https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/venezuela-rejects-ridiculous-us-plan-designate-cartel-de-los-soles-terrorist-2025-11-24/WASHINGTON, Nov 24 (Reuters) - The United States on Monday formally designated Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign terrorist organization, layering additional terrorism-related sanctions on the group it has said includes President Nicolas Maduro and other high-ranking officials.Venezuela's government rejected what it called a "ridiculous" U.S. plan to designate the "non-existent" group.Secretary of State Marco Rubio said this month the U.S. would designate Cartel de los Soles, or Cartel of the Suns, as a foreign terrorist organization (FTO) for the network's alleged role in importing illegal drugs into the U.S.Maduro faces escalating pressure from President Donald Trump's U.S. military buildup in the Caribbean, raising concerns that the U.S. may seek to use the designation to justify military action. Sanctions experts, however, have said the statute for the designation does not authorize such a move.The U.S. for months has waged a campaign of deadly strikes against suspected drug trafficking boats off the Venezuelan coast and the Pacific coast of Latin America.U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the designation would bring "a whole bunch of new options to the United States," in excerpts released on Thursday from an interview with One America News.U.S. officials have accused Cartel de los Soles of working with the Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua, which Washington also ties to Maduro and previously designated an FTO, to send illegal narcotics to the U.S.
Remember when trump shills kept saying he was the anti war candidate? And now he's trying to start new wars?
>>1459853Gotta do something to distract from the recession he's causing with his tariffs
>>1459997you mean the epstein files.
>>1459839OML will someone please stop TRUMP?I need my fucking nose candy and this orange bitch is just blowing up my fucking blow.
>>1460016your post made me forget who jeffrey epstein is, good job shill
Reminder Cartel de los Soles, much like Antifa, doesn't actually exist as an organization. It is just a euphemism for military personnel involved in the drug trade used by media.
>>1459839Won't somebody PLEASE think of the drug dealers???
>>1460065If the military can summarily execute you if they declare you a criminal, there is nothing preventing the military from summarily executing you.We're thinking of basic human rights and rule of law, dipshit.Speaking as someone that lives in meth country, I worry about buildings I drive by randomly blowing up enough without the military deciding it's war crime o'clock for drug dealers.
>>1460019Democrat donor, Jeffrey Epstein?Jeffrey Epstein who ran free until Trump's first term?Get dRumpf nothing burger number 13,563??
>>1459853Trump nearly got killed for refusing to start new wars, he learned his lesson. BTW, prepare your ass for deployment. All you newfags will be sent to the front lines, so you will die or lose some limbs fighting to protect Israel's business worldwide.
>>1460067First the government came for the illegals, and I said nothing because I'm not an illegal.Then the government came after the drug dealers, and I said "make sure you get all the drug dealers."
>>1460065In the past the Coast Guard just interdicted the boats. Reminder that with these recent boat strikes there have been survivors and when they capture them they immediately let the prisoners go in their home country rather than attempt to prove they had anything to do with drugs going to the US.
>>1460347Informants?
>>1460252When? I seriously hope you aren't trying to spin that staged assassination photo op as some pro war plot.
>>1460345>First the government came for the illegals, and I said nothing because I'm not an illegal.If they came for the illegals, why did they keep arresting, imprisoning and in some cases deporting legal immigrants and citizens?Also, bold of you to actively refuse to learn the lessons from First They Came.
>>1460480Those who support illegals are caught between two worlds; their countrymen and the foreigner. Those who defer to the latter decidedly isolate themselves from the former, so they have no just claim to remain in the United States. Even if they are allowed to live amongst other Americans, they will always be known as the Other.>Also, bold of you to actively refuse to learn the lessons from First They Came.The implication of that poem is that the In-Group eventually becomes the Out-Group. But that is a lie perpetuated by a demographic that only survives by planting the seeds of multiculturalism in foreign nations, and sabotaging them when they no longer become hospitable.
>>1460486No, because most people don't think like you freaks.
