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

[nikcers]

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

Well those drug boats are getting the Darwin award.

I like to call it the Jules Winnfield award.

"The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the father of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee."

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.

Is Clorox a harmful substance? Maybe it should be outlawed too.

If its used as a weapon then we will go after the criminals using it as a weapon.

That is a myth.

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

Not all of them. Not this shipment. It's retarded for you to argue otherwise.

People in the United States are the largest purchasers of these drugs by far.

So?

Thats because they dont take direct routes to the United States.

Yeah they do. Drugs bound for the U.S. typically go through Mexico. TRUMP'S OWN DEA SAYS THE FENTYNAL IS COMING FROM MEXICO!

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

They do not send drugs bound to the U.S. through Suriname. And again TRUMP'S ON ADMIRAL DISPUTES YOUR STUPIDITY!

Trump's Admiral did not say that these designated terrorists organizations do not send drugs to American cities.

If you can find proof that he said that the terrorist groups that the Trump administration has designated as designated terrorist organizations have not sent drugs into the United States then prove it.

These groups arent limited to one country they are non government terrorist organizations.

They operate throughout the region in many different countries and he is hitting them hard.

 

[jmdrake]

Trump's Admiral did not say that these designated terrorists organizations do not send drugs to American cities.

He said this particular boat was not headed to America moron. And his own DEA's website says fentynal comes through Mexico, not Venezuela.

https://www.dea.gov/state-and-local-task-force#:~:text=The%20DEA%20is%20actively%20targeting,the%20Sinaloa%20and%20Jalisco%20Cartels.

The DEA is actively targeting every single aspect of the global fentanyl supply chain so that we can put an end to the most devastating drug crisis that our country has ever seen. Nearly all of the fentanyl in the United States comes from Mexico, and most of it is trafficked by the Sinaloa and Jalisco Cartels.

https://usafacts.org/articles/are-fentanyl-overdose-deaths-rising-in-the-us/

Fentanyl was involved in 69% of drug overdose deaths in 2023.​

So it's ridiculous to murder suspected Venezuelan drug smugglers to stop drug overdoses when that't not where the fentynal comes from.

 

[nikcers]

He said this particular boat was not headed to America moron.

It doesn't matter where that boat was headed what matters is that they are part of the narco terrorist organization so they were a high value target.

 

[jmdrake]

It doesn't matter where that boat was headed what matters is that they are part of the narco terrorist organization so they were a high value target.

Nope.

 

[nikcers]

Nope.

Yeah but thats what it is.

The organizations designated are:

Cártel de Sinaloa

Cártel de Jalisco Nueva Generación (CJNG)

Cártel del Noreste (CDN) (formerly Los Zetas)

La Nueva Familia Michoacana

Cártel del Golfo (Gulf Cartel)
Cárteles Unidos

Tren de Aragua (TdA) (a transnational organization that originated in Venezuela)

Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) (a transnational organization with roots in Los Angeles and Central America)

Cartel de los Soles (a Venezuelan criminal group allegedly run by the Maduro regime)

The official designations were announced by the U.S. Department of State in February and November of 2025.

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

it was suicide

i dont see any of it really as defensible but not for at least two of reasons listed . makes no diff if cocaine appears heeded to another country because most of it is staged for shipment here from another country s id strike that. also i never noticed any oversight of obama and biden admins so id strike that. otherwise seems about right

According to the undisputed testimony so far the final destination was not the U.S. As for the congressional authorization and the oversight, Trump skipping that takes us one step closer to total despotism. We're that much closer to a country where a President can unilaterally declare any group "terrorists" and just kill them all without any due process.

You're all focusing on how they did it. The right questions are why and why now?

Are we really any closer now than we were in 1953?

Iran (1953)
Guatemala (1954)
Democratic Republic of the Congo (1960)
Dominican Republic (1961)
South Vietnam (1963)
Brazil (1964)
Indonesia (1965)
Chile (1973)
Afghanistan (2001)
Iraq (2003)
Haiti (2004)
Libya (2011)

Over 393 military interventions in other nations since 1776, with over 200 since 1945.

64 covert and 6 overt attempts at regime change during the Cold War.

Only 11 declarations of war.

This is only the public record. Can you imagine how many there are that are classified?

 

[nikcers]

National interests are why.

That region of the world is currently threatening the USA's economic interests because of their economic and military ties to adversarial governments.

It is threatening the balance of power in the world and giving China a foothold in the region would make our entire military defenseless from attacks.

We lose every single potential conflict if they hold that region.

Why now?

Because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

Ya I think we are way past that, the killing of whoever whenever and probably have been for several administrations. I don't see it as a good thing

There were 64 regime change operations by the US from 1947-1989.
So, it's likely over 100 by now.
