The Spin

Maduro runs a narcoterrorist cartel that floods America with drugs, harbors Iranian drones and Russian military personnel, and has driven eight million refugees from Venezuela while brutally crushing democracy. Regime change isn't optional anymore — it's the only path to ending mass migration, stopping drug flows and removing hostile foreign powers from America's hemisphere.

This isn't counter-narcotics — it's Iraq all over again, dressed up in familiar talking points about limited strikes and precision operations. The press is laundering another war just like 2003, while U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean positions for regime change that'll fracture an already collapsing state and trap America in a new endless conflict nobody voted for.
