What a reporter found when she investigated US military strikes on Venezuelan drug boats...with the intent to humanize drug runners to make the US look bad.

The media is out to sensationalize and get views/clicks.

Next time you start a post, understand the terms being used
quote:

drug runner - a person that illegally takes drugs into another country

quote:

The term "narcoterrorism" is more often used to describe terrorist organizations' use of international drug trafficking to fund their operations. Terror groups such as the Taliban, Hamas, and ISIS have been labeled by authorities as narcoterrorists. Regardless of the precise definition, however, the term narcoterrorism indicates a connection between drug trafficking and terrorism.

quote:

'Hezbollah has become a main money launderer for narco-terrorism groups like Venezuela's Tren de Aragua,' fmr DEA official warns

I'm not seeing much of a difference, actually

Which one is legal to sell and which ones are not? If you have an issue with the legality of what a pharmacist sells you, talk to your representative about changing the laws. Our current US laws say that a "fisherman" working on a boat bringing fentanyl to our country is an illegal drug dealer/trafficker no matter his life story up until that time.

There is no such thing as a narco-terrorist. That's why this is a joke. Trump made it up via executive order and you guys are swallowing the Orwellian language hook, line, and sinker.

A bus driver that touches a kid is a child molester, not a bus driver

I read the description of a "narco-terrorist".

My personal opinion is drug runners fit the description.
quote:

or leaders of a cartel or gang.
No, they were soldiers for these people.
quote:

Most of the nine men were crewing such craft for the first or second time, making at least $500 per trip, residents and relatives said. 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.
Have you ever seen a list of the jobs our guys had before being drafted, paid about $250 starting pay and killed by N.V.A.? That's where workers are gotten and sometimes they die.

We even lost a few while I worked at the chemical company.

That is how the world works, Bunk. It's a tough life. Get used to it.

Did you take the time to look this up? It has a meaning. Wikipedia (your dictionary) says:
quote:

Narcoterrorism, in its original context, is understood to refer to the attempts of narcotics traffickers to influence the policies of a government or a society through violence and intimidation, and to hinder the enforcement of anti-drug laws by the systematic threat or use of such violence. As with most definitions of terrorism, it typically only refers to non-state actors.

I wouldn’t risk my life for 500 bucks. They know that the US military is blowing these guys up. It doesn’t matter what kind of people they were, it matters what they were doing at the time of their deaths. They were trying to bring drugs into another country and kill other people.

Bunk has them in his post. Just because you're the driver for the narco terrorists doesn't mean you're not one of them.

Are you claiming they didn't know they were part of the cartel?

Seems like you have dropped out of the conversation.

That would be a good thing.

Maybe you should drop out of sight.

No 'but,' they were running drugs. That coupled with the fact that they were dumb enough to run anything into that gauntlet of the finest military tech in history means they deserve it.

The whole thing is still weird to me, though. It's crazy that anyone would repeatedly go out into that and it all does feel kinda fake.

Oh okay thats cool. They've chosen to self identify as non-narco-terrorists despite their occupation of being narcotings trading killers of Americans.

This is like finding creeps in prison that have forcibly had sex with children and saying "oh the forced little kids into disgusting acts that will ruin their lives but they're not child molesters".


It's sick where were are as a country. Our guilt complex is fricking ruining us.
