I hate drugs and what they are doing to people but I can't get passed the state executing people without arrest trail and a legitimate conviction.

No diff than Somali pirates... And I have no problem eliminating them either.

I'm not necessarily a huge fan. However, drug cartels are by definition terrorist organizations.

There's now a synthetic narcotic that is ten times more powerful than even fentanyl. Reports are that often 2-3 doses of narcan are not enough to counter it, even to get people to a hospital.

I have a very close friend who had a son-in-law who became addicted after an injury and the attending pain killers. A fix laced with fentanyl killed him two years ago.

Laws will never prevent addicts from doing drugs. However, if we can prosecute people severely for crimes using weapons and vehicles, I figure that anyone caught distributing anything laced with fentanyl or the new synthetic could be prosecuted for attempted homicide with a deadly weapon.

I with Busher on this one.

It seems to me that getting some intelligence gathered from these drug runners would be important.

The government doesn't care if millions die of overdose. They only care that someone who is not them is making loads of money and becoming more powerful with each shipment.

What if 1 of those boats in the future are full of Americans? That opens up a whole new can of worms. I don't know...it's just a slippery slope for me. If they can be captured alive that's what should happen imo. What if the cartels forced these guys on the boats against their will? I just think this is common sense to look at all possibles before killing for the sake of killing. 
If anything, I believe, that Trump is doing this to send a message to Manduro....trying to provoke him into attacking our boats out there. 

[Eagler]

Killing is wrong period but you have to kill some to protect others...

I'd bet they know exactly who are in the boats or Morgan and Morgan would have a commercial about it..

I think bad guys are getting instant karma..hoping it makes a difference for some ..

They're doing full surveillance. They know who and what is in the boats before the boat ever leaves.

It's pretty much a declaration of the cartels as narco terrorists and taking them out in open waters.

I'm not sure I necessarily agree with it. I also admit that I don't necessarily have a better plan.

Does it possibly provoke the "politicians" in those countries, who are pretty much owned by the cartels? Probably. I don't necessarily buy that provoking them is the purpose.

Be honest with yourself and admit that the cartels are violent, and are not only importing drugs into the country, but are also invading the country in gangs and setting up distribution networks. They gladly kill anyone getting in their way.

Yeah, ending the demand would be a kinder, gentler solution.

Like I said, I'm not sure I agree with it. But I don't have a better, effective solution. I haven't seen anyone else with one, either.

[Eagler]

Think it's a step in a better direction than this policy was...



Eagler

[Captain Virgil Hilts]

Well, society/culture has devolved to the point where even if the trend were reversed, it would take decades to substantially reduce the demand.


I understand that there is demand here. However, I see the act of importing illicit drugs, especially the fentanyl and other synthetics, and setting up violent networks of distribution, by foreign cartels and gangs, as a violent invasion of the nation.
