Time Hegseth to hit the bottle again.

They had NO way of knowing--none, zip, nada--who was on that boat or what the boat was carrying. So the Pentagon story is that you get to murder people as long as you call them narco-terrorists.


Hmm, so you don't think we have CIA assets on the ground or informants?  The USA has no clue what's going on in South America over the last 100 years?

 

My take is its just a small part of a stupid regime change operation to pressure the government into stepping down and also has to do with Margarita Island where Hezhbollah has been operating for decades with the cartels.  Those on the boats are probably forced by the cartels to operate and move people and drugs, probably just fishermen without a choice.

 

I'm tired of decades of regime change and foreign conflicts, and I think this is another load of horse crap for oil and regime change, as they all have been.

Aaron, It's about stealing their oil and enriching Trump and his pals nothing more. A lot of those boats they blew up didn't even have the range to make it to the US. 

You should be the first one to volunteer to serve in Venezuela since your vote helped make this possible.

  The ONLY thing laughable is, in spite of visual evidence of what was in the boats, you persist in defending the illegal importation of the very drugs that are killing thousands of Americans. Stopping this form of transportation of these drugs is proper and justified. You, being a misguided liberal fool, know nothing about the chain of command and you also have no respect for the laws that govern these actions. What the Admiral did and what Hegseth said about what happened were/are correct. 


What visual evidence?

 

And even if the boats had been crammed full of drugs, what gave Trump the power to murder everyone in international waters? What law? What authority?

Do we have CIA assets there? Of course.

 

Did we know the identity of everyone aboard those boats who was murdered? Do we know that they were radical liberal liberal radical woke woke woke woke woke narco-terrorists belch grunt snort, to directly quote Cat Eater?

 

Because there should be a kinda sorta high standard of proof for extrajudicial murders, don'tcha think, even if they ARE somehow "justified"? Why would you defend that shit?

 

Let's say that everyone blown up was indeed smuggling drugs. Let's ignore the fact that most of those fishing boats lacked the range to get even halfway to the US. Let's ask ourselves if everyone killed was indeed a hardened criminal narco-terrorist.

 

Or were they the owners and crews of fishing boats who were "drafted" to carry drugs and while paid, were not given a choice?

 

If we were so hyper-aware of their presence AND cargo, why didn't we just track and apprehend them if and when they entered US waters? You know, Coast Guard, not the Death Star Battle Group?

 

You're partly correct in that the Turd doesn't give two shits about drug smuggling and all this murdering is just a warmup. But the Turd doesn't want regime change. He wants to CONQUER Venezuela and steal their oil. That's grossly evil as well as batshit crazy, making it a signature Trump policy.

 

So you don't like regional wars? Trump's conquest of Venezuela won't be all that easy, and it will be bloody. Thousands on both sides will die because of insane Turd greed.

 

But don't worry! Trump promised "NO NEW WARS BELCH GRUNT SNORT!" He will, of course, say something like "We were already at war with narco-terrorists."

 

It's what you voted for! Rejoice!
