President Trump orders attack on Venezuelan drug runners at sea

I’m not mistaken. That’s your mistake. If we’re not at war, why was the boat bombed and not just intercepted?
So you weren't mistaken when you proclaimed in utter shock, "No new wars"? Than you're dishonest then. Those are pretty much the only avenues you left available for yourself. That's on you.
 
You fuckin' idiot.


The Coast Guard’s achievement comes as U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) deployed two U.S. Navy warships to the southern border to support Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Coast Guard operations.

These U.S. Navy warships will operate in direct support of the Coast Guard and carry Coast Guard law enforcement teams that will enable them to shift to Coast Guard control during interdiction operations. As the Coast Guard hardens and sustains its operational posture, including the arrival of these U.S. Navy warships, it is fully integrated with DHS and the Department of Defense (DoD) through NORTHCOM and U.S. Southern Command.
“We are now leveraging U.S. Navy capabilities with Coast Guard teams aboard to augment our forces off Southern California and Texas.
 
Show me the law that gives people the right to impose the death penalty on the open seas without the oversight of a court and trial with an evaluation of evidence?

Of course it's the same right that you grant to "settlers" to raid and kill Palestinians and steal their home.

Piracy.
Technically, it isn’t “piracy.” As I noted earlier, it is considered “maritime crimes” committed on the open seas.

That makes them all serious felons. When our Coast Guard interdicts them, and they refuse to come to a full stop to be boarded, but instead attempt to flee, they become fleeing felons.

As such, they are subject to the use of force to prevent their escape. That’s just general criminal law. But more specific to this incident is:

Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act (MDLEA)


Next, consider 14 U.S.C. § 522 which explicitly authorizes the use of all necessary force to compel compliance.”

(a)(1) Whenever any vessel liable to seizure or examination does not stop on being ordered to do so or on being pursued by an authorized vessel or authorized aircraft which has displayed the ensign, pennant, or other identifying insignia prescribed for an authorized vessel or authorized aircraft, the individual in command or in charge of the authorized vessel or authorized aircraft may, subject to paragraph (2), fire at or into the vessel which does not stop.

Id. at section 526. (Emphasis added.)

If you claim to need anything more, maybe it’s time to do some research on your own.

I thought it wasn’t a war. Can MAGA stick to one story?!
It has been previously called a “War on Drugs,” which is more hyperbole than war. Like the “War on Poverty.”

And yet, in actual fact, since drug runners operating for a drug cartel don’t qualify as a “nation,” the action against them isn’t a “war.”

Do try to keep up.
 
Any and every thing to distract from this pedophile scandal of Epstein and Trump.
You have yet to justify the claim that the Epstein scandal has **** all to do with President Trump.

So, there’s nothing to deflect from. You shitlibs are simply — once again — trying to create something (anything), regardless of how absurd it might be, to generate a deflection from what Trump is accomplishing.

Anything and everything in an effort to stay relevant.

And they are failing.
 
I listed dozens of US citizens and their stories in another thread who were illegally arrested and detained by ICE due to their appearance and in some cases even deported. I dont think that bothers you. I think the ends justifies the means with you red hats.
/—-/ If that’s a fact, then I apologize. But, they are a tiny fraction of illegals deported. And any mistakes were quickly corrected.
 
The Coast Guard has been doing drug intradiction work since before your beloved fuhrer finished the Trump Tower.

So, you have no point.

This is another of Trump's gimmicks. Not much of anything will come of it.

Fentanyl comes through Los Angeles, and Mexico. Cocaine comes from Columbia, Peru and Ecuador.

Notice how Venezuela is absent from that list.

Nobody falls for a Trump gimmick harder than a hard core Trumpster!
Venezuela is not a producer but a hub because they government is corrupt, but most of our drug problem comes through the Mexican border.
 
Just pointing out that Trump lies, but MAGA gives him a pass every time.
How does killing some drug gang members = "war"? For **** sake man. You cant even support taking out drug runners? Whats with you democrats? Youre against ALL efforts to fight crime and its really a bummer for our nation.
