B402, Not only you being a liar about being independent, but now obviously one who is happy to turn a blind eye to extra-judicial murder on the high seas, unarguably clear violations of international law. But's that's no problem to those who care nothing for justice anywhere, or for US domestic law either. See:

It is notable that the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in its most comprehensive annual report on the subject, the 2023 World Drug Report, states that Colombia, Peru, and Bolivia are the main cocaine producers. The same report identifies Australia, New Zealand, U.S., and Spain as the largest cocaine consumers worldwide. Curiously, Venezuela is not mentioned in any of these reports, neither as a producer nor as a major consumer. https://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=176766935"

[Why Nicolás Maduro Faces Criminal Charges in the U.S.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called Mr. Maduro, the Venezuelan leader who faces narco-terrorism charges, a “fugitive from American justice.”
By Benjamin Weiser Oct. 1, 2025
Trump administration officials seeking to remove Nicolás Maduro as the leader of Venezuela have been citing a federal indictment returned half a decade ago in Manhattan as one justification.
P - The indictment, by a grand jury in March 2020 during President Trump’s first term, charges Mr. Maduro in a decades-long narco-terrorism and international cocaine trafficking conspiracy, and accuses him of overseeing a violent drug cartel as he rose to lead the South American nation. The United States is offering a $50 million reward for his capture.
P - The United States does not recognize Mr. Maduro as Venezuela’s president, but the decision to indict a putative head of state was unusual, representing an escalation of the Trump administration’s efforts to pressure Mr. Maduro to leave office.
[...]For the Trump administration, the nation is of keen interest. Its socialist leadership presents an attractive ideological target, and the nation has the world’s largest proven oil reserves, though its nationalized industry is moribund.
[...]Around 1999, the indictment says, while the FARC was in purported peace negotiations with the Colombian government, the group agreed with leaders of the Cartel de los Soles to relocate some operations to Venezuela.
US forces in the region have so far focused on counter-narcotics operations, although the assembled firepower far outweighs anything needed for them
