Designating fentanyl as a weapon of mass destruction is based on wildly inflated death statistics and lacks scientific basis, with no documented cases of weaponized fentanyl in the U.S. Military strikes on Caribbean drug boats won't reduce overdose deaths since fentanyl isn't produced in Venezuela or smuggled via those routes. Pardoning convicted drug traffickers like Honduras's former president while claiming to fight cartels reveals a contradictory policy with no steady principled focus.
