That first press release was just... off the chain! This whole conflict was under the premise of drugs, drug trafficking, drug cartels. But as soon as Madruo was in hand Trump could not stop talking about Oil, the Oil industry, how much the US invested in their Oil. OIL! It was starting to feel like that Crow in Game of Thrones. Corn! Corn! Corn!
I don't think a World War is off the table. In fact, I think this gave the green light to these types of conflicts which will inevitably lead to the Franz Ferdinand of our era, the sparking of the keg. Denmark prime minister already said if the US touches Greenland Article 5 is getting enacted.
