Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it,

[Swede]

So they're killing folks on these boats and we have no idea who they are or what they're doing, it seems.

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

1. Also, how about a public campaign against taking these pills.

I’m not afraid of fentanyl because nobody’s gonna shoot me with a fentanyl pill

[Lovie777]

2. K & R...............

apparently, shithole and comrades rather kill.

[AverageOldGuy]

9. You nailed it

The "drug problem" is, at its base, a supply and demand issue.

Americans demand dope, the folks who have it supply it. That simple.

As long as we demand it, they will supply it.

[Walleye]

14. I guess they're so excited about it because white kids in red states started dying

[PittBlue]

3. This is so surreal.

Killing for no apparent reason. What a bunch of sick, pathetic bastards.

[PatSeg]

8. A whole lot of blood-lust

from the top on down. They do these things because they can, not because they should.

4. Trump can brag they're narco-terrorists after he incinerates the evidence, there's nothing left to prove him wrong.

Had they really been narco-terrorists, Trump would make a big public show of the seized contraband. A boat-full of fishermen isn't very dramatic.

[groundloop]

20. Or (in the case of the first attack) migrants.

[Raven123]

5. Drugs don't kill, people do

Just noting the hypocrisy in how MAGA addresses guns versus drugs.

[Johnny2X2X]

6. These are not drug boats

There's nothing to interdict except for fishing.

[Cheezoholic]

11. Especially the ones sitting still. I've been offshore fishing in boats like those n/t

[slightlv]

7. because drugs are just the excuse... the diversion, and not just

away from the Epstein files now. Did you see on Yahoo news (I know... but more than often, they're confirmed)... anyway, a kremlin aide is supposed to talk to trump about building a "tunnel" from Russia into Alaska. ALASKA! We all wondered what the crap went on up there... why they all came out of that meeting looking like they did. Maybe this was one of the things bandied around like that. Now, putin won't have to bomb us, he'll just march russians into the US to do his bidding (I figure by the time the damned thing's done, he'll be out of soldiers thanks to Ukraine.). Maybe this is just the latest "secret" to leak out into the open... his skeletons rising from their graves... the dead won't stay dead. I only hope they can drag him down with him when they go.

18. It has also been rattling around in my head, does Trump want to take over Venezuela or at the very least

get a friendly government there in case Canada decides to put tariffs on our oil going to the US? Is he playing a longer game, keeping the negotiations open with Canada, while he looks for other sources of energy? I do not trust him or his government in any way and do believe that there is a strategy here, not thought up by Trump but by those who control him and it all ties together for complete control which means taking over other countries resources.

[slightlv]

21. Oh, yeah... taking over the world.

What else would you expect from Nazi Stephen Miller?! Trump's too into dementia for any of this to follow through, let alone come up with! The only thing he can see is keeping the Epstein Files from everyone. And gods, WHAT is in those files that the republicans are ALL so batshit crazy about not releasing them!!!!!

[FakeNoose]

10. This is how Chump gets his jollies now

This is reality TV, and he's playing the role of "God."
What's the matter, why aren't we bowing down?

[aggiesal]

12. Not having all that information, is the point. You know plausible deniability ...

Having witnesses exposes their true motive, which is just to kill people to feel strong.

[multigraincracker]

13. War crimes?

[thomski64]

19. Extra judicial murder.

[flashman13]

15. I highly recommend watching the full video.

[MineralMan]

16. It's easier to blow the boat up and kill everyone.

No witnesses. That's how Trump thinks. He can do it, so why not, he says.

Apparently, though, there were some survivors of the most recent incident. I doubt we'll hear what they have to say, though.

17. The current Nobel "Peace" prize winner in Venezuela

Maria Corina Machado, approves of pedo Trump blowing up these boats. She thinks it's a good thing. No wonder her substitute candidate, whom she fully supported, lost the election.

Most Venezuelans knew Edmundo González Urrutia was merely a stand in candidate for Machado. And Machado faced treason charges for her role in the 2002 coup attempt against then-President Hugo Chávez. See they don't allow criminals to run for President in Venezuela, unlike in the US.

So, yeah, pedo Trump is backing her over the current president because she's as much a criminal and traitor to her country as he is.

So, don't think just because you win a prize for peace you actually promote peace or disapprove of your own citizens being blown out of the water on whim of a foreign dictator.

It's all about politics and money.

[AllaN01Bear]

23. yet we have a criminal in office here right now .:(

[Farmer-Rick]

25. Exactly

He is a convicted felon and we let him run for President. WHY????????

[rubbersole]

24. And oil.

[AllaN01Bear]

22. someone who never has been in war , wants a war. hem
