This is a much bigger game and it is not just about drugs. Just trying to stop things at the border is not sufficient. Trump is dealing with trans national criminal organizations that traffic human beings, launder money, run weapons, etc. Not to mention that the same money is used to fund operations here in the US trying to overthrow the government and destroy our Republic.

They declared war against us years ago. Trump is taking the fight to them. This is a proactive strategy. Just because Trump deals with things like this differently doesn't mean he is going to all out war. He is projecting strength and the days of the US just rolling over are done. Yes, things can be a little tense, but there is a strategy involved. Unfortunately, Trump has been forced to clean up the mess that his predecessors have left him. Remember, he has access to intelligence that we do not. So, he has obviously identified Venezuela as a main player in this war against destabilization, at least in the Western Hemisphere.
