What drug(s) have caused the most overdoses/deaths in the United States in recent years?
How much fentanyl comes from Venezuela?
Now...one can do the "checkers and chess" song and dance like @Spekkio tried to do above, or one can apply Occam's Razor....This administration, bereft of actual policies or a world view that spans beyond 2028, sees a (relatively) beatable foe, an "easy" win, and can use it to justify continued immigration and border practices of dubious legal standing...because who's gonna tell 'em no...?
Of course, if you insist on the chess not checkers gambit...perhaps starting an armed conflict with Venezuela is just the pretext needed to dust off the Alien Enemies Act that those pesky courts keep poo-pooing...
What's going to be more interesting, and will reveal if there are any adults with their hands on the tiller, will be if/how USN/USMC assets are used for HADR following Melissa. Something something about bees, honey, and vinegar...
