    Smuggling cocaine isn’t a valid defence of the first strike, why would you think it’s a valid reason for the second one?

    We don’t fucking issue death sentences for trafficking drugs.

      We don’t. They do. It’s fairly well telegraphed in project 2025. Death penalty for drug dealers is definitely on the roadmap in the US, too.

      Christianity was a big enough problem without it being usurped by incels.

      We especially don’t issue death sentences for actions taken outside the country, or without trial.

      Wait, we’re in the upside-down. We especially do issue death sentences in those conditions.

        Aren’t they in international waters, anyway? They’re not even under the purview of US law. They can carry as many drugs as they want.

          If they want people to believe them, they need to share a sanitized version of their intel, and send a cutter over to pull heroin out of the water. Go through the effort of identifying the victims and justify that they were indeed cartel members

          I realize all of that can be faked too, and I’m not sure I trust this administration even if they showed ”evidence”, but at least it would be an attempt to justify murder

        Haven’t proven ANY of these boats have had drugs on them. And if they did this is a good way to fight an endless war, by waiting patiently for the grunts to leave the trench and making no advance and gaining no intel.
