Any excuse to start another war

Drug cartels are evil and I don't think anyone except those that benefit from them would say otherwise. But at the same time the US just conducted a military strike on civilians of a foreign country. And what proof does the world have that they actually were drug smugglers besides the US saying "trust me bro"? To me this sounds like an excuse to bomb whoever the fuck they want and just say it was the bad guys after the fact.

Just like Putin says that they are only killing Nazis in Ukraine when they bomb apartment buildings.

Just like Israel is saying that they are only killing Hamas when they bomb schools and hospitals.

Even if this is accurate, is drug smuggling worth killing over?

According to Responsible Statecraft, lobbying groups in bed with Exxon Mobil have been leading the campaign for “maximum pressure” against Venezuela, with the goal of protecting the company’s control of over 11 billion barrels of oil in neighboring Guyana, which has been referred to as a “petrostate” closely aligned with the oil giant.
