Is blowing up "supposed" drug smugglers successful in stopping drugs?

[Deadstick]

Maduro and Venezuela are the scourge of the Americas and have killed or otherwise ruined the lives of countless Americans with their drugs and human trafficking. You are talking out of your arse and refuse to acknowledge what President Trump is doing for the country AND it's citizens.

You are talking total Bollocks!! what information do you have that Maduro is guilty of that bullshit?

^^^The left is SO angry that President Trump is cutting off their supply of drugs and slaves.

Marvin should be a strategist for the Republican party. Everybody knows that everyone who did not vote for Trump is a drug addict and believes in slavery.
The KKK, neo-Nazis, White Supremacists, White nationalists all support Trump. The majority of the demographic who have been enslaved in the past have supported whoever ran against Trump.

Marvin could move all those groups away from Trump.

Because blowing up boats all over the Caribbean has nothing to do with drugs, it's another WMD scam, when will people wake the hell up?

That is my point.

If so, why don't we use lethal force on drug runners in the USA?

The drugs being carried on a boat that is blown up don't ever get to the USA so that is 100% successful.

Drug runners caught in the USA can be arrested. Those boats are given the option to turn around or stop and be boarded too. If they don't, they're blown up.

It works great.

I have not heard they have been given a chance to stop and be boarded.

Not sure if individual boats are warned. For sure the Venezuela government has been warned.

Then how can they be given the chance to be stopped and boarded as you stated as though it is fact? NOTHING even close to that has been reported....no one in the admin has told us that....absolutely no one.

Are you still for these killings, without this opportunity to be stopped and boarded as you thought was happening?

It's not as much about blowing up drug smugglers as it is blowing up the competition. But it's also very possible that blowing up boats could ruin a lot of good fish. In either case, I'm of the mind that randomly blowing up boats in the USA could be considered a crime as a result of that "due process" obstacle. Blowing up random boats outside the USA is easier to get away with.

And no one cares. Get the bucket and go fetch water and do the dishes like a good cabin wife.

They will run out of boats if they keep on trying.

Why is the admin going after Venezuela who deals in cocaine, when our problem causing 70% of all overdoses and drug deaths in the USA, is Fentanyl coming in from Mexico, through our legal ports of entry, by many Americans in passenger cars, with Mexico getting the chemicals to make the Fentanyl from China?

Since Tax monies are limited, and 70% of our drug problem and deaths in this day and age, are from Fentanyl....shouldn't that be where our govt spends their time, effort, and money going after the drug manufacturers, dealers and drug runners?

Why in the heck are we 1500 miles away in Venezuela?

The administration says it identifies the drug cartels running the boats before they are destroyed. It has put the 'world' on notice that running drugs to the USA will not be tolerated. I don't know if individual boats are warned. I had assumed they are based on previous protocol, but I have come to admit that I don't know for sure. It could be the same kind of thing as taking out Islamic terrorists with surprise drone attacks or whatever as was common in the Obama and first Trump administrations.


But all the cartels have to do to not be blown up is to not head their fast boats in our direction.

I know the policy deviates from the previous protocols. But I also know that previous efforts to stop the drug traffickers have been ineffective. And they are killing thousands of our citizens.

So I don't know whether the policy will hold up in court or not and I imagine it will sooner or later arrive at SCOTUS for determination. Do I believe people trafficking dangerous drugs to the USA deserve to be blown up? When they know that is a possibility and they're doing it anyway, I have a hard time not seeing taking them out as self defense.

Hardly, most of it is home grown etc etc. But Trump knows how to play his idiot audience, they love the fool, evil acts or not. Evil for Trump is normal stuff.
