Ask questions, read the links.  Provide a link from a retired Air Force Brig. General saying the actions are legal.  You dismiss the general because he was quoted on Newsmax.  I disagreed with your take & Bingo--------hatred & vitriol.  Yea I also must be lacking for "clearly" not know how bringing charges work.  Maybe enlighten us all on how that works.  Guess I shouldn't be surprised.   

Happy trails.

Anybody who simply takes the word of a partisan pontificator instead of reading the actual legal document isn’t interested in challenging their mind.

He called the guys in the boats “combatants,” lol.   I guess we’re taking pointers from Netanyahu now.

Correct.  Which is also why any claims from the admin that “narcoterrorists” are “attacking” Americans is nonsense.

Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets

Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

No shitt Moron. They transfer the drugs from boat to boat to avoid detection. 

[Maximum Overkill 2,578]

There is one person who can never face any accountability for the killing of people clinging to an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean in September.

That person is Donald Trump, who as US president was granted broad immunity for official acts by the Supreme Court last year while he is in office.

From there, things get tangled in a complicated bramble of military, civilian and international law.

Biden's politburo set the precedent of using the legal system to go after political opponents, then pardoning everyone in their orbit on the way out the door. Since the Dems love lawfare so much, Trump ought to do the same as a precaution. This'll make for a fun new tradition like gerrymandering up the wazoo, college football's transfer portal and Tranny Day of Cultural Conquest replacing Easter.

"Trump only goes after the little guy whose family is being held hostage. He never goes after the king pins."

When has any politician before Trump done anything significant about drugs coming into the country?

Depends on what drugs. I refuse to act like they are all the same. They aren’t.

Well yeah the people who pretended like there was a war on drugs were working both sides of it. If they wanted to they could have shut it down. They wanted the drugs coming in.

South American and Mexican cartels shipping drugs into the country is terrible. There is no benefit to this country.

This Campo guy worked in the DEA since the 90s. Did he launder $ for that Honduran drug and gun runner who just got a pardon?

45/47 gets caught in yet another episode of rank corruption. And right on cue we get “OBAMA!’ conspiracy theories.

Also, wasn’t it the current prez who was exposed as “blowing Bubba?”  Speaking of which, where are the Epstein files at?

Sorry not worth it.

It's not about the drugs.  There was a time where Republicans advocated for personal responsibility.  Getting clean and sober is just that.

I would not murder the drug dealer on the corner to help my kid get off drugs.  I would get my kid help.  Besides there will always be someone else on the corner.

It's not about the drugs, stupid.

Is this STILL a thing?   My God.   Does anyone really care?  I mean except liberals?  The things the media and the left focus on.  No one gives a real crap.  They care about their lives, their ability to afford things, their ability to provide for their families.  In the big scheme of things this is just a waste of time.

But oh yeah I forgot  GET TRUMP!!

Well technically this is going to help us afford things after we control Venezuela’s oil.   But we should just say that and not pretend it’s about drugs.
