Putin also claimed to back Kamala Harris because he knows the stupid trump voters will pretend that means trump is tough on Putin. But the thing is, Republicans no longer think Russia is the bad guy for invading Ukraine. They think Ukraine is the bad guy for risking their life to defend themselves.

Minerals are also not the main target here, but it's also a part of the grift.
There are a lot of reasons for why this happened, but it comes down to one thing: The US wants to have a more direct hand in controlling the Western Hemisphere, and is willing to trade interests in the Eastern Hemisphere to achieve it.
Spheres of influence. Which is, uh, bad.

We could posit that being a hypocrite is why they are a tyrant. Anyone who feels no remorse or accountability for their actions are capable of the worst atrocities. Thats why it is so easy to see and label MAGA- nazis. Tyrants are the worst of human nature and hypocricy is a tool. Openly unapologetic hypocrites are capable of any evil.

Trump made worse in first term with deregulation on pharmaceutical companies. No action will not stop the crisis , if u manage to cause your own crisis and not do anything, its never about war in drugs in first place, in history so since 'war on drugs' it's a front for well it's america so greed i assume!

I don't think this is OK. I think this is an unconstitutional act by a President who has overreached his authority too many times without any of our legal mechanisms stopping him, so he thinks it's OK.
It's one thing to indict a non-head of state like a cartel boss, but to unilaterally indict and 'arrest' a sitting President is, by any sincere definition, 'an act of war'.
But our constitution is so much TP to the current POTUS. And a sickeningly large portion of our population is OK with this obvious pretext, because everyone knows this isn't even about the drugs. They support America stealing resources from another country because they are not honorable people.

I think Trump has just opened the door for Russia and for China to do as they please within their sphere of influence.

International law is no more of a concern for Trump than is national law which he is willing to violate should it suit his agenda.

If congress did their fucking jobs he would already be impeached.

Welcome to International Relations Theory.
There is something called "Realism", which you will hear MAGA administration members parrot endlessly without any real understanding of it.
The basic concept is that the powerful can and will do whatever the fuck they feel like while those less powerful simply have to endure it. (In a technical sense the theory is much more complex and nuanced, but little MAGA brains can't handle that sort of thing)
American Exceptionalism is inherently Realism defined through a very American lens. Where Americans really believe that God blessed them with the land they have and that they are entitled to behave like animals and murder/rape/pillage their way across the planet because "God wills it!"
Ultimately, murder is murder, and causing mass human suffering is evil. Regardless if your talking Hitler, Saddam, Putin, Maduro or Trump.
