The left in America has no interest in being "civilized" whatsoever. Quite the contrary really. The scary part is that those animals run the scenes around the Beltway bureaucracy. They just install Trump Bumps at every inch, waiting him out and have the clerks for every federal judge on speed dial.

Every inch Trump advances requires ten injunctions, tens of wasted millions, and is flanked on every side with leftist bureaucrats in Fox holes running a command and control counterintelligence game against him.

He’s not ignorant of law, so he’s lying.

Persons who engage in war while in civilian garb, not in the uniform of a nation, are unlawful combatants and not only may be killed but also are not afforded the privileges of prisoners of war.

People who with the blessing and sanction of their government conduct systematic large-scale drug trafficking are not committing a simple crime but warfare. (The position might be different if the governments of Venezuela or Mexico actually worked to stifle drug warfare, rather than being vassals OF the cartels.)

In short, we may kill them, and should any survive, they may be upon capture tried by a military tribunal rather than the slow grind of a U.S. civilian trial.

This isn’t the law itself but is a nice summary of the subject citing all relevant laws and the history behind them.

I am personally chagrined that privateering is outlawed. One could use such against such extranational horrors such as Soros, WEF, etc.

Civilized people aren’t gang members and drug dealers.

Our youth are just as dead from foreign chemicals as if killed by foreign guns.

Simply because the killing of our youth is profitable doesn’t lessen its harm.

The FAKE OPPOSITION.

All talk and no action.

Trump is shutting down the cash flow that’s propping up the Deep State and Demonrat organization.

City by city is run by politicians funded by the cartels - Biden being the chief of them as he was the bagman for Obama.

Cash and drugs being blown up.

Seize their assets.

Kill them.

Burn them down.

We neeed to go into Mexico next and get them there - narco state.

Chicago is a narco state as well.

Before the next election for POTUS look for massive arrests and indictments.

If they go out of the country to do this, just execute them there.

Trump is a MODERATE.

We need to think next level on all this.

KILL THEM. Destroy them. Grab their money. Put them and their children in prison.

Rand Paul = no balls fake opposition do nothing loser.
As is his son.

The man is a fool. He needs to remember the maxim:

Those who do not respect civilization ultimately lose its protections.

If “civilized people” had removed Fidel Castro early on, the world would be a very different place.

Russia, China, Iran, Cuba are, or have, supported the takeover of Venezuela by Maduro.

We are not the world’s police force. That said, something needs to change in Venezuela before missiles are launched. All it takes is a few Hezbollah and Hamas types to launch.

I’ve been patient with Rand Paul, but this crosses the line. At what point did self defense become “uncivilized,” Rand Paul??? How about you shut it.

“With known drug smugglers, Shoot first. Ask questions later.”
Exactly! These individuals would gut Rand’s wife and children right in front of him. The best solution with individuals like this is to put them down like rabid dogs.

“Terror network headed by Osama bin Laden has tried to develop high-strength form of heroin that it planned to export to United States and Western Europe, according to United States intelligence reports; plan was supposedly in retaliation for US missile attack against terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, and provides rare link between Al Qaeda and drugs”

https://www.nytimes.com/2001/10/04/world/a-nation-challenged-drugs-super-heroin-was-planned-by-bin-laden-reports-say.html

Wars can be fought with more than spears, bows & arrows, and guns.

In WWI, war was fought using chemicals as well as with guns.

Sorry, Rand. But people who want to save their civilizations from imported murder drugs do take action.
You’re simply wrong about this.
When you’re right, you’re right. When you’re wrong, you’re wrong. Really wrong in this case. Just try visiting our major cities and walk over the bodies

It’s obvious that Rand Paul has never practiced medicine long enough to see what psycho-savage drug cartel members do to people who get in their way or happen to talk to police. He’d see that they are butchers who deserve nothing but death.
Rand Paul is a curly headed asshat who wants to run for president.
Are you using any narco drugs, Rand?
You’ve had some awful weird shit happen to you:

Rand Paul is basically a useless politician.

Think’s he’s a world leader or something.

How are Kentucky’s roads, schools, hospitals, job base, and emergency services?

Vote him out, he’s too dogmatic about his theories.

> What was Neville trying to do, challenge Adolf to a fencing duel? <

“Peace in our time,” Neville said. Adolf will behave. He promised.

Pity that Churchill wasn’t in charge at the time. So much death and destruction would have been avoided.

I assume that the president has intelligence indicating that those are in fact drug carrying boats, and it is justifiable to destroy them.

A lot of times I like Rand Paul. But I think he’s wrong on this.

Obama’s disposal of drug kingpin and murderer Osama Bin Laden still rates an A+ in my book.
