"Extrajudicially executing" LOLOLOL.
The mentally ill has got it bad this morning.
I love how he honestly thinks anybody believes he is arguing on merit. It's just his latest crybaby outrage that per usual is based on zero fact.
Double tap second order argh!!
I would like to hear Civ's thoughts on what to do with these boats heading to our shores...
Heading to our shores, according to whom?
Where's the proof of that?
Historical evidence of direct drug routes from Venezuela to the US via speedboat?
Surveillance that shows that pattern of import?
Most importantly, do you know how far away the southern Caribbean and Venezuela are from the US? It's literally over a thousand miles. On a speedboat, which is almost certainly not possible without massive supplemental tanks which would negate the whole 'speed' thing, or refueling support along the way. Where is the refueling support or evidence of other sophistication or capability?
And even if you think the boats can make it to Amercan shores - which is obviously in question, wouldn't a more sophisticated operation similar to a war effort involving surveillance, establishing of intelligance, and ultimately apprehension of a much larger network of operatives - suppliers, runners, receivers, and distributors - be more obivously legal and fruitful than playing GI Joe with a thimblefull of drugs in the grand scheme?
More fundamentally, the US isn't winning the drug war by focusing exclusively or even significantly on the supply side, especially in infinitesimally small quantities.
That's never worked, dating back decades. You have to address the demand in this country which is all about mental health, addiction, and other community resources.
