If it stops narco-terrorism, isn't it worth any cost? Look at the definition of terrorism: Definitions from Oxford Languages · Learn more ter·ror·ism /'ter??riz?m/ noun the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims. "the fight against terrorism" "Narco" would be a modifier indicating some relationship to drugs in the current vernacular. So Maduro is being charged with trying to achieve political aims via drugs. Somehow. I suppose this could feed back to the claim the 2020 election was subverted by the dead hand of Hugo Chavez via Smartmatic. But outside of that, I dunno. While sounding impressive, it doesn't mean much. Sounds a lot like the portmanteau of Islamo-fascism that was used to justify Afghanistan and Iraq. They seem to be using the same guidebook. No doubt, it will result in the same clustefuck as those two.
