President Donald Trump said that the United States "knocked out" a "big facility" in Venezuela last week.

“Well, it doesn’t matter, but there was a major explosion in the dock area where they load the boats up with drugs,” Trump responded. “They load the boats up with drugs. So we hit all the boats and now we hit the area. It’s the implementation area. That’s where they implement. And that is no longer around.”

            it’s wild how if they wanted to just have like, even the optics of not being evil, they could have at least rebuilt it (even if it’s under western ownership and therefore rent seeking imperialist bullshit) but no I think they just bombed it and were like “welp I guess people are just going to die now”

            and blueMAGA still likes the clintons!

              Why put the effort in when they don’t have to? Like you said, democrat voters still like the Clintons. At least enough that they just got away with it.

        Guardian correspondent Patrick Wintour elaborated that the plant “provided 50 per cent of Sudan’s medicines, and its destruction has left the country with no supplies of chloroquine, the standard treatment for malaria”. He also noted that the British government (who publicly supported the U.S. decision to bomb the factory) refused requests “to resupply chloroquine in emergency relief until such time as the Sudanese can rebuild their pharmaceutical production”.[20] The factory was a principal source of Sudan’s anti-malaria and veterinary drugs according to the CBW (Chemical & Biological Weapons) Conventions Bulletin.[21]

        demons are real and they are neoliberals

        they were never able to rebuild their chloroquine production, but another drug eventually was produced partially with Chinese support
