Is this in your mind, is this an act of war? Is this something different? What exactly is this? So far, in my view, and I'm just talking about public information, sure There have not been acts of war against Venezuela, but there have been potentially violations of international law in essentially killing people without a legal justification that's been articulated publicly. What's been happening is, and by the way, let's be very clear, I'm against drug dealing, I'm against drug trafficking, I'm against drug importation and drug running. (42:47–43:06)
