it seems more like a personal power game than a principled fight against smuggling.
And this is what it all comes down to, right? It has nothing to do with drugs in the US, or anywhere else. It is just more personal and political games.
Moreover, it is kinda funny that Maria Corino, a Venezuelan, has bagged the Nobel Peace Prize (she wants ballot over bullets, so it is the Constitution which matters) — while Trump wanted it so badly.
They wanted it for Gaza - but the prizes were announced before there was even a ceasefire in Gaza. And that "ceasefire" is not exactly holding too true at the moment. Is there peace there? I don't think so.
