Trump dispenses with trials, orders military strike on alleged Venezuelan drug-trafficking boat (Now up to 2, 3, 4...)

2) I challenge you to show me any post in support of illegal immigration, terrorists or drug cartels.

About the second part, if you are not 100% supportive of the Presidents mission that used two shots to obliterate a small fast boat with 11 dangerous criminals and enemies of the United States off the coast of Trinidad but clearly heading to the United States thousands of miles away in order to flood our country with dangerous drugs, then yes, you are clearly in the same league as Osama bin Laden and Pablo Escobar.

Just the personal opinion of someone who has no idea of anything of importance. I can't even find Trinidad on a map.

1) you didn't answer any of my questions. So let me repeat:
are you in favour of applying and protecting the rule of law, without ifs or buts and without exceptions?
Do you equate the advocating for the rule of law is loving criminals?

I think there are people making a pretence of advocatating for law in order to condone their support for drug smugglers, cartels and drug lords.

2) I challenge you to show me any post in support of illegal immigration, terrorists or drug cartels.

You seem to think because a made a post that ended up below yours, that it was directed at you. It wasn't. I quote those whom I'm addressing. If you see a stand alone post from me, it's not directed at anyone in particular. And if it doesn't apply to you, then don't act like it does. However if the shoe fits, then wear it. That decision is entirely up to you.

They say for every boat stopped full of drugs headed to the US saves around 20,000 Americans from drug addiction and overdoses. There have been around a million drug death overdoses in the last 25 years. Which is more deaths than in all the major wars of the 20th century.

Musk has a good take on this and I tend to agree.

It doesn't matter because Trump. Trying to put a stop to drug trafficking and human trafficking has to be viewed as a bad thing because Trump. Plus certain people have always been against any kind of opposition towards drugs. They want no drug laws, and drugs like cocaine, heroin, and fentanyl to be plentiful and readily available at Walmart pharmacies without a prescription and covered by medicaid.

Two things can be true at the same time.

A person can be all for shooting up drug runner boats, and agree that these have been drug runner boats...

...and still be opposed to US sailors breaking the Law of Armed Conflict that requires them to pick up survivors when they shoot up boats.
