“This Is Legally Insane”: New Info Makes the U.S. Drug-Boat Strike Even LESS Defensible

[jmdrake]

I'm sorry. But this is getting ridiculous. This is what we now know from Admiral Bradley's testimony.

1. Hegseth definitely gave a "kill them all" order along with an order to sink the boat.
2. The boat wasn't carrying fentynal. It was (allegedly) carrying cocaine.
3. The boat was HEADED AWAY FROM THE UNITED STATES and most likely destined for SOME OTHER COUNTRY!
4. There was NO FOG OF WAR in that ISR could clearly see the suvivors on boat and the where checking themselves for injuries.
5. The boat was capsized but staying afloat, possible from the cocaine, but was clearly inoperable.
6. There is, of course, no Congressional authorization for any of this which makes the materially different from previous strikes like under Obama where there was at least some oversite.
7. Admiral Bradley claimed there was not a "no quarter" which is an order to kill all enemy combatants even if they are gravely injured or attempt to surrender, which suggest they've admitted the ilegality of what they ultimately did.

The targets werent simply the fentanyl it was the terrorists that use the cocaine and fentanyl as a weapon to overthrow governments in south America and conspire with China to attack and kill Americans by sending cocaine and fentanyl into white neighborhoods in American cities.

Their boat gets blown up and what do they do, they think hey let's get back on the boat that already got blown up once

What did they expect, they basically did it to themselves

According to the Admiral who gave the order there was no evidence of fentanyl and the cocaine was headed AWAY from the United States.

The drugs that they traffic keep ending up eventually into the United States.

People in the United States are the largest purchasers of these drugs by far. Thats because they dont take direct routes to the United States.

They break these large quantities down and traffic them through routes that are controlled by the drug cartels.

The money they make from these drug boats funds the terrorist attacks against governments in south America where they overthrow governments.

They overthrow governments and these countries collapse and millions of people invade United States looking for food and safety because these narco terrorists have destroyed their country.

When these governments collapse China comes in and fills the power vacuum there. They take over and build a hegemony in our back yard that they can use to wage asymmetric war against the United States.

 

[Invisible Man]

The money they make from these drug boats our government's war on drugs funds the terrorist attacks against governments in south America where they overthrow governments.

Fixed.

 

[nikcers]

Fixed.

Thats not true. The war on drugs is largely funded by foreign non government organizations. They are now classified as terrorist organizations.

The funding comes from the supply. Thats how economics works. Basic economics 101. Demand doesn't create funding supply does.

The supply used to be dominated by American drug gangs but now they are largely dominated by the Latin american drug cartels that are designated terrorist organizations.

Thats not true. The war on drugs is largely funded by foreign non government organizations. They are now classified as terrorist organizations.

So you think that the funding of the military strikes Hegseth ordered of these boats came from foreign NGOs?

I agree that whoever funded it is a terrorist organization. But I doubt that's who it was.

Technically all of the funding for the government comes from NGOs lol.

The idea that these specific narco terrorists receive their funding from the supply and that they use that funding to overthrow governments which creates a power vacuum that China will fill and create a hegemony in our backyard to wage asymmetric warfare against the United States isn't a leap of logic.

China doesn't have to declare war to create a hegemony in our backyard.

Not as long as we keep enabling them to do it with our war on drugs they don't.

 

[nikcers]

We dont want to end the war on drugs because that would kill even more people.

You are saying that in order to save the train full of American children on a runaway train heading off the cliff I have to divert the train to a different set of tracks where there are even more people tied to the train tracks with their addiction to drugs.

I can save all of the people by making sure the train doesn't leave the train station in the first place.

 

[Invisible Man]

No it wouldn't. And the jury is not still out on this. We know for sure that the war on drugs leads to more deaths from crime, more deaths from overdoses, more deaths from police, more deaths from military strikes on boats, more destroyed lives from putting people in prison for victimless crimes, and more power and wealth for cartels, as well as for corrupt bureaucrats in our own deep state. We would start seeing immediate improvement in all of those things if we ended the war on drugs.

There aren't the votes in congress to legalize cocaine and fentanyl.

So thats not something that "we the people" want to do.

If you believe that there are the votes in congress to legalize fentanyl and cocaine then show me the proof.

Maybe those people shouldn't be here anyway.
Ever hear of natural selection?

 

[Invisible Man]

There aren't the votes in congress to legalize cocaine and fentanyl.

Then this is Congress's fault. Not China's. Not the Cartels'. The main enemy of the American people in this instance (as in most others) is its own government.

The solution to this problem is not even more government yet.

I have heard of it but we got rid of that when we made murder illegal in our country.

I keep calling congress to legalize murder but they keep sending the police for wellness checks.

Well those folks dying from the drugs are doing it to themselves. They get the Darwin Award.

We have self government in our country. That means we are the government.

We participate in politics and vote for the government we have and consent to it.

We dont like letting people have access to harmful substances because it hurts our country.
