I like the idea that, under Trump, we are basically pirates to our enemies and strong partners to our friends.

Well, the way Trump is handling Venezuela now sure beats the Biden and Harris' saying 'Ole' to all the Venezuelan trafficking for the previous 4 years. So go suck it!
In Feb 2023 Biden allowed Venezuelan oil to be imported into the US and lifted sanctions.

In Jan 2024 Biden banned US LNG exports.

Sounds like Bunk wants Tren de Aragua to just come on in and bring their drugs, rapists and soldiers with them. By land, sea or air, we are interventionalist if we try to stop them.

I forget that interventionism is OK when Trump does it -- muh peace through strength.

Much better than what Joe was trying…peace through appeasement and a few stern “don’ts.”

I'm sure you will be on board with a Dem making these designations.

How far into the Caribbean does Venezuela extend?

most countries that are members of the Unted Nations recognize approx. 12 miles of littoral waters. Of course, there are rogue players who try to extend this, but International Maritime Laws and U.N. treaties are the best guide for this.

No we literally wouldn't. If Biden had attacked the cartels, I would have been fully behind him. Only libtards determine how they feel based on who is the president.

Venezuela and Maduro are in Trump's crosshairs


If you take away their money that means they can’t pay the gangs who protect and keep them in power.

They stole their election, saw they were losing as counts were coming in and just stopped and declared victory. Protests started but their local gangs on bikes with guns stopped it.

The drugs pay for these services. Those gangs want their money. Drug running is how Maduro pays his henchmen. Prolly millions lost on that boat alone. It adds up if we stop their ability to run drugs for extended period of time.

Pretty sure the Coast Guard does this all the time.


Coast Guard doesn’t have missiles on ships.

Launching missiles in international waters by the US Navy at a non-aggressor requires a whole lot of rewriting ROE.

I'm not so one sided that I wont support good moves by Democrats, we have over 350k dead Americans dumped to just fentanyl.

How many more bodies do you want before we take this type of action.
