President Trump has signed an Executive Order categorizing the narcotic fentanyl as a “weapon of mass destruction.” He did that to increase his legal options in dealing with Mexico, by far the largest exporter of fentanyl in the world.
The President is now willing to use military force against drug merchants, as the world has seen with the destruction of Venezuelan boats. Land action is coming.
Mexico has been a corrupt country ever since the turn of the 20th century. The drug cartels rule about a third of the nation through fear. They kill opponents and their families at will. The government in Mexico City is too weak to stand up to them.
Therefore, the USA is faced with a choice: allow hundreds of thousands of drug-involved Americans to die. Or destroy the cartel structure. That’s it. There’s no other option.
Fentanyl is poison. It is cheap to make, easy to smuggle. Billions of dollars are derived from the weak people who buy it.
So, now, the substance is a WMD. And the United States is determined to eliminate it and those who profit from it.
Good. That needs to be done.
See you this evening for the No Spin News.
