Given what’s known about drug cartels, their behavior, the nations they control just to our south, and how many Americans have been killed by their products, why would anyone be against using the military to fight them? Especially as opposed to the DEA and CIA after all this time?
A consistent ratio for the true pandemic [willful] victims vs. the immune.
I’ve never been a video game guy.
Does anyone know if there are new games out of smashing the drug cartel boats?
And, the Dems were all in on using the US military to combat the drug cartels...when they were in power.
The war on drugs damaging America, needs soldiers. Especially since its a tactic adopted by other countries to damage us through drugs their cartels produce. It will be great practice and skill enhancement.
If there are any survivors from the boat strikes, it just means we need to use bigger bombs! There, problem fixed.
Well, 1st you have to look at how many people are substance abusers. Estimates are ~16-17% of the population.
Still, I’d have hoped this would be more like 70/30...
:-(
Nope.
This war on drugs uses advanced US bombers that the drag traffickers have no idea where the super bombers are or are coming from.
All they usually see is a quick death when they are blown to pieces.
Yup.
Or more deadly bombs.
Pershing was not wrong....
This’ll make CandyRandpaul cry again, won’t it
Now do leftwing district judges...
I’m all for killing these drug runners, and targeting cartel leaders, manufacturing, logistics, etc. But Venezuela isn’t a significant player in fentanyl, the drug that is killing so many thousands of Americans. Most fentanyl is produced in Mexico from Chinese precursors. Venezuela is about the Trump Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine, and the boat crews are collateral damage.
Does any one know what weapons are being used,
and what platform they are being launched from
to accomplish this amazing task?
Ok, pilots... (armed forces)
Is there, has there been, a declared war on drugs?
I am starting to think that the (D)naysayers are really worried over their supply drying up.
That and cartel bribe money drying up. Or fear of the cartels for not delivering what the cartels paid them for. Look at Sheinbaum in Mexico. Why else would they be so protective of criminals? It’s not for votes like the illegals when it comes to drug dealers and smugglers.
Who the hell is against getting rid of the cartel from the country??
