One thing east asia gets right is how to tackle drug issues

Oh yeah—extra-judicial executions??

Have you ever heard of due process?

WTH is wrong with you people? [/quote]

International waters.[/quote]

International Law, should then be in effect, which Trump and the US Navy broke.[/quote]

46 U.S. Code Subtitle VII Chapter 705 - MARITIME DRUG LAW ENFORCEMENT

--declares US has jurisdiction over non-flagged vessels in international waters and possessing drugs (or manufacturing, etc) on such vessels is prohibited
__AND states:
(b)Venue.—A person violating section 70503 or 70508—
(1)[b]shall be tried[/b] in the district in which such offense was committed; or
(2)if the offense was begun or committed upon the high seas, or elsewhere outside the jurisdiction of any particular State or district, may be tried in any district.

Nothing about summary executions

Officially, the US regards 8 separate cartels and drug gangs as terrorists. Osama bin Laden didn't get due process. And neither do cartel members.

[b]As long as the intelligence is solid[/b], cartel members are fair game everywhere. These are the people that kill more than 100,000 Americans every single year. I'm not seeing any objection to this operation anywhere - except among the progressives here. Otherwise, there is universal support for hitting cartels. [/quote]

“As long as the intelligence is solid” is right. Who trusts the current US intelligence agencies under Trump? Only MAGA do.

Also, if cartels are fair game, why doesn’t the US military invade Mexico or fire missiles at cartel strongholds? [/quote]
