Some journalists think they’re being clever when they’re really being stupid, and they probably think they’re due for a raise. I’ll give you a raise...Bend over!
When ya get right down to it, there are no laws on the open seas. No nation claims them or can enforce their nation’s laws on them. It is merely Might is Right.
Once those drug boats leave their territorial waters they are subject to Might is Right.
The whole “interdiction” thing is retarded.
The ocean is a BIG place - it take lot’s of technology to find these tiny specs on the ocean that are moving at 30+ knots. Getting another boat out there to stop and capture them is logistically near impossible.
But getting a military jet with Hellfire’s loaded is very doable.
Oh and regarding that tanker we seized - well that is a big slow boat, easy to track, then go out and grab it.
The headline is over the top. Really sick of over-dramatic terms like “bombshell” and “mic drop.”
That said, the video is most definitely worth watching (2 min 9 sec, I think) because of what Eric Schmitt explains so clearly.
Does everyone at DNCNN have a British Accent?
I don’t care about Conservatives winning verbal exchanges
We are in a goddamn war, and people think these little exchanges mean something, they mean NOTHING!!!!!!!
Start winning legislative and legal battles. But Republicans won’t work that hard.
These little wins will mean not a goddamn thing when we are in chains
Putting a reporter in their place is a garbage win
Time to start calling deadly drugs “ WMD” and these delivery guys employed by the world’s most ruthless killers “ WMD smugglers”
Using women as “media” reporters is a huge waste of meat.
“Fishing boats.” ROTFL!!! Now that’s funny. That’s funny right there, Karen. I don’t care who you are.
Somebody should remind the ditz that the Trump admin, not the Bidenskyyy side show in in office now. Trump is not going to waste expensive missiles blowing up “Venezuelan fishing boats” loaded with “shipwrecked sailors” and no fish. That’s a DemonRAT male, Road Kill Taco Señator’s wet dream.
Yes, ‘umble Venezualen fisherman use open ‘cigarette’ speedboats with dual 350 HP motors. It’s risible.
The democrats and their MSM have had their way so long, pre-internet, that they think they can still sell malarkey.
Maybe a case where she knows if she gets into the details, she can’t deny the facts. But if she stays away from the facts then she can present herself as innocent. She has no idea how clueless she appears because she is not trying to get to the truth, she just wants to validate her hand picked talking points. Some reporters seem like if they say the facts their hair might catch on fire!
Did she really want the US to sink a tanker full of oil ?
Fishing boats cruising at 30+ knots powered by four or five high powered outboard engines without any fishing gear and flying no flag of country of origin as required by international law of the sea. I’m certain they were delivering Christmas fruitcakes and toys for orphans to people living on remote islands someplace.
