When should we intervene in what we perceive as stolen elections and when should we stay out of it?

When it is easy to affect change, obvious that the election was stolen, and in our best interests, we should do it.

I promise you if China was striking drug boats the the U.S. was sending their way, not one of us would complain.

The relatives of some of the men killed in the strikes were especially fearful of speaking to AP because police and state intelligence agents searched their homes shortly after their loved ones’ deaths.

And yet somehow this made it out without any repercussions

The four dead men included a fisherman, a down-on-his-luck bus driver, a former military cadet and a local crime boss. Others included laborers and a motorcycle driver.

And of course Bunk got sucked in by the heroic news reporters sipping mojitos while reporting the official state story. Out of fear for their lives, of course

I mean just because you used to be a plumber and now run drugs doesn't mean jack shite. You are now a drug runner.

If we were in Venezuela, half of this board would be in a cartel or working for them.

And the other half would be in the US illegally.


That's what happens when you vote for socialism.

Probably.

There is no economic opportunity in Venezuela. Most of us would do what we had to in order to feed our family.

Much respect, but Americans are spoiled. Most of us have lost our survival instincts.

I would haver zero problems selling drugs if it meant my family could eat You wouldnt either.

But at least I'm honest about it.

Is there a single day that you aren't crying like a little bitch about dead drug dealers?

I think was the original picture from the AP story

They weren’t narco terrorists. They were sub contractors to narco terrorists.

But you'd also accept the risk that you could get a missile shot up your arse or be skinned alive by a rival cartel. All fair in the dope game.

This should not be a surprise. The "narco terrorists" were never the ones found out in the Everglades with their abdomens slit open after flying in with condoms filled with coke in their intestines. Yes...stupid games win stupid prizes. And it isn't necessarily likely that the poor saps running the drugs had even heard about the strikes on boats before it happened to them.

That having been said, I have no issue with what Trump is doing. But it is taking out the lowest rung on the ladder, not the "narco terrorists."

Probably. Young men love risk and adventure. Many of us here would have been in drug gangs if we grew up in the hood, too.



I did a lot of risky stuff as a young man. Everyone should.

Fent is added at street levels. Cocaine is usually transported in a paste form. Powder is for movies. Its never a powder its chunky. It won't maintain shape with cut added early. Unless the cut is b12 or baby laxitive. But then it's rerock. The bundles coming from south America usually are treated with gasoline or acetone and processed before final transport.
If they are stopping fentanyl GREAT but I really think they are targeting pure cocaine.
If that's the true goal we should target Bolivia.
The truth is none of this has anything to do with drug running. This is a way to look like they are stopping dangerous drugs while not doing anything of substance.

Fact. Even arguing the point is futile because if it were really about drugs Venezuela would not be the target.
