I wonder how many DC law firms are getting cartel payments.

I understand the rationale for putting the cartels on notice, but.

I have to wonder if it isn't better just to do it without the fanfare. I will not put it past the drug terrorists to go Hamas in their tactics and begin using human shields.

The cartels have nothing to worry about. Democrats and lefty judges will come to their rescue.

I guess the VP squadrons at Jax will have a new mission.

Not much different from what we did in the 70's & 80's looking for soviet subs.

Before the “War on Drugs” in the early seventies, I seem to recall reading a gram of cocaine sold for about a hundred dollars. Two or three cartels controlled the import. They could only import as much as they could import. The way the cartels enforced their monopoly was to murder anyone who tried to import on their own. Ordinary citizens would fly to Columbia, buy cocaine and get reported to the cartels by the seller. They would be murdered. This limited the number of people who could import. The War on Drugs destroyed the cartels. This created an open market, which is much more efficient than a cartel dominated market. Go to the link to find the world price of a gram of cocaine in today’s dollars. It is substantially cheaper than it was when the cartels ran the show.

This is one of those things where you chop one head off the dragon and it is replaced by two more. The answer, which nobody wants to hear, is to fix the demand side of the equation. Economic law is, where there’s a demand there will be a supply. I don’t know how to do that, as the drug is available in Saudia Arabia, so chopping off body parts probably won’t work. The answer would be cultural and would take a long, long time to implement. We’d be fighting Hollywood movies the whole time.

"Democrats have hammered the administration over the strikes, deeming them illegal."

Predictably. These goons would have hanged Stephen Decatur,

But what else would we expect from the Party of Hate and Evil, the party of slavery, the Trail of Tears, the ku klux klan, crime, illegal immigration, and open borders, illegal drugs, and human trafficking, including child trafficking?!??

I don’t know how many times I have to share it. This is not about drugs. This is just like the Bush propaganda and we are being played for the fools if we believe it.

Russia announces support for Venezuela to “defend sovereignty” amid growing military tension with the United States:

Must protect the oil platforms off the coast of Guyana that Venezuela is now claiming. Trying to prevent another Kuwait situation.

That’s the real reason for this upcoming war.

You mean like JIATF-South, Pete? No one in the Pentagon told you about JIATF-South?
