The strategy needs to make sense. More neocon war mongering and destroying countries leads to more chaos, drugs and migrants.
The sensible solution is to enforce borders and limit drugs/guns/migrants there. Turning Venezuela into another Afghanistan will just achieve what the Afghanistan war did, aka 10x their drug production. The US doesn't have to fight cartels, they just need to keep a secure border.
Trump is going for regime change in Venezuela, that means more chaos, more drugs and more refugees. The strategy should be a stable Venezuela and largely not caring about Venezuela while enforcing the border.
This is similar to when people living in a cave in Afghanistan were allowed to go to flight school in the US. The solution to 9/11 wasn't banning Afghans from the west, it was the patriot act, a surveillance state and failed wars.
