Um, we got into a long, bloody war with Iraq because the intelligence community INSISTED that Saddam was making a nuke and he was going to kill us all!!!
So, here's a crazy idea; have Trump show us what his evidence is that these fishing boats he's blowing up in violation of international law are really smuggling drugs.
I'll have to dig up some older data, but,.... Saddam did gas a village that opposed him with Sarin. And he had a very, small Nuclear weapons program, but he was very limited on developing long range missiles.
Shortly before the Land Invasion, massive Iraqi convoys went in to the Bekaa (Sp?) Valley of Lebanon, & in to Syria.
Syria shortly after, announced that it had a Nuclear weapons program, which Israel later bombed. And a radical Muslim group from Lebanon, carried out a small gas attack in Jordan. Again, I'll have to dig up that data, but,.....
Saddam did not have the capabilities of Directly Attacking America, as the Bush Jr. Administration told the American people.
The Iraq War, accomplished nothing as in regards to bringing peace to the Middle-east, but it did strengthen the Shia & Sunni Muslims, in many ways, & it absolutely enriched the "Military/Industrial Complex", that Eisenhower Warned America about before he left Office.It also brought a closer Alliance between Russia, China, & Iran.
And once again,.... America wasted it's Resources, Cash, & Man Power, Fighting an Undeclared, & Unjustified War, with No Clear, & Precise Objective, nor resulting in the Total Defeat of an alleged Enemy.
The First Trump Admin. did not "Go Bonkers" about the so called "Venezuelan Drug Cartel". Sure he got a few small groups to enter Venezuela with hopes of starting a Revolution, and he backed the Opposition Candidate for President, but, Trump didn't go after Venezuela in the manner that he's doing now.
Trump in his "I Know Everything", "I Know more than the Generals!", "It will be the biggest, most beautiful....!" Mindset is "Light Years" from considering what Russia, & China, will do, if he attacks Venezuela.
This pretense of Bombing/Invading the Drug Cartels could easily be applied to Mexico, Columbia, Canada, & more!
Destroying alleged Venezuelan Drug boats, with it not being an Act of Self Defense, nor with Authorization from Congress, in International Waters is an Act of War, And against American, & International Law.
Trump, if he was/is truly concerned about drugs entering America via the seas, should have vastly increased Naval Forces in American waters. If these drug boats, once intercepted, fired upon American Forces, then YES! .... Blow them out of the water! But if these so called "Narco-Terrorists" surrendered,...... I'm sure that a great deal of Data could be retrieved, that eventually would lead to either shutting down, crippling, or destroying the Drug Cartels.
