Poll: Do You Agree with US Policy to Kill Narco Terrorists?

[otto105]

Let's make no assumptions without rock solid evidence, for starters.

The biggest purveyors of addictive drugs in the USA are Big Pharma, which is the reason why you have an opioid crisis in the first place. Merck and others were getting stinking rich addicting middle class Americans to pain pills.

Start by going after them. Instead, Trump is giving those people pardons, and immunity from prosecution.

Hilarious

Just because you ******* ***** had to wear a mask for a couple of months

Calling it a war changes everything. Lethality is the obligation of the soldier not just a suggestion.
Just because it's not on a conventional battlefield does not mean it's not war.... It most certainly is.

Of what nation at war are those who were killed combatants?

 

[Couchpotato]

It's a made up term, an excuse for violating the Constitution.

I agree that it's a made up term but calling them terrorists just allows this admin to use the same justification that past admins have used to blow up people in the ME. If this is a violation of the Constitution than so is Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Pakistan etc.

Or when Uncle Donny wants to give his fascists a quick buzz (ie, his poll numbers are slipping).

I keep asking, and every one of them dodges the question - but are we really ok with this policy as the worldwide norm? In other words, do you support other countries attacking people in international waters if they suspect that they have committed a crime, or intend to?

Yes ok with declared terrorist organizations getting taken out while actively doing terrorist organization things in international waters.

What law were they breaking?

They misrepresented their eligibility for asylum status. They took advantage of an incompetent or illegally motivated administration that did not vet them or did not properly vet them and allowed them to come if they recited the proper assigned code words to allow them entry. When refugee status was legally ended they have refused to leave.

And that's just the ones who aren't among the tens or hundred thousands who have committed other crimes once they were here.

So you were on here making that argument when Biden was killing scores of people in Somalia, and Pakistan? When Obama was drone striking US citizens in Yemen?

Of course you werent.

Probably. Though I'd have to know exactly what you're referencing. I believe Trump, nominally, opposed those acts?

what "terrorist org" things were they doing?

Everyone said Trump's poll numbers were slipping before the election..... Kamala was a shoe-in....
The overwhelming momentum was with the Democrats. Polls and headlines we're basically handing it to the k lady right up until about 11:00 at night on election Day......

Yeah.....the polls

In particular:

Tren de Aragua formally declared terrorist organizations by the United States, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Trinidad and Tobago, Canada

and

Cartel of the Suns formally declared terrorist organizations by Argentina, Peru, United States, Paraguay, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Costa Rica, Colombia

So, if Putin declared Christian missionaries as terrorists, and then parked boats just outside our territories to pick them off as the left our country. You'd support that?

 

[OODA_Loop]

what "terrorist org" things were they doing?

Operating drug smuggling vessels and failing to yield for interdiction.

Had they stopped and let the RHIB approach and board to prove they had no drugs.

What terrorist acts have the Christian missionaries undertaken?

Goddamn. You all are too ******* stupid to even debate with. It was a hypothetical, moron.

The golden rule is the crux of all morality. Do you want other countries pulling the same shit?

The drone strikes we have run there. Killing people including the targeting and killing of a US citizen and his kid. How is drone striking a "terrorist" in Yemen or Somalia any different than doing it in the Caribbean? To be honest the drug cartels pose a greater threat to the US population than any "terrorist org" in Yemen. What threat to the US was Bashar Al Asad? He was an asshole but he kept his asshole activities limited to his borders. How many Houthis are we going to kill at the behest of the Saudis/Israelis? Obama ran 373 drone strikes in Yemen no one said a word. Biden overthrew the Government in Syria and installed a former Al Qaeda leader. Nary a peep. Trump has run over 100 strikes in Somalia since January but blow a couple drug boats and it's a thing?

 

[Couchpotato]

What terrorist acts have the Christian missionaries undertaken?

The same number as the drug cartels?

Do you know what terrorism is?

true, trump is a piece of shit that cheers the worst criminals in the world like the former president of Honduras who smuggled tons of drugs to USA and Putin, however Americans bear some responsibility for being the biggest by far avid consumers of drugs in the world, our society is sick, and the maga cult just makes it so much worse

It's not.

Much to our shame no we don't.

In the old, mega world, lack of morals, be seen as a disgrace
