No blood for oil
The Bush administration was making similar arguments during the lead-up to the Iraq War. Just substitute nuclear weapons and Fentanyl
Fentanyl is the casus belli for war and regime change. Venezuela does not produce Fentanyl Venezuela DOES have 17% of the world's oil reserves

Ever notice no one from the 60's tells stories of beating up hippies, oppressing Civil Rights marchers, or supporting Nixon?
Make sure you can proudly tell your grandkids what you did in 2025.
Nobody from the 60's talks about sitting on the sidelines either
