We did the same thing here, just with a much shittier facade and the lack of a 9/11 to unify people

We literally declared fentanyl a WMD, then said Venezuela was a massive distributor of fentanyl. So “Venezuela has WMDs”. Barely any fentanyl comes from there 😭

After speaking to my parents I have come to realize they still have 9/11 to unify people. Just old ones

Why wouldn’t they give the reason? It’s not like anyone’s going to hold them accountable

Why would they? Since when has the us gov ever asked permission? If they let us know it, it’s not the truth.
