I don’t recall doing counter drug operations like this. Usually we capture the drugs and the drug runners. Striking the boat and killing the drug runners the best immediate action? These are very strange times.

Not publicly acknowledged operations.  

What? You actually think we’re secretly blasting gun runners instead of doing counter drug ops the way they’re trained to do and have successfully executed for decades? You think 100s and thousands of officers and Sailors on the ships, aircraft and at SouthCom would keep that bottled up so tight no one would ever know about it? Or are you saying something else?

Yes.  I actually think the U.S. government conducts clandestine operations that result in killing of terrorists, drug smugglers, gun runners and more.  These operations likely include both civilian and military personnel.  I don’t think 100’s and thousands of officers and sailors are involved.

You actually think that we’re blasting drug runners at sea? Why would we? Evidence free conspiracy theories, another check mark on the list.

That’s not what I said.

I actually  believe what I said.

@dbmhoosier Truth Social becoming Trump's version of autopen?  Not one word of that post is he smart enough to think of, capable of typing, nor does he care enough to spend the time to learn about... that someone else didn't type all that out for him.  I wonder if he's even the one hitting the post button, at this point.

@dbmhoosier Its actually more laughing and shaking my head, at this point.  But I will admit, Trump wading in to military operations, and the continued threat from China/Russia/NK/Iran...maybe now India... might make me cry at some point.

2028 can't come soon enough.

We should not take direct military action against Venezuela. Rather, we send people in to the impoverished country under the guise of being aid workers. Those people then foment a revolution overthrowing Maduro. 

 

We could call it American AID or USAID.

This is specifically about killing drug runners on a boat off South American. Do you think this is how we normally handle gun runners in boats off the coast of South (or Central) America, but this is just the first time it hasn’t been highly classified? Do you BELIEVE that?

Side question: I think the legal justification for this is because we’ve designated them as a terrorist organization?

I think that is exactly right. We’ve stretched the law to extremes already. This is just more stretching. The President is very liberally designating groups and people “terrorists.”

How is this different from bombing the Houthis?
