LOL Yep..cocaine and NOT fentanyl. And cocaine isn't a WMD killing hundreds of thousands of Americans either. It's basically a recreational drug.

Overdosing on alot of things can kill you. Aspirin. Tylenol. Water. Salt. Vodka. It doesn't mean it's deadly or an WMD. I've done coke before. You should try it. lol

Again with the selective reading. Anything that doesn't affirm your foregone conclusions just edited right out of memory, huh?

Maybe you should have done slightly less drugs.

There was just lots of crazy gunfire in Caracas around the Miraflores presidential complex. Many hundreds of rounds. Turns out that it was military and security forces firing at an unidentified drone. May or may not have been the Americans keeping an eye on things. Video from Caracas confirms that the firing (some of it tracer rounds) was indeed directed at the sky. So far there have been no reports of a drone being shot down and there's speculation that it might have been one of their own Venezuelan drones and the security forces panicked and started shooting wildly.

The White House told News Nation that they are aware of the shooting in Caracas and that the United States is not involved.

While reviewing some information, I found there was mention of Russia sending Venezuela (Via an IL-76) some rocketry to deal with with US naval enforcement in the area (While they were hunting speedboats). It was dated around the 4-5 November 2025.

Trump eventually locked down Venezuelan airspace by the end of November.

The rocketry in question was supposedly Pantsir-S1 and Buk-M2E of which could fire various ballistics including the hypersonic missiles that Russia has been testing.

So it's highly possible that going after Maduro wasn't just about Drugs, Oil or other related things, it was another Cuban missile crisis.

So one of those very big bangs in Venezuela was likely the rocketry going up in smoke.
