It is actually very easy to establish that Venezuela is not producing or exporting fentanyl. Fentanyl is not a crop or a naturally occurring substance like coca or opium. It is a fully synthetic opioid that requires a controlled supply of specific precursor chemicals and a stable industrial or clandestine laboratory process. Those precursor chemicals overwhelmingly come from China and go to Mexico, where established cartel labs convert them into finished fentanyl or counterfeit pills. That supply chain has been documented for years through seizures, precursor orders, lab raids, and chemical tracking. None of those chemical flows point to Venezuela.

So the absence of precursor imports, lab capacity, seizures, cartel involvement, or trafficking routes makes it very straightforward to say Venezuela is not a fentanyl source. You do not need to trust the government on blind faith. The logistics themselves tell the story.

And I will fully admit I am Joe Schmoe Six Pack Politard, but if you are on desktop you can see my location. It's only notable for two reasons: it's home of the US Army Intelligence Center and it sits directly on one of the most notorious smuggling corridors in the country and is consistently a top 3 entry point for fentanyl into the U.S. I live here for a reason and I do know a little more about what US intelligence has gathered about this particular subject than the average politarder. None of it, NONE, points to Venezuela.

You say “what we are doing” as if a policy built on a false premise is some noble cause. It is not. Fentanyl does not come from Venezuela. It never has. Every available source from DEA reports to trafficking maps shows the same China to Mexico route. So when you call people “sacks of shits” for pointing out basic geography and supply chains, that says more about your emotional instability than the facts.

If you want to support military action, then defend the action on its own terms. Don't pretend it is about fentanyl when the drug you are invoking as your moral cover does not even originate there. Facts are not opposition. They are just facts.
