation of the facts if there ever was one.

The narco-currency financed destabilization of the United States has come to an end.

Please elaborate on this "narco-currency financed destabilization".

Surely it is the narcotics themselves that are destabilizing the USA. What foreign influence (unless it is the Devil himself) has ever been needed to make Americans want to get high?

Non poteva essere spiegato in modo migliore la decadenza europea e la nuova geopolitica dettata da Trump.

Game of Chinese Whack-A-Mole.

Eradicate completely drug incomings from "Latin America" and more moles would "suddenly" pop up over yonder

I'm seeing Maduro Deal as a 3fer

1) No More Dope

2) Give US Back Our Oil

3) Show us how this election engineering works

** Xtra Points for inside info on immigration sponsorship by CCP or Unknowns

I think your point (1) is more likely to be that the Maduro-abduction is to allow more dope to be planted inside Venezuela. To stop opium growth, you need the Taliban in charge of Afghanistan. To stop cocaine production, you need another regime with religious fervor against cocaine production. For Fentanyl, it is the same, except that more and more fentanyl production is now inside Canada and Mexico. Remember the Iran-Contra episode.

The idea that either narcotrafficking or illegal immigration into the United States is being directed by the CCP just won't fly, it's nuts.

How and why would a series of highly profitable enterprises that have been run by North and South Americans for generations, be taken over and directed by Beijing?

Totally nuts.

Opium Wars took away Hong Kong and gave it to Brits for 150 years. Still wincing from that loss, Revenge Factor is Huge.

Now shoe is on other foot. Weaponized Capitalism? You Got It! Let's use The Chinese Road!

Chinese gotta find the drug trade amusing. .. a practical joke with profits and side benefits .. evolving constantly as are most Chinese interactions with the West.

Evidently, selling packaged tours including "A Walk on the Great Wall" wasn't enough. Though bringing over operators like Tim Walz was nice at the time. And just look at how he's done .. Wowzer-Bowzer with a Fortune Cookie

Allen Dulles preached Plausible Deniabilty and CCP etc were listening. So if, your "directed by the CCP" fingerprints are missing, no reason to blame mixed nuts

So you have zero evidence that the CCP is directing the drug trade, and you don't seem to think it's important to have any either.

This belief is an act of pure faith on your part.
