    Can I get a statement from Chuck Schumer along the lines of “These are illegal murders, and when we have the ability we will prosecute every single person involved in these strikes. Members of the military have a responsibility to disobey unlawful orders, and you will be court marshaled and tried for murder if you do not.”

    Like, in a reasonable world if and when the Dems regain power I want them to pass new laws to prosecute the people responsible for all this shit. But could we at least threaten to enforce existing law??? This is already illegal! Everyone who gives the order and everyone who follows it, all the way down the chain, is breaking the law and can be imprisoned for it.

    if you are a narco-terrorist smuggling drugs in our hemisphere, we will treat you like we treat Al-Qaeda.

    So, funding and a requested list of targets?

      They know these aren’t traffickers, they’re not that stupid. They’re trying to provoke a response from Venezuela or Colombia now so they can justify further escalation.

      Of course even if they were traffickers they still shouldnt be doing that. What the fuck is up with these lemmings?

        And they aren’t even doing this to drug traffickers anyway. Plenty of drugs are smuggled into the US by dangerous organizations who are helped by the US government. The feds would rather blow up boats carrying fruit than boats carrying cocaine because there’s probably half a dozen CIA/FBI/DEA guys on the cocaine boat.

          The pretext is incredibly flimsy anyway. A fishing boat doesnt have the range to travel several hundred miles to reach the american coastline from venezuela.

      My guess is that those attacks were meant to implicate Colombia after Colombia came out in support of Gaza.

      No none of this real, even the use of fentanilo is widley exaggerated.

      Even if it were real, so what. when the us held Afghanistan it was producing almost all the worlds opium, so exporting opium and opium products to the us is something everyone should do for the sake of symmetry.

    I know these guys’ brains are chowder, but the fact that doing this doesn’t seem to cause any cognitive dissonance around The Boss’s stated goal of winning the Nobel Peace Prize still has to say something about the Nobel.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance).

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like ‘Raid: Shadow Legends’ in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
