    What is there to do or say to people about this?

    It’s just completely fucked. The misinformation on Bsky and from the Reddit-nazis under every post about it is just totally unproven astroturfed bullshit about the 2020 accusation of Madruo being involved with cartel activity that Barr conjured up. But it never went to any kind of court and there’s no conviction? Nobody has provided a scrap of truth at all. The U.S. is just bombing an entire nation and it’s military without any kind of legal due process. Just like everything else the administration has done abandoning due process.

    I’ve been looking around to try and find any kind of evidence that might be used to justify this so I can be educated and prepared in an argument against it but nothing I can find supporting their arguments is grounded in reality at all. Even if there IS evidence of cartel activity I don’t think war is the answer and American citizens should be fighting against this in every way they have access to, but I don’t wanna be blindsided by that when I argue against it.

        It’s crazy! Theremoved, murder and kidnapping administration of the U.S. is violating the sovereignty of another nation without a SHRED of evidence! And there are libs that are just eating the propaganda hook line and sinker. “Listen I don’t agree with doing this. Even against a THUG like Maduro.” And WHAT THE FUCK DO THEY MEAN! The U.S. administration is the only evidence I’ve seen of any criminality. THE US MILITARY are the thugs. Are people just that brainwashed?

          ‘for narco trafficking!!!’

          meanwhile, Orlando Hernandez, ex president of Honduras is pardoned despite the fact that:

          “US prosecutors argued that he was a central figure in a more than 18-year-long drug-trafficking scheme that funnelled over 400 tonnes of cocaine into the US - equivalent to roughly 4.5 billion individual doses”, and “US federal prosecutors accused him of accepting a $1m bribe from notorious drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán for his first presidential campaign in exchange for protecting narcotics routes through Honduras.” Prosecutors also detailed how “Hernández abused office by shielding drug traffickers armed with machine guns and grenade launchers. In exchange, he received millions of dollars to fuel his political campaigns.”

          Are people just that brainwashed?

          They choose to believe the narrative because the alternative is acknowledging that they themselves are monsters who support all of this if it means they get their treats.
