My actual point: the US will always be buying so it will always be worth it to everyone south of Juarez to make it & ship it.

It would be nice to make a serious point here. My guess is Maduro *is involved in drug running, & it would be nice & a really cool justification for attacking these ships if they proved some tie-in. But this administration isn’t doing that.

1. Of course. We’re the richest nation in the planet. I’ve got a secret for you: we buy the drugs & we’re the reason they make it. We also make the guns that make growing, shipping & selling the drugs possible. In fact we make it as easy as possible for these SOBs to get guns to sell us drugs. 2. Pfft, absolutely not. International waters are protected for international shipping. Guess whose idea that was? Yep, ours. It’s why we have every legal right to bomb the hell out of Yemen when their rebels hit our ships in open waters. Etc.

You will drive me to an early beer with this kind of talk.

Sigh, I wish New Orleans would do this. Hap Glaudi & Buddy D deserve theirs for sure.

I’d rather the FBI & DHS do it’s work, which is far more effective & legal.

Make America Baghdad, yall.

Yes, that’s what we do in America, name monuments, towns & places after our leader.

Statement time. Ok. This is probably consolidating popular support around Maduro & isn’t doing a damn thing to stanch the flow of drugs. The FBI has dismantled its unit fighting transnational organized crime. They’re basically running free right now.

It’s confusing, there were 3 cases, the father, a niece & a grand niece. Apparently the EDVA &/or grand jury refused all 3 cases. Halligan took another run with another grand jury in another city (?) with the grand niece. A lot of throwing of spaghetti from a moving car.

Coast Guard, ATF, DEA, FBI, when they enter our waters, or coordinate with the foreign nation whose waters they enter. Jefferson Parish has certainly seen its share of drug busts off Grand Isie & Barataria Bay, our LE isn’t shy about bragging about it either. They lay it out on TV.

Jon all I did was give you an example of actual classic terrorism from *this month, & I asked you to give me a comp from antifa and you presented an example from 2017 where anarchists organized to fight Nazis who are actual - & I’m sure you will agree - fascists. And I’m told in a thread about fascism that the government should be controlling the people who showed up to fight actual fascists but not the fascists. But I’m glad to reset. Is there another example of actual ‘terrorism’ of the sort we’ve been at actual war with since the 90s?

ESAC, think about this: we know exactly how Awlaki died - who we were going after, the actual name of the terrorist, his terror org, & the AUMF legal authority we were acting under. Ok, in any of these 5 strikes what is the name of one person we were targeting?

Uh I’m almost certain I supported it. We were involved in a global war against terror and were attacking Al Qaeda / ISIS.

No, this is the military doing law enforcement work.

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.
