Drug cartels are evil and I don't think anyone except those that benefit from them would say otherwise. But at the same time the US just conducted a military strike on civilians of a foreign country. And what proof does the world have that they actually were drug smugglers besides the US saying "trust me bro"? To me this sounds like an excuse to bomb whoever the fuck they want and just say it was the bad guys after the fact.
Just like Putin says that they are only killing Nazis in Ukraine when they bomb apartment buildings.
Just like Israel is saying that they are only killing Hamas when they bomb schools and hospitals.
Even if this is accurate, is drug smuggling worth killing over?
We know it's not about the drugs. According to this administration any brown person is not worth considering period. I mean come on, does anyone truly think that the Trump family is not fully coke'd up? Drugs is just a thin pretense that plays to more moderate racists in MAGA.
The question is valid but they're not killing the ones responsible. There's a 99% chance the vessel is manned by a poor replaceable schmuck who's only in it because of desperation and/or greed. There are probably thousands like him that will gladly attempt the job again
Of course not. They are the ones responsible for it. They just pretend they are not as an excuse to go after minorities. The drugs come from the white man to destroy the minorities in any way they can. The war on drugs was never about the drugs, it was about the people of non white complexions.
Yes. Drug smugglers are inhuman monsters, like Muslims or Tankies or the homeless. You need to hit them fast and hard. Really go in Shock and Awe style.
As Thomas Jefferson once said, the Tree of Liberty must be watered with the blood of our enemies from time to time.
Why? Was the vessel carrying a copy of the Epstein Files?
In 2023, following his first presidency, Trump lamented at a rally that the US had to purchase oil from Venezuela, saying that if he were in charge, “We would have taken [Venezuela] over; we would have gotten to all that oil; it would have been right next door.”
According to Responsible Statecraft, lobbying groups in bed with Exxon Mobil have been leading the campaign for “maximum pressure” against Venezuela, with the goal of protecting the company’s control of over 11 billion barrels of oil in neighboring Guyana, which has been referred to as a “petrostate” closely aligned with the oil giant.
So a couple of brown skin folks out fishing? Got it!
so this is trump falklands?
The little magats will clap for it too I’m sure
Doing Gaza in the Caribbean.
Just pick something in line of fire and blow it up. Then tell everyone that it was ~~Hamas~~ Drug Cartels. And if they investigate? Blow up the journalist and say they were Drug Cartels, too.
