I just had that recommended to me by some friends we’re with for a weekend event. Worthwhile?

“...The GOPe is working hard to make sure you get one...”

Any of these communist basstids that try to replace him should be singled out and replaced themselves. He’s everything they aren’t: He’s toxic to them...they can’t stand it. He’s a full, red-blooded American patriot that loves his country and will do what’s necessary to protect it. Them?...spit...not so much. Low-life scumbag politicians that hate America and her People...useless as teats on a boar hog.

USCG operates under DHS, not under DOW control. Probably different rules of engagement in place for USCG on interception of boats at sea. USCG might not have the assets to take out a boat like those under Hegseth’s control.

These boats need to fly the CIA flag if they want to get their shipments through safely.

Why don’t we follow the drug boats then take out the people and facilities that are receiving the drugs?

I think it boiled down to the drugs being in an area of USCG responsibility. It’s not likely that they’d be allowed to patrol the interface of Venezuelan and international waters.

is there any evidence this was a drug-running boat?

It wasn't running. It was motoring.

So calling it a drug-running boat is false.

According to "snopes" logic ...

Maybe Rand is lining his pockets with drug money?

I bet there was a lot of running (down the legs) when the Coastie opened fire on their engines!

Think of the skills required to hit a fast moving outboard engine while it’s bouncing away on the waves, from a shaking shuddering helicopter buffeting the the wind...

Although this was USCG I’m sure its no different, I worked in the DoD for over 30 years directly attached to the US Navy warfighter, and I can assure you, if they decided to ban all acronyms the Navy would come to an immediate screeching halt! Lol!

-
As a matter of fact it got so bad, acronyms began to overlap one another by meaning more than one thing, which meant if you used an acronym with more than one meaning you had to explain which one you were talking about.

Kinda defeats the whole purpose of using acronyms dontcha think? Lol!

You have just been given a small glimpse into what it’s REALLY like to be a federal civil servant.

The acronym thing was one of many indications it was time for me to retire.

True story my friend......every word. 🙂

Looks like the shooter was using a .50BMG rifle. Serious skills.

And the smugglers probably shat themselves when a US helo showed up.

Now these perps can be taken interrogated, learned about their sources and take further steps as necessary.

How many should be captured for interrogation? The burden is on the U.S. now to lock these dirtbags up for years because their home countries can't be trusted to lock them up.

The Chinese are jealous. They wish they could have done the same with opium in the 1800s.

To be more accurate, the Chinese are mad as hell: they got drugged out in the 1800s, and now they’ve been trying to repay the West, but we aren’t gonna take it no more.

I wonder if all this interdiction is going to show up in street availability/price?
