re: One of the drug boats had two Trinidadians on board, here is some local details

Pretty fancy fishing boat. I wonder how these Venezuelan fisherman can afford those outboard motors? ??

There is some truth to this however if you drastically limit the supply you make them scarce. I did 18 months in South America doing the “war on drugs” which was reality “let the indigenous countries have a police action”. It is a war and needs to be prosecuted as such if you want to make a dent in it. You hit the supply chain so hard the drugs become scarce and cost become unattainable in the US. Thus you limit the market dramatically.

We will never stop the flow of drugs however in this case fentanyl is the problem and the goal should be to destroy enough supply that the cost to the cartels make it where they decide to stop moving fentanyl and go back to moving purer party drugs. No fentanyl means drastic drop in ODs which means government goes back to not caring about drugs.

People like Bunk like to label every person who does a drug a worthless junkie and completely ignore the thousands of cases of teens and college students who partake in a line of coke or ecstasy pill at a party and end up getting a lethal dose of fentanyl. Those people had their whole lives ahead of them and while doing drugs was dumb young people always have and always will make dumb decisions.

Holy hell Roger, I can't believe this was your response.

No, it's not terrible reasoning.

Historically, people who illegally produce drugs for distribution in America are horrid people, but they're selling to a customer base that they need as recurring customers. They care about repeat business.

You started having the monumental spike on overdose deaths when foreign entities like the cartels and the CCP began lacing fentanyl into everything they distribute to the US. They literally don't care if it kills US citizens.

What you're saying is the literal equivalent of someone saying, "I'm sorry your daughter was raped and killed by an illegal immigrant, but she would have been raped and killed by an American if it wasn't an illegal alien."

You're better than this, man.

Yes, it is. Its illogical.

The homicide rate in this country is a direct result of our drug policy, handing over a massive segment of the economy to the black market.

I would rather people die by their own choice, rather than fuel drug wars.

I think this is very obvious at the present time. Everyone seems to agree the drug war has been a massive failure because we attack the wrong people.

The DEA made its money attacking supply, and has grown massive with no real progress.

If we want to stop the flow of fentanyl in the United States, we should be at war with the Mexican cartels, not cocaine drug runners in Venezuela. We want Maduro out and the drug issue is cover for it.

You need to put a spoiler tag on this. You just ruined War on Drugs 2.0(tm): Black Ops for everyone who hasn't played it.

The twist at the end is the best part!

If the Mexican cartels brought drugs over intl waters we'd unexist them too.
