Cadet Bonespurs, the lying coward, is ordering the murder of people in pangas to instigate a fight with Maduro.
End of story.
The President has justified the strikes as a matter of national self-defense, claiming, without evidence, that drugs from the region are responsible for three hundred thousand deaths in the U.S. last year. “To every terrorist thug smuggling poisonous drugs into the United States of America, please be warned that we will blow you out of existence,” Trump said at the United Nations last month. “Each boat that we sink carries drugs that would kill more than twenty-five thousand Americans.” There were about eighty thousand drug-overdose deaths in the U.S. last year. Fentanyl, which was responsible for the overwhelming majority of them, doesn’t come from Venezuela, and the Coast Guard has no record of seizing it in the Caribbean.
I'm ashamed that our US Navy has agreed to follow illegal orders in violation of international laws.
Using Trump's reasoning, he could order strikes on trucks carrying heroin in the the Golden Triangle and freighters carrying fentanyl chemicals from Asia.
He's targetting one of the lesser damaging of the 'recreational' drugs (compared to opiates and fentanyl) for purely political purposes.
