re: CNN Can Not Understand Why We Can Not Arrest The Drug Runners and Bring Them to Trial.

Please explain what “rights” a criminal operating in international waters on an unflagged vessel enjoys under American law. This I want to hear.

You didn't understand the first three times. Why bother with a fourth attempt?

Well by definition “victims” don’t ever get due process. That’s reserved for those accused of crimes by the criminal justice system. And I take issue with the use of the word murdered. They were addicts that made bad choices and died.

No. A chihuahua does not become a pit bull, just because you call him one. He may well be a vicious little fricker, but he ain’t a pit bull.

But yet in your ... view a man can magically become a woman because the man claims to be a woman.

You don't read so good. I said exactly the opposite re Rachel Levine a day or so ago.

I do NOT accept the premise that Levine has BECOME a woman by choosing to live as one, any more than Dolezal "became" Black by living as a Black woman.

You are wrong, and you clearly have a VERY shallow and narrow understanding of the law of the sea.

Whatever “law of the sea” you’re talking about does not apply to the US Navy.

the United States Navy was founded for the specific purpose of fighting criminal activity outside our borders.

---

Well, sort of.

It was founded in large part to deal with piracy, which is certainly a very specific subset of "criminal activity."

The analogy to these drug runners falls apart when you look at the definition of "piracy" under UNCLOS.

can you downvote from each of your alter accounts?

I never bother downvoting you. You just aren't worth the effort.

Apparently, quite a few people hold you in rather low regard.

Piracy has been considered a criminal enterprise for centuries and the UN is pretty much only legitimate when backed up by the US military, especially when when it comes to the world’s oceans. So their rules really don’t apply to us.

It's amazing you guys fell for the regime propaganda so easily
Then what’s the upside. What’s the smoke and mirrors?

Do you think we don’t know this is happening because this is bigger than drugs on Venezuelan drug boats.

This is about Venezuela being a proxy to our biggest enemies as well as emptying their prisons into our country, while ALSO killing Americans with drugs.

The oil is negligible.

How do you feel about FDR not letting Pearl Harbor know what he knew?

---

I personally feel just fine about it, since all he knew was...

quote:

---

...the Office of Naval Intelligence on December 4 warned, "In anticipation of open conflict with this country, Japan is vigorously utilizing every available agency to secure military, naval and commercial information, paying particular attention to the West Coast, the Panama Canal and the Territory of Hawaii."

---

And also since that was only one of dozens of "tips," if you can call it that, as it doesn't warn of any sort of attack, only that Japan had been gathering intel over an area that spanned over a million square miles and each point was separated from the others by a minimum of 5,500 miles.

So yeah, if FDR had been psychic enough to determine which of the dozens of tips US intelligence had received were legitimate, then psychic enough to figure out that it was talking about a direct attack, then psychic enough to guess the location of the target in a scenario analogous to guessing the exact location of one needle in three separate potential haystacks separated by 10 miles between them, then yeah, we could have avoided being involved in WWII.

We were so close.

JFC, no one is conducting "chemical warfare against American citizens." They are selling a product to willing buyers.

They are breaking the law, not engaging in warfare. They don't want to destroy the US. Our idiot junkies and addicts are their best customers.
