This is the area of the world we should be focused on. Not Europe. Not the Middle East. Not Asia.

America. We defend the western hemisphere.

Got a link? Must be interesting.

It turned out to be pretty spot on.


I was gong to echo your "pretty spot on" before I read it. He has weaponized the power of suggestion to create a consensus.

Ironic statement (if you think about it).

Not a problem with this at all..

But why haven't we staunchly defended our own borders for the last 25 years?

Why haven't we nipped the Mex-cartel action in the bud 40 years ago?

Why haven't we defended American manufacturing and business since the 90s?

From what I've observed, our philosophical "defense" policy doesn't seem to be so much about "defending" or "preserving" America's true interest at all.

They're in international waters, and Venezuela hasn't complained. If they do complain, they're admitting they are complicit in the drug trafficking.

So every country now has the right to blow up boats in international waters by designating them as "terrorists"?

Sounds like it. All it takes is one man to decide it needs to be deleted, backed with deep state "evidence."

"
It’s sad that we’re wasting taxpayer money strategically bombing Venezuela when there’s so many parts of us cities that need it more"

The taxpayer money or the bombing???

Of course not. I'm saying this is why they've not lodged a formal complaint (everything you're seeing from UN is based on tine internet images).

There isn't, and there hasn't been. It will be funny to hear your TDS delusions claiming that, "well, i'm sure he'll get us in a war soon."

If they are NARCOS, yes.

Imagine the severity of TDS one must have, to try and defend the narcos.

So, your position, outside the military action we have already taken, no more will occur within the borders of Venezuela, correct?

1) None have occurred within the borders of Venezuela.
2) My position, is unless provoked by the Venezuelan or Russians, that yes, we will not strike Venezuela and continue to destroy drug smugglers trying to enter the US.

Most of the boats were headed to Trinidad and Tobago.. Not the USA


US intelligence is overrun with swampers and people who justify the military state. You too used to believe this.

For those of us who enjoy deep water fishing in the Gulf and offshore in Central American waters, this is a terrifying prospect.

There is a sliding scale of interventionism I can buy into.

Further away = lesser
Closer = more
