Intel: Stock, Latest News, and the AMD Showdown

Generated Title: So Europe's Too Good for Trump's Drug War Now?

So, Europe's suddenly Mr. Morality when it comes to Trump's "war on drugs" in Venezuela? Give me a break.

Apparently, France, the Netherlands, and the UK are so troubled by the US military flexing its muscles against Venezuelan drug traffickers that they're limiting intelligence sharing. Limiting intel sharing... because they're worried it could be used for "illegal" strikes? Please. Illegal according to who? Their own oh-so-perfect laws?

Caribbean Cold Shoulder

These European powers, clinging to their little Caribbean territories like they're still running the world, are suddenly concerned about human rights violations? The same countries that built empires on, uh, let's just say "less-than-ethical" practices? The hypocrisy is thicker than crude oil.

The Dutch are sweating about their ABC islands – Aruba, Bonaire, and Curacao – sitting a stone's throw from Venezuela. Makes sense. They don't want to get caught in the crossfire if Trump decides to go full Rambo on Maduro. And France, with its Martinique and Guadeloupe, is probably just worried about the optics. Can't have those pristine beaches getting sullied with a little... collateral damage.

But let's be real: this isn't about morality. It's about self-preservation. They don't want to be complicit in something that might be legal in the US but would land them in hot water back home. Richard Dearlove, former head of MI6, calls it "a local and a specific issue." Yeah, a specific issue of not wanting to get dragged into Trump's mess.

And what's with the US releasing "no details" to back up claims about the people they're blowing up in the Caribbean? Since September, at least 83 people dead via air strikes on boats accused of ferrying drugs. Eighty-three! And nobody knows who they were, or if they were even guilty. Sounds about right.

Intel Snub: A Real Blow or Just Posturing?

Rubio calls reports of the UK cutting off intel sharing "fake news." Offcourse, he does. Can't have anyone thinking the US is losing its grip, especially not on its supposed allies.

The article quotes a French security source saying Europeans aren't giving the US any intelligence that could lead to a strike. But then it also says the US doesn't even need their intel. So which is it? Are they making a stand, or just making noise? Troubled by US Venezuela operation, Europeans limit intel sharing.

And let's not forget the "risk of antagonizing the Trump administration." A European intelligence source admits they have to "think twice" before saying no to the US because the US provides "a lot" of information. So, they're willing to compromise their principles for... information? Sounds about right.

I mean, what kind of message does that send? "We care about human rights, but not that much." It's like saying, "We're against drug trafficking, but we're also against, you know, actually doing anything about it that might be slightly controversial."

Then again, maybe I'm just being cynical. Maybe these European countries really do have a sudden surge of moral clarity. Maybe they're finally standing up to the bully in the White House. Or maybe they're just covering their asses.

Europe's "Principles" = Political Cover

This whole thing is a joke. Europe isn't suddenly woke. They're just trying to avoid getting splattered with the fallout from Trump's latest power play. Don't expect any real change.
