On Wednesday on CNN’s “The Situation Room,” Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) said the Trump administration’s military strikes on alleged drug boats were a “catastrophic blunder” policy-wise.
Host Wolf Blitzer said, “You’re a key member of the Armed Services Committee so I want to ask you about what’s going on with Venezuela right now. Venezuela says it’s launching a massive military mobilization in response to a very significant U.S. military buildup of warships and troops in the Caribbean. As I said, you’re on the Armed Services Committee. You’re also on the foreign relations committee. Just how much latitude does the U.S. have right now to justify its naval buildup and the lethal strikes on alleged drug boats in the Caribbean?”
Kaine said, “Wolf, I think this policy is a catastrophic blunder. I was a missionary in Honduras. I’m the Foreign Relations Lead Democrat on the Committee of the Americas. I think treating this as a military intervention is a big mistake. You saw yesterday that our closest ally, the United Kingdom, has now stopped sharing intelligence with the U.S. on activities in the Caribbean and the Pacific near the Americas because they believe the U.S. strikes are violating international law. And when you amass such naval presence near Venezuela, you are dramatically raising the risk that Venezuela will, you know, pick up something on the radio or see a move and think they’re going to be under attack and then respond in kind.”
He added, “Venezuela has some very significant weapons that they’ve purchased from adversaries of the United States.

Idiot cowards like Kaine would never do one damn thing to slow the flow of drugs into the country
No, it’s not.
It’s sorely needed and long overdue.

I thought Walz weirder than Kaine, which was quite a trick!
No Tim, you’re the catastrophic blunder.
Kaines Mom’s insemination was a massive blunder.
Notice no mention of the drug runners. That’s a campaign ad.
Its brilliant. Do we all not think these folks are having to reorganize their entire operations to smuggle drugs. These are messages being sent. Will they listen?
Which means Trump is right on target .... follow the money and see who squeals when the boats are sunk ... so far we have US Senators, Columbia, Mexico, GB and other Euros.
Yep! It has been enlightening for sure. I love how they expose themselves.
Note to Timmie,
Stop wishing that those adversaries use their weapons on your countrymen!
Your dress has slipped off and your underwear is showing!
Yourself is a “Catastrophic Blunder,” so shut the hell up!

Trump should send Maduro a satelite picture of himself with a crosshairs imposed upon it.
I bet we know exactly where he is.
In 2023, there were approximately 72,776 deaths from fentanyl overdoses in the United States. Since 2021, over a quarter of a million Americans have died from fentanyl overdoses. Yet people like Timmie don’t care. If some foreign country dropped a bomb on a US city and 72k people died, we’d be at war. Timmie can piss off.
He is a male harridan!
Had the USA shown this kind of “tough love” on narcotics smugglers when the VERY INEFFECTIVE “War on Drugs” began back in 1971(!), we might not have to be dealing with this deplorable problem/situation!
IIRC, President Nixon took note of increasing USA drug abuse problem and called for devoting federal resources to fix the problem.
54 years later, and our drug addiction problem is MUCH worse!
Drug use/abuse is a cancer on our nation, and so far, the results of the “War on Drugs” is a ZERO!
OUR President is sending a clear message to narcotics smugglers, and I applaud him for it: “FAFO!”
I’m not optimistic that the problem can be solved, but Fer Shure! Fer Shure! It won’t be if the US government doesn’t up the ante to the point that the smugglers fear for their lives!
PRESS ON PRESIDENT TRUMP AND GITTERDONE!
Tim Kaine has ALWAYS been a ridiculous drama queen
If that could only be proved...I’d say the Dems could be in a heck of a mess.

Maduro should ask for advice from Noriega, currently in Panama doing 20 for murder.
Operation Just Cause II may be brewing with 24% off the US Navy off the Venezuelan coast. Now supersized with Ford.
