In today’s tumultuous world, it seems like everyone and their dog has something to say about the ongoing drug crisis. Fortunately, there are still a few voices of reason cutting through the noise, such as that of Staff Sergeant David Bell, a Medal of Honor recipient who never shies away from speaking his mind. When it comes to the fight against drug cartels in Venezuela led by former President Trump, Sergeant Bell is a staunch supporter. He finds it baffling how anyone could defend the actions of these narco-terrorists, and quite frankly, he has a point.
Imagine living in a world where it’s more challenging to be a Democratic spokesperson for narco-terrorists than being an actual narco-terrorist in Venezuela. Sergeant Bell paints this picture with vivid color. He highlights how Democrats, with their rather perplexing approach to drug issues, are practically rolling out the red carpet for these cartels. In places like his hometown of Buffalo, New York, local officials are suggesting that drug consumption should be a buddy system affair, complete with Narcan at the ready, much like a sugared-up person at a fair with a T-shirt cannon.
Meanwhile, former President Trump was waging war on these cartels, turning the Venezuelan waterways into a scene straight out of Shark Week. He made it known that trading crude oil with Iran, enabling our adversaries, or introducing more criminal elements to the United States was not going to be taken lightly. Sergeant Bell finds it refreshing that for once, a political leader was not just uttering empty campaign promises but actually had the gall to follow them up with real action.
The Democratically inclined might raise their eyebrows at the idea of Trump going after boats filled with contraband. Some representatives, like Congressman Robert Garcia, fail to grasp the urgency, asking questions about strikes on these maritime nuisances as if pondering the philosophical merits of a Star Wars plot. It’s almost an intergalactic level of misunderstanding when it comes to defending ships associated with the fentanyl trade. This kind of rhetoric does nothing but underscore the lack of serious solutions from that side of the aisle.
At the end of the day, Sergeant Bell recognizes what many Americans do: the need for decisive action in combatting the spread of drugs, which claim so many lives each year. Former President Trump harnessed the power of the U.S. military to target those exacerbating this crisis, and for that, Sergeant Bell believes he’s done the country a service. It’s a simple fact: no more empty rhetoric, just real work to back up the safety and future of American citizens. After all, isn’t that what a country should expect from its leadership?
