I understand that fentanyl is not coming Venezuala but I dont think what you've stated is the devastating point you think it is. The US is also awash with cocaine (20k overdoses a year is the tip of the iceberg). I note that none of the replies to my parent comment had anything to say about the scourge of drugs across America. I guess 120k deaths a year is a small price to pay if it makes Trump look bad, right?


Then why didn’t you say cocaine? The connection of these boats to any drugs is dubious, but you picked a drug that they’re definitely not involved in even if you 100% believe the administration.


"The connection of these boats to any drugs is dubious..." this is simply ridiculous.

Boats with 3-4 outboards on the back carrying large bails of some unknown "cargo" transiting well-established drug routes is obviously not a "dubious" connection. We also don't know what the intelligence was on the ground which I'm also guessing was quite substantial.

Neither you or I have the faintest clue what information was available behind the targeting decisions. Reality and your desire to frame things to justify your hatred of Trump are two completely different things.


What’s ridiculous is believing anything these shysters say.


(shrugs) fine believe what you want...
