YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

JD Vance spent the weekend trying to explain why the Trump administration launched aggressive military action against Venezuela — despite the fact that fentanyl, the drug most often cited by Trump and his allies, is produced largely elsewhere. In a lengthy statement, Vance acknowledged that fentanyl primarily flows through Mexico while arguing that cocaine profits linked to Venezuela still justify U.S. force, and even referenced American oil assets seized decades ago. The problem for the administration is simple: if the public justification for military escalation keeps shifting, people are going to ask whether the original reasoning was ever real — or whether this conflict was always about something else entirely. Farron Cousins discusses this.
