   If DT is successful in cutting off the cocaine and fentanyl imports in   
   to the US, the sellers will shift more to exporting to europe. That's   
   happening already.   
      
   Given that about 100K americans die from drug overdoses a year, Maduro   
   is a mass murderer and we have a moral obligation to stop the drugs,   
   any way that works.
