I've decided your post was so full of nonsense that I would take the time to dissect it.
Thankyou I am so gracious that you will take the time to give your personal and biased opinion lol.
This is a nonsense claim, but at least it isn't yours. No definition of "terrorist" overlaps with what the cartels do inside the US.
Are you now an expert on political legalities.
For some reason I cannot fathom, the above is written to counter the *fact* that the cartels are not transporting cocaine to use as a weapon against drug users. Do they care if some of their customers die? Most likely not. Is their intent to kill their own customers? I don't think so.
Now your rationalising how drug lords think and trying to justify their actions. You don't know as you are not within the level of authority as to knowing all the information. But your quite willing to act like you do.
This next bit was *also* in response to that statement, but it is so far from being responsive or on topic that I will address it separately.
That is not what they said. They reminded anyone who heard it that members of the United States Armed forces have an OBLIGATION to refuse to obey an illegal order. As reporting has continued, it becomes more clear that illegal orders were issued.
No thats my point. They had legal representation with them on the mission and they stated it was legal. I am saying you don't know the details and yet you claim to know more than everyone involved. Your not an expert and you don't know so stiop pretending you do.
The theoretical amount of coke that a single boat could carry in a year is not relevant. The people in that boat were not responsible for what could happen.
They are the foot soldiers who carry out the illegal activity. Does a judge let them off because they claim they don't know. Its like the Nazi soldiers claiming they were only carrying out orders. They know exactly what is going on. Stop trying to make excuses for them.
That is not how culpability works. I ain't "minimizing" anything. I just think your claim that the crew of this boat was responsible for thousands of deaths and by implication deserved to be murdered was ridiculous. (You don't know the intel either.)
This is silly. Its like saying the foot soldiers of terrorist who plant the bombs or chemical poison are innocent. Its all part of the same operation. What do they do asllow the foot soldiers to plant the drugs because they are not the ones who gave the order.
I realy don't care how far "gone" convict island is. The most depraved part of this incident is the extrajudicial murder of the boat crews.
Its not murder and this shows exactly your hypocracy. This has now been shown to be legal. There was a legal expert on the plane with them informing them of every move they made to be sure it was legal.
It has now been found that the two were claimbing back into the boat and radioing through to other narcos to come. They were still in the fight and trying to save their pay load and perhaps even calling for backup to fight., But certainly trying to recover the drugs to continue their mission.
Once again the hypocracy of those who are so fixated on hating Trump[ and his admin that they are blind with bias and want to be judge, jury and executioner before all the facts come out,
I used widely available information about the drug trade, overdose rates, etc. Most of it the intel agencies would get from the exact same place I did. All of it was to show that your estimation of the potential deaths caused by the cocaine that was being transported was grossly overestimated.
Trump is not relevant here. He didn't issue the order to kill.
I'm not allowing you to change the topic. They weren't carrying chemical weapons intended to attack the US. This is also not the place to discuss drug policy. It is a thread about drone strikes.
Wrong topic
No cartel has conducted terrorist operations in the US.
Those are the excuses I expect the Admin to make. I don't need them from you.
I can judge the actions of the government if I like. I have that right. Their not bloody kings.
I will not bother with the rest as you have disqualified yourself showing bias.
