Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday defended the White House’s decision to strike Venezuelan boats, hinting that President Donald Trump may even “expand” military operations in the region.
In an interview with CBS’ Margaret Brennan on “Face the Nation,” the South Carolina Republican said Trump is “doing the right thing.”

Got to have people to kill so the Defense contractors can get money to gear up for the war with Russia.
The Ukraine is getting tapped out.
The cartels with help from China are behind a lot, and they will try to harm agents as well as officials such as the president.
This drug war is essential. This is a real war, not just a name for arresting small time dealers and users.
:: This is a real war ::
Also keep in mind that INTEL on the ground in VZ is confirming all these “splashes” in international waters.
I seem to recall an American leader who declared war on pirates operating in international water.
They were “splashed”, too.
And floated up on the shores of Tripoli.
Whether they were actively trying to overtake another nation’s ship or not.
The action protected \international\ trade.
I don’t hear other nations -complaining- about these interdictions.
There is little net difference between the drug boats and a boat loaded with bio-weapons piloted by what we would consider terrorists.
der knocken brucher!
(the bone crusher)
The only ones complaining are the liberdopians from KY and their cult followers.
Jefferson?
hit the poppy fields everywhere
then hit the manufacturing facilities
then hit the leadership
Ask him tomorrow. He may change his mind.

Is there anything that we do nowadays that doesn’t make things 10x worse?
My heart hurts for our VETS that fought in the Mid East only to have this country prop up Jolani in Syria? It’s unfatholmable
Linda is drooling with John Bolton…
Maybe we should be focused on the illegal ‘Chinese’ drug farms here in the US? Maybe you’re being sold a bill of goods that doesn’t conform to reality.
Loose lips sink ships.
“We built up China to counter the Soviet Union”
We also built up Osama Bin Laden.
“I don’t hear other nations -complaining- about these interdictions.”
GREAT POINT - If Trump were wasting away people out on a pleasure cruise, I would expect some complaints. But no complaints (other than the Kentucky Twins)...hmmm.
