President Trump orders attack on Venezuelan drug runners at sea

[Lesh]

Due process for drug smuggling terrorists. Damn, your hatred for the President really is that deep.

Due process… to make sure we have identified the right people

Due process because smuggling is not a capital crime

In the war on terror there are no rules. There is no Geneva Convention.
Drugs are killing 80,000 Americans a year, that has to stop, one way or another.

I support killing every narco-terrorist manufacturing or distributing illicit drugs,

Wrong. There are always rules

I love how they blew the boat to smithereens! Now just do that 9,785 more times and we get em all!

 

[SeaMajor7]

The lack of self-awareness of the demented LEFT is astonishing.

 

[berg80]

I think the only real argument here, is that they are legally deemed a terrorist org.

It's amazing the ease with which you identify a legal rationale when the regime's lawyers struggle with it. A good first step here would be for the regime to prove the people who were killed were who the regime said they were and doing what the regime claims they were doing.

I'll put you down as being in favor of extrajudicial executions.

and they think the tater is insane.

The more you screw with him, the more of this he must do.

 

[berg80]

The question, now, is how the military responds. Will they evaluate the attack as to whether trump's order was a legal order, or a breach of international law? Will they refuse illegal orders in the future?

Great question. Because on the surface it appears that the personnel involved in carrying out the order were within their rights to refuse to do so. Then again, they could have been lied to and thus didn't object.

Ashli Babbitt wasn't given due process.

BTW, smuggling drugs is a capital crime in much of the civilized world, including Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.

In the USA, drug kingpins can be given the death penalty as well, if murders can be attached to them. Considering the fentanyl crisis, and the number of people committing self harm because of the high taxes to provide free needles and narcan, I'd file 1st Degree Murder charges against these creeps.

They did identify them. They were terrorists. They are now dead terrorists. I truly hope your cult, once again, takes the 10% side of this 90-10 issue.

Of terrorists, absolutely.

 

[22lcidw]

Wrong. There are always rules

A western hemisphere war will cull the population to manageable numbers. And the population is not oppressive now. Too much corruption and nations formed from infancy with little population screwed themselves over when they had opportunities for greatness compared to most nations of the planet with populations.

 

[berg80]

it appears Trump was serious when he said he would use the military to strike the drug cartels smuggling deadly poison into the US ! During the WH press briefing today Trump announced that the US military destroyed a Venezuelan drug boat that had 11 suspected Tren de Aragua narco terrorists on board !

Where is the proof?

They never make mistakes? Oh and when did drug smuggling become a capital crime with no court case?

 

[kyzr]

Wrong. There are always rules

When the other side has no rules, we should have no rules.
Narco-terrorists have no rules. QED

Ashes Babbitt was actively involved in a violent attack on Congress and the police

Dude. WTF? Terrorists on the battle field (yes, it's a battlefield) do not get court dates.

Funny thing is that I doubt you even see this as a 90-10 issue.
