Want to find the cartels?
Who is buying outboard motors in bulk?
Questions that misdirect. Right question is : is it effective?
Why do we even have to ask questions??
Just F do it
The drug traffickers are killing Americans with poison. Liberals are more worried about the color
in your breakfast cereal than the drug dealers targeting our sons, daughters, brothers, and sisters.
I would like to know their intended destination,
and who was sitting there waiting for them to arrive.
I suspect the go fast boats aren’t transiting all the way to America. Instead they are meeting larger vessels at sea and transferring their load of poison to any number of destinations.
America is actually protecting the world from scum and villainy.
It’s effective for now. The scum will find another tactic and do will we.

In all 1,570 French cities and towns were bombed by the Allies between June 1940 and May 1945. The total number of civilians killed was, at least, of 68,778 men, women and children (including the 2,700 civilians killed in Royan).
The total number of injured was more than 100,000. The total number of houses completely destroyed by the bombings was 432,000, and the number of partly destroyed houses was 890,000. The cities that saw the most destruction were the following:
Saint-Nazaire (Loire Atlantique): 100%
Tilly-la-Campagne (Calvados): 96%
Calais (Pas-de-Calais) : 95%
Vire (Calvados): 95%
Royan (Charente-Maritime): 95% [3]
Le Portel (Pas-de-Calais) : 94%
Dunkerque (Nord) : 90%
Villers-Bocage (Calvados): 88%
Boulogne-sur-Mer (Pas-de-Calais) : 85%
Le Havre (Seine-Maritime): 82%
Beauvais (Oise) : 80%
Lorient (Morbihan) : 80 %
Brest (Finistère) : 80 %
Saint-Lô (Manche): 77%
Falaise (Calvados): 76%
Lisieux (Calvados): 75%
The bombings in Normandy before and after D-Day were especially devastating. The French historian Henri Amouroux in La Grande histoire des Français sous l’Occupation, says that 20,000 civilians were killed in Calvados department, 10,000 in Seine-Maritime, 14,800 in the Manche, 4,200 in the Orne, around 3,000 in the Eure. All together, that makes more than 50,000 killed.

On May 27, 1943, Allied bombings killed 3,012 French civilians in bomb runs over Marseille, Avignon, Nîmes, Amiens, Sartrouville, Maisons-Laffitte and Eauplet.
I have lost 2 neighbors to illegal drugs on my street alone.

Is it smart? Does disrupting these particular boats and networks actually reduce the flow of deadly drugs into American cities, or does it simply scatter the traffickers to new routes and methods? Do we have good intelligence, practicable rules of engagement, and a realistic theory of how this contributes to an overall strategy? Or are we just generating dramatic footage at long-term expense?
Each of these boats were loaded with huge quantities of drugs so, yes, it greatly reduces the flow. The fact that 83 boats have been sunk so far demonstrates unequivocally that they haven't "scattered to new routes" yet. When they do actions can be taken on those routes.
Is it just? Are we inflicting a level of collateral damage that we would condemn if the roles were reversed? Justice toward individuals—both the American overdose victims and the people on (or near) those boats—demands more than moral intuition; it demands rigorous standards we can defend in daylight.
No, there is no collateral damage. The men on the boats are narco-traffickers by definition. There are no other people near a boat traveling 70 mph on the open water. American overdose victims are not affected by drugs that never make it to our shores or the deaths of narco-traffickers. They overdosed on drugs that made it through.
Is it in the lasting interest of the American people? Short-term tactical wins are easy to cheer, but do these operations strengthen or weaken broader U.S. goals—stabilizing the hemisphere, deterring China and Iran (who back Maduro), protecting sea lanes, and preserving America’s reputation as a country that is on the side of justice, peace, and freedom? Impulses are not the same as “our interest, guided by justice,” which, as George Washington taught us, should be our lodestars in navigating peace and war.
Strong military actions against objective threats to national security absolutely add a deterrent factor for hostile state actors such as Iran, China and Venezuela as well as any other states contemplating harmful action towards the U.S. anywhere in the world. They would be fools to come to any other conclusion.
This professor has lived in his own head for so long that he can't see anything beyond the lint in his own navel. In that bubble he's living in he's a genius. In the rest of the world he is an imbecile.
“On July 2, 1915, an explosion rocked the US Capitol building. The next day, John Pierpont Morgan Jr., the richest man in America, was shot by an intruder who was caught and taken into custody.”
I have nothing good to say for drug dealers - if I could, I would revive the declaration of outlawry for them and let the chips fall where they may.
But drug dealers are rich because they have customers. And if your sons or daughters are buying fentanyl, with or without xylazine, or methamphetamine, you have problems closer to home that have nothing to do with "drug dealers".
My mistake. There have been 83 traffickers killed not 83 boats sunk.
I think my point still stands though. They haven’t stopped trying to get boats through yet.
Could be they’re hooking up with cruise ship crew or staff in ports.
I don’t think you read the article and what he was really saying. Instead of slowly digesting you hastily picked the words that went against your line of belief and blasted the writer.
Reread the article and this time slowly.
