And this is why people should question government motives,
I have heard it said that the real reason the US is attacking Venezuela is at least two-fold, and has nothing to do with drugs. Venezuela sends far fewer drugs to the US than other countries, so that justification is illusion. Maduro, the president the US was unsuccessful in overthrowing recently, opposes the US. Reason #1. The second reason is that V is loaded with oil, and if we can control that, we can postpone the impending collapse of USD. Maybe long enough to blame that on the next administration. I'm no expert on any of this, but having watched the US's actions world wide since the attempted coup in the Ukraine in 2014, and being quite aware of the kinds of lies my government tells us, I think these factors are far greater than the influx of drugs.
somewhat related is our medical industry, always in cahoots with the government, was probably very happy to make us believe oxycodone is a big problem, because that stuff was both very effective and really inexpensive. We had all gotten used to getting a dozen or more doses after just about any medical event, and we all know full well just how good it is at alleviating pain. So what do they do to all if us? Take it away, seemingly overnight. That is a fabulous method, if your goal is to make addicts. Or patients with stashes who take it without medical supervision. One might think they are trying to make us sicker. Oh wait! They are!
The US government keeps on hyping their "kill the terrorists" rhetoric, but they are not the cause of the problem.
The US government is the largest terrorist organization on earth.
And the family of the pharma that systematically engineered and drove the problem, didn't do a minute of jail time, and instead keep on going as "philanthropists". It is sick.
Yet, most Americans don't seem to see it, and will even fight for it. Oh hang on... this is what happens with terrorist organisations....
