Rubio just slapped the whammy on Maduro. Designated his cartel as a terrorist org.
When this destination is formally filed, I imagine that gives the US military the same leeway it has with ISIS.

Quote:Marco Rubio says Nicolás Maduro’s Cartel de los Soles to be designated a terrorist organization
Criminal network allegedly led by Maduro has corrupted Venezuela's military and judiciary, State Department says
By Emma Bussey Fox News
Published November 16, 2025 7:43pm EST

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Sunday that the Cartel de los Soles, a powerful criminal network tied to Venezuela’s top leadership, will be labeled as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO).

The move appears to be an escalation in Washington’s stance toward the Venezuelan government and could lead to military action against the Maduro regime.

In a statement, Rubio confirmed the U.S. will formally designate the cartel as an FTO later this month.

The designation, which is to take effect Nov. 24, targets the criminal network allegedly led by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and senior members of his regime.

I can back regime change when the regime has infiltrated our borders. No issue at all. FAFO

Yes, we are going to FAFO by doing that. Not that this wouldn't be any less retarded or doomed to repeat every single mistake of the past 20+ years, but at least if we were doing this to the government of Mexico it would be attacking the location where actual drugs are coming from. Instead Trump has let Marco and a bunch of deranged right wing Miami ex pats convince him to carry out their anti communist wet dream to a country that by the governments own estimates provides nearly zero of the fentanyl entering the US. This has nothing to do with drugs, if it was really about drugs you'd pick the countries they are actually coming from and not just the communist wet dream target.

Maduro has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel. He's gone.

If we facilitate that, sooner the better for the entire region.
