Did anyone ask the op if he demanded a meeting with Obama when he drone striked two people? 

In fact, not only was it two people, it was two American citizens.  

Anyone recall the op being fake outraged about that? Talking about it? Being concerned? Starting a thread over it?

Yeah, didn't think so.

United States officially designated the Venezuelan criminal organization Tren de Aragua as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) on February 20, 2025. This designation was made by the U.S. Department of State, which also labeled the group as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist (SDGT). 

Educate yourself so you don't sound so foking stupid all the time.  

This doesn’t answer the question idiot.  Have they offered evidence that the people in the boat were part of Tren de Aragua?

Translated excerpt:

The Minister of the Interior and Justice, and the second-in-command of the Chavista regime, Diosdado Cabello…also expressed skepticism about the U.S. version of events:

“At first they said it was a ship, not that little boat they found,” he said. “They immediately aligned themselves with the version that was sold. Many doubts have arisen, many unanswered questions. Where’s the gasoline on that boat? We’ve intercepted a lot of drug trafficking—those boats always have more barrels of fuel than drugs so they don’t get stranded at sea. You don’t see any gasoline here. Eleven people don’t fit in that little boat. And no one is calling it out.”

“When you’re going to tell a lie, you have to get the details right,” Cabello said. “If the United States really wants to combat drug trafficking, it should focus on the Pacific, where 87 percent of the drug flow exits,” he argued. “All of this is fabricated. There’s an agenda—get rid of the Bolivarian revolution by any means, with a fake, to produce regime change.”

For the Chavista leader, the stories linking Maduro’s government to the Tren de Aragua or the Cartel of the Suns are nothing more than “Netflix stories.”

Concretely, Communication Minister Freddy Ñañez said in a Telegram channel that "it seems" Secretary of State Marco Rubio "keeps lying to his president."

"After getting him between a rock and a hard place, now he gives him an AI video as 'proof,'" Ñañez added. "Marco Rubio, stop trying to encourage a war and trying to stain President Donald Trump's hands. Venezuela doesn't pose a threat."

If you don't support the military patrolling our streets then you are pro crime.

If you don't support the military attacking civilian boats you're pro drugs.

When does it end?

If you don't support the military annexing other countries you hate America.

If you don't support giving up your rights to the government than you deserve to die.

Random. It wasn’t random. Please look the meaning up. Venezuela has been doing a lot of harm to our country. Finally someone is getting in their face about it and you weep for them.   You’re one of Maduros useful idiots.

If it wasn't random then I would expect the pentagon to have the names of those killed with a background on each and justification for the killing.  We aren't gonna get that.

I'll answer for Tiny since he always runs away and hides after saying something stupid. 

Estimates are somewhere between 3,800 and 5,000 terrorists killed and hundreds of civilians in Obama's drone war.  We certainly don't know all their names or exactly what they they did.  

One of Obama's best accomplishments imo.  That and building more border wall than any other president.  Good stuff until Trump does it.

These guys had no issues with Biden's disastrous exit from Afghanistan that got a bunch of Americans killed.   They didnt 2nd guess that at all.  But Trump tries to address the drug problems Biden allowed to run rampant and he's a murderer.  It's comical.

And there were press releases for each one like this https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2018/6/15/pakistan-taliban-chief-mullah-fazlullah-killed-in-drone-attack

There were also lots of civilians killed and that was wrong.  I'm not going to defend Obama's drone strikes.  Not sure why you would use them as justification for what Trump appears to be now doing considering he's trying to get a nobel peace prize.

So not only is the American left trying to protect and keep their illegal Mexican slaves, they're now defending drug cartels and members.  They're doing the same thing with Hamas too.

Unf'nbelievable.  What's next?  Can it get any worse for them?
