Another drug running boat obliterated by our military on 10/14/2025.

[candycorn]

Point to me where you've complained about similar activities from past administrations?

Be more specific on these "similar activities".

 

[candycorn]

I would question any government operation, outside the normal laws, policies and treaties, we have signed, no matter who comes into office.

You're right. And, as I'm sure you know, Trump and his administration are world class scumbags.

But I would absolutely be stunned if the boats being blown out of the water were not ferrying drugs to the US.

Again; you're right but I don't feel that bad about it. That being said; ratcheting up the body count is something that we're not built for; drug lords are.

 

[RoshawnMarkwees]

You cannot fire on civilian non-combatants.

Enemy merchant shipping is a legit target.

 

[White 6]

I'm all for it. I want it to be legal for any US citizen to kill any illegal alien for any reason.

I want Trump to announce to the world that any incursions of our border, or attempted incursions, will be met with overwhelming deadly force. The only time prisoners should be taken is to torture the **** out of them for info on where others are hiding.

Maybe give invaders 2 weeks to leave on their own. After that, show no mercy. Leave or else you're fair game.

You sound like a sick kind of fk. I hear ICE is recruiting with big buck signing bonuses. Have got your own mask? I doubt, you can get hired for out of the country, where nobody really knows what is done, all they have to do is tell any story, providing no proof or background.

Trust me. We are king of ratcheting up the body count. It very well may have been drug boats, but that does not make it within the law, ours or international maritime law.

The Cartels have been designated as an enemy combatant of the US... this is perfectly normal.... if you look at it clearly they are attacking us on our own soil... we can't just let them...

 

[White 6]

Enemy merchant shipping is a legit target.

Really? In a declared war, maybe, but only Congress can declare war.

 

[Rambunctious]

White 6 if Obama or Biden were doing this you would cheer them on... be honest...

 

[leftwinger]

Trust me. We are king of ratcheting up the body count. It very well may have been drug boats, but that does not make it within the law, ours or international maritime law.

Got it. You DemWitted loons are all for unlimited illegals and criminals coming across the border will-nilly no-vetting and then pay living expenses for 5 years for all of them. Some forever. The sick that get across.

And mark you down OK with boatloads of home made drugs (no FDA) pouring in to America by foreigners for JHS to experiment with.


But mark you with TDS, don't like Trumps style you dumb OX.

Are you on the correct thread? This isn't the close the border build the wall thread.

It is about, if it is OK for Trump to send the navy, not to stop and interdict drug shipments, but to just blow boats apart, killing everybody, using multiple air to ground missiles to completely destroy, so that no evidence either way can possibly be collected, explaining why non given to the normal public.

The drug dealers already declared war. This is reactive.

One moment the six narcoterrorists were minding their own illegal business and one instant later they were blown to pieces.

If this keeps happening, pretty soon some of the narcoterrorists may start to consider this job they do as being just a bit too risky.

Is it legal, under treaties and agreements that we have signed or under our constitution?

Not only is it illegal, it's also not working.
How many times have we done the same thing over and over, and expect different results?

If it worked, there would be fewer and fewer boats every week, but instead there has been no change.

So either there are more Venezuela drug lords than we knew about, or we're blowing up innocent civilians.

 

[ThunderKiss1965]

What narcoterrorists? Seen any evidence, or drugs recovered, or statements of the accused? Sounds like violations of maritime law and misuse of the military, unchecked by war powers act, to me, with no evidence to the contrary.

Running a high performance speed boat at night in the Gulf ?

Running a high performance speed boat at night in the Gulf ?

Venezuela is almost 2000 miles from the US.
That's twice the range of the longest range possible with speed boats like those.l

A sea route from Venezuela to the USA goes through the Caribbean Sea and then up the Atlantic coast of the United States, passing by islands like the Dominican Republic and the Bahamas. The total distance is approximately 1,729 nautical miles, or 3,201 kilometers

 

[Meathead]

Sure, the drug lords are the smugglers.

 

[meaner gene]

Sure, the drug lords are the smugglers.

Wouldn't it be proper to get actually evidence of who they are, and what they're doing?

They had another two days travel to get anywhere near the US, so there was no imminent danger to the US.
We had plenty of time to actually interdict them, and get proof.

Instead we send any possible evidence of their guilt or innocence to Davy Jones locker.

 

[meaner gene]

Sure, the drug lords are the smugglers.

Maybe you're new to REALITY.

But drug lords hire smugglers to carry their drugs. They don't do the actual transportation of their drugs.
Killing the smugglers and blowing up their cargo, means we have no evidence we can use against the drug lords.

 

[Care4all]

There are unlimited poor and starving that would more likely than not, make the run...a never ending amount of people...

Killing the runners (in cold blood) , IF THEY EVEN WERE drug runners and not fisherman, does nothing to stop the Narco/drug cartels....(the problem is not being 'nipped in the bud')or do anything to help our own country's drug problems....imo.

It's simply SHOWMANSHIP....on the crazy madman possibly lawless level.

 

[LibertyKid]

Really? In a declared war, maybe, but only Congress can declare war.

It's a grey area. But we have seen previous democrat presidents take 'militarized' actions when not in war. Let's not pretend this is only a Trump thing.

Also, our country is fighting an epidemic due to these drugs coming from the south, and also from the north, and precursors being provided by China.

The left want to end gun violence, yet the number of deaths from guns is less than half (not counting suicides) than the deaths and the effects of illicit drugs being brought into our country. Where is the uproar from the left?
