“I wonder how many of these Republicans are on the take from the cartels?”
Probably about the same number who are lining their pockets compliments of big pharma.
LOL! Your cult leader, Randcid, sure picked some losers to hang around with.
It’s the policy I dont like
The intelligence and technology is of course excellent these days but you can’t say it’s 100% it’s not so simple
“The administration wants Maduro gone, and using the drug war as a pretext.”
In other words, they’re perfectly OK with the drugs coming in?
“The intelligence and technology is of course excellent these days but you can’t say it’s 100% it’s not so simple”
Rand said it was 100% possible to claim they are NOT drug boats. How can he say so with such certainty of the intel is not certain??
Our intel is 100% certain on this subject.
You just want to bitch about Trump.
Tell Rand, Mr. No Debt Or No Vote, that his $1 trillion debt this year plan is against his other statements that he wants no debt.
But to link that to blowing up SUSPECTED drug dealers... Hmm
OK then, you should advocate for the death pen. more widely. Trump has actually said he would be in favor of that but I dontt think Congress will sanction it nor have they sanctioned this!
And that is the supreme law making power, not the president
Of course the OTHER OPTION for these boats is to simply stop when ordered, although it’s understandable that they keep going as it’s tough to ditch 1000+ lbs. of coke when drone eyes are watching you.
So really a no-win for them.
If anyone has an idea of how to interdict those boats going 60 or more knots through the ocean or, getting those subs to the surface, let us know. If you have no practical answer, let the Navy do its work without clutching at pearls with no clue how it’s done and acting like RINOs.
I suspect this has nothing to do with drugs. Russia, Iran, Cuba and China have all made serious inroads in South and Central America under the Clinton, Obama, Carter and Biden overwatch. They’ve partnered with communist insurgencies who are basically drug cartels with a political arm. What Trump is doing is a modern Monroe Doctrine with missiles.
By attacking the lynch pin that ties this all together, the drug income, he will force out the current regimes and thus get rid of much of the malign influence of the Evil Actors.
That’s the intent. Whether it works depends on Congress not being the self-interested, political animals they are. Oops. Found the flaw...
They’re not 100% that is impossible!
I dont think they would even conclude “100% “ in their assessments and they’re professionals
They can give a degree of certainty but at the end of the day a grave decision has to be made...
And any officer will be held accountable or can be years later..
Remember this, will you?
“And there could be innocents among them even carrying cargo”
Don’t you think that we have intelligence embedded at the other end to inform which boats are on nefarious missions? Trump and Hegseth aren’t blowing up sh!t willy-nilly.
Rarely opposed Trump other than every time they open their mouths.
You dont KNOW for sure they’re drug boats
The Usual Gang of RINO’S.
Drones have really changed things but we only know what is being briefed
Often government’s lie you know or at least fabricate or cover-up especially when they get it wrong
And this has scope to go wrong. It’s potential murder and thee officers will be held accountable at some point if they do get it wrong
I’m surprised many aren’t refusing to do it these days it’s very risky
“They’re not 100% that is impossible!”
BS. You are really nothing but a liar.
You obviously also have no military or intel experience to say such a stupid thing.
I dont doubt that. They tapped a nascent satellite phone of Escobar’s
So everything is monitored
I just dont think they deserve an instant “death penalty” with no due process, etc.
You’re just throwing around insults (at me, one of your favorite targets)
Even if one innocent is caught up it’s enough and the guy who did it could be in hot water even decades later these days .
Do you not understand this
Following orders is no defense
THEY know, thats what matters. WE May not know…. You know ….because WE are civilians…. But its pretty silly to think the military hasnt vetted the targets.
