“The Honduran move is a political play. ”

Explain.

Do you know what he is talking about?

It’s being done to influence the Honduran election for a candidate favorable to US interests.

The Democrats’ Latest Faux Scandal​

https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2025/11/the-democrats-latest-faux-scandal.php\

29 Nov 2025 ~~ By John Hinderaker

This is CNN’s version of the story, by Natasha Bertrand: “US military carried out second strike killing survivors on a suspected drug boat that had already been attacked, sources say.”

The US military carried out a follow-up strike on a suspected drug vessel operating in the Caribbean on September 2 after an initial attack did not kill everyone on board, sources familiar with the matter told CNN. That September strike was the first in what became a regular series of attacks on alleged drug boats.​

While the first strike appeared to disable the boat and cause deaths, the military assessed there were survivors, according to the sources. The second attack killed the remaining crew on board, bringing the total death toll to 11, and sunk the ship.​

***​

People briefed on the “double-tap” strike, said they were concerned that it could violate the law of armed conflict, which prohibits the execution of an enemy combatant who is “hors de combat,” or taken out of the fight due to injury or surrender.​

Which, of course, is the whole point of the story from CNN’s perspective. It’s illegal! There has been a lot of byplay on Twitter, for example:
~Snip~
Here are my thoughts on the controversy:

1) The story is based on anonymous “sources,” i.e., deep state leakers. Unless and until someone steps forward, identifies himself, tells us what he knows and how he knows it, and takes responsibility for his statements, I assume everything in the story is probably a lie.​

2) Given the lack of regard for the “law of armed conflict” that is consistently shown by our enemies, my reaction is: boo hoo.​

3) Is there really a “law of armed conflict” that says you can only shoot at a target once? And if someone escapes an initial bombing, or burst of fire, or whatever, he is home free and can’t again be targeted? I’d like to see that law. I haven’t seen any news source cite to it.​

4) If such a rule exists and applies in the present context, it is stupid. If it applies, and one were determined to follow it, it would incentivize a massive first strike that would eliminate any chance of survivors. And would also increase the risk of collateral, unintended damage.​

Meanwhile, it appears that the Trump administration may be intent on bringing about regime change in Venezuela. If armed conflict develops, the fate of the narco-traffickers will soon be forgotten.


Commentary:
All coordinated by the “Seditious Six” phase of the color revolution.
The Democrats of a Socialist America and their confederates, the Quisling Media, have long established themselves as seditious, lying, perverted, murdering traitors.
When directly questioned about "illegal orders" or "illegal action" Democrats can't actually name any. The Democrats take the side of narco-state sanctioned criminal renegades and obtusely make outrageous claims of criminality by the US hoping the rest of us don't notice. In this drug smuggling fight the Democrat Party is on the side of Venezuelan death merchant criminals.
It is NOT the first time Democrats would be on the side of non-Americans in a conflict that results in dead Americans.
Is the CNN anonymous source now going to threaten to punish the military members who took out the drug boat when Democrats get back into power? Much like Pritzker's statements.
What does the Seditionist Six have to say about this?
Coordinated lies from the Democrat source, shows loyalty to Party first and none to the Country and Constitution they took an oath to protect and serve.

Nobody cares about killing drug runners.....They could kill them here and I'd not bat an eye.

Does anyone remember Border Patrol using whips on illegals trying to cross the border?

Yeah, that didn't happen either.

 

[TimFitz]

What do you know about Chinese proliferation and expansion in South and Central America with particular focus on controlling the Panama Canal?


Not much it seems.

Share your self proclaimed expertise with us, then.

I will safely predict that anyone who uses 40 year old John Bircher and talk radio labels to describe China doesn’t actually know anything.

Sooooooooo…….. Your beloved fuhrer pardons a man who tried to import 400 tons of cocaine into the United States while his is busy ordering random attacks on alleged drug runners (another evidence provided)…………..

Got it!

Yes. The upsides to pardoning him have value.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Killing actively engaged narcoterrorists is not murder.

It's the moral and cultural equivalent of spraying for cockroaches.

Do the progs enjoy living with vermin?

[EvilCat Breath]

Your excuses are deafening!

Drug intradiction has been going on for years, and does not require blowing people up. Indeed, attacks at sea yield no intelligence, and violate international law.

There is not a shred of evidence to support your made up claim that any of these people are part of any terrorist group. Nor will the Trump regime provide any.

This is as far as it goes. Trump will TACO out, and pull a new fake crisis out of his bag of tricks to keep the Trump cult entertained.

Obviously, drug interdiction that did not involve blowing people up didn't work. No one blown up ever made it on to another drug boat.

.

Not necessarily.

But since there is no evidence whatsoever, and you have no idea who any of these people were, you have no basis for talking about cockroaches or vermin.

None.

All you know is that your fuhrer has ordered attacks on boats in open water. You assume, because the noise machine insistes, that these people are Venezuela. Even though the two that did survive turned out to be from other countries, and the US very quickly, and very quietly released them. Nd are not tracking them at all.

Trump nation loves it!

it plays to their bigotry and parochialism. They love it when their fuhrer beats his chest, no matter how meaningless it often is.

All you know is that it appears that your fuhrer is blowing up brown people in boats.

And that’s all you care about. The image on the television screen.

But, this bogus little act has run its course.

Between your fuhrer pardoning the biggest drug runner in US history, and that pomaded moron likely ordering people killed at sea, I doubt that we’ll see many more boats mysteriously being blown up.

You guys fell for it………..again!

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Of course but you also cant lay out the what charges are

I sure can. I even started a thread with a statement from the experts.

Contrast that to you just making shit up every few minutes.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

This is how a low IQ moron thinks.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes. The upsides to pardoning him have value.

The upsides to firing and putting in jail the drunken white supremacist secretary of defense has mountains of value.

Not going to happen nor is it warranted.

 

[TimFitz]

Obviously, drug interdiction that did not involve blowing people up didn't work. No one blown up ever made it on to another drug boat.

Contrary to the conclusion you drew from nothing at all, the Coast Guard has been doing vigorous drug interdiction work for decades. And these often do result in running gun battles.

My brother did this work for over ten years.
