Trump says if Hamas doesn’t disarm then the US will disarm them. - Congratulations, everyone.

You & I have both seen LE after big drug busts. They lay out the weapons, the names, the drugs, the indictments out on an actual table. We don’t see that here.

However you did raise it. I agree it has no role here.

Also, how do you know Americans or even sex trafficking victims weren’t on these ships? We have no idea who they’re getting.

Iirc he got the son of an *actual terrorist in collateral damage one time. Israel just killed three American citizens including a mother & 2 children just a few weeks ago.

That’s a good point. No doubt our Taiwanese & Ukrainian allies are watching us dump expensive missiles into the drink going WTF.

Ok let’s see, a few million vehicles & ships carrying drugs, & Tomahawks at 20 mill a pop. Sure.

I think you’re thinking Apaches. Maybe you mean Sierra Madre with Bogart.

Hell of a lot more than 5. A lot of them use US vehicles & Americans right through the border crossings.

Sure I have. From Stagecoach on.

Yes, we saw what the world stage thought at the UN.

Here’s a thought - drug traffickers often do human trafficking too. Any victims on board?

I’m not sure what you mean but those missiles likely cost a few million each when a Coast Guard ship will handle that on fumes, which is their job. This way we get no data, no evidence, no witnesses, no nothing. If they’re really drug dealers (if) it’s a total waste.

We’ve always been the Gary Cooper, the John Wayne. Right now we’re Lee Van Cleef & Jack Elam riding around the town drunk & shooting at things.

Yeah, figuratively. This is actual war with Venezuela.

It’s in international waters for one thing. For another, usually in drug busts in the US law enforcement lays out the drugs & weapons for the press. We’re seeing none of that here. Venezuela is well within its right to retaliate but no doubt that is what Trump is trying to provoke here.

I get it. And that’s why the US went to war when its ships were attacked in 1918, 1812 & 1801.

The trial will be interesting because we haven’t heard so much as a blip about the investigation. The reporting on Crooks also disappeared.

The US is violating international war & committing acts of war against Venezuela. There is no authorization or Declaration of War either, so it’s also unconstitutional. The US itself went to war twice on the basis of this sort of thing being done to us,

I’m lost in the sense I’m not sure what you’re referring to. The video Jon posted is from 8/19/17.

I was just referring you to non-journalism reports by Republicans with named sources in them.

Yeah it goes on far too much. Watch a European news broadcast some time, they don’t brook this crap. Just us.

The audio is recorded by the FBI. He was just asking Vance if he agrees he took it. Instead of answering he blamed the journalist for reporting on it.

It’s street violence from 8 years ago. Terrorists are global organizations engaged in warfare with nations. I gave you an attempt by islamists to foment a military attack across 2 NATO nations from the past month & your example is street fighting in Charlottesville from 8 years ago, against btw actual neonazis. ETA, also there? Neonazis. Actual (& I’m sure you’ll agree) FASCISTS. It’s kind of a headscratcher that the people in that confrontation in that video we’re supposed to be worried about are not the actual fascists (hint, it’s a thread about fascism), but the people who went out to oppose them.

You posted the 2017 CNN piece, thats where that came from.
