Would those crowing that this seizure today is perfectly lawful also defend China’s right or Russia’s right or another country’s right to seize American vessels based on sanctions they establish?

They already have. Trump and the republicans believe in “zones of influence” as per New National Defense Strategy. This means the US can do anything(target and murder civilians, blow of boats in territorial or international waters, take any cargo it want without compensation, etc.) within its declared zone. China and Europe can do the same. Sorry Taiwan. Russia being a weak and poor country is not able to project power and therefore can not control a zone.

So yes this is the new world order. The free navigation of the seas and rule of law are no more. When the US invades and occupies Venezuela we will be able to extract oil without paying royalties to the locals. We also can take anything.

This administration is hell-bent on dismantling the command-and-control structures of narco-trafficking routes that funnel illicit drugs in to the U.S. and have contributed to the drug-death catastrophe that kills 100,000 Americans every year.

Just think of it as Washington DC regulations for your pet agendas that you know and love so much. In short, FAFO.

It's a fool's errand to think that drug flow can be meaningfully interrupted, but then again we all know Trump is a fool. Where this is demand, there is a way.

"If it saves even one life..." - every democrat.

For guns, yes. If it saves even one life, I’m happy to take all your silly murder toys away.

But it doesn’t apply anywhere else, maga. So F off.

People like you are the reason there is a newly formed Second Amendment Rights section in the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division.

You are f’ed in the head. This administration has not taken any steps to dismantle “the command and control structures” of drug trafficking. In fact the price of illegal drugs in the US under the Trump administration have fallen by 25-35% in since January. The purity and availability of illegal drugs has increased.

What Trump and republicans have done is pardon the head of major cartels and any politicians who works with them. How do you explain that?

Trump and republicans like yourself do not give a sh#t about drug users. There is already an EO being drafted to allow the killing of drug users in the US.

DP. You absolute liar and clown. The draft bill
is to allow the killing of narco-terrorists. Do you even understand what that means? Stop spreading your fake claims and propaganda.

Exactly what I was going to say. You’d think Democrats would be applauding the effort to disrupt the drug trade in the Americas… but no. They’re lamenting the fact that someone finally has the guts to do something. Just incredible.

The problem with leading a corrupt, incompetent, and traitorous administration is that people tend to stop believing you. Not that Trump would ever do anything to help America, but if he ever did (even accidentally) no one would believe it.

lol not one republican was talking about saving the drug users in the US before Trump started to blow up fishing boats. Now the only thing they will talk about is saving the drug users? Venezuela does not manufacture fentanyl.

Why did Trump stop all cooperation with drug intervention with Columbia? Guess he wants more cocaine in the US?

Trump and his republicans lackeys are idiotic grifters. This is what the end of the American experiment looks like.

So you clearly want drug traffickers to continue having access to the US, with zero pushback. Why don’t you just come out and say so?

Trump seizes one ship: “THE SKY IS FALLING!!”

+ a million
And not just any ship, a *sanctioned* ship participating in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations. The reactions of Democrats would be hilarious if it wasn’t so completely pathetic.

Trump loves terrorists, he invited the financiers of terrorism to the White House and looked at them like a puppy that just came home from the pound.

And Narcos?! Man, he can’t get enough of them? Pardons, free passes, whatever them good old buddies want.

Likely all old friends from the Epstein days.

This ship has been sanctioned since way back during the Biden administration. It’s only now that we’re actually doing something about it. Of course it’s legal to seize a sanctioned ship participating in illegal activities. But do continue displaying your ignorance.

Sounds like a you problem. Normal people without a political axe to grind are able to understand nuance and avoid knee-jerk reactions.

Trump just pardoned one of the biggest drug traffickers of recent decades. 🤡

Apparently MAGA got its talking points on this.

But at the end of the day, MAGA cannot justify extrajudicial killings.

Then why is he giving handjobs to half of them while blowing up fishermen?

“Fishermen”???

DP... Some of the boats blown up were by various independent accounts indeed fishermen. As for the others - If those boats are full of 55 gallon drums of fentanyl as claimed, each barrel would contain enough to instantly overdose hundreds of thousands of people. Yet Whiskey Pete blows up a boat presumably sloshing gallons of that crap everywhere and the crew SURVIVES without an instant overdose? And there aren't hundreds of thousands of dead fish everywhere as a result of all that fentanyl going into the ocean? Sorry but the narrative is lacking credibility and I'm laughing right back at you. Engage your brain. And if it's all such a slam dunk then why are they showing us photos and video of boats from years ago and events having nothing to do with Venezuela and passing them off as "Venezuelan Drug Boat" photos and videos? And how is it that these boats are supposedly smuggling fentanyl to the US when they do not have the fuel capacity or range to make it to the US?

Anyone who does drugs is a “narco-terrorist”. I am sure you agree all drug users must be killed as they are narcoterrorists.
