USA just sunk a drug boat from Venezuela

[ANNEE]

Anyway, I really had just sort of assumed that yeah, of course the CIA has been there doing some kind of ratfuckery. I mean, that's their job, right? Seriously.

Imagine that

No, there were Chemical warheads, and Biologicals.

No nuclear that I was aware of though.

I don't think there was a stockpile, or even active chemical or biological weapons found in Iraq.

Only old dilapidated stuff left over from the Iraq Iran war.

Saddam had an oppressive dictatorship, and he was absolutely ruthless. But the pretext for war was all a lie. I think that's why so many are skeptical when we put countries like Iran and Venezuela in our targets. Iran at least has a nuclear program, there is no doubt about that. The argument comes in how far long it is.

Venezuela on the other hand... I can't think of anything that makes them a threat to the US requiring such a military presence there. By our own records, they supply maybe 5% of the drug trade. Drugs are bad M'kay, but so is using the most expensive military in the world to address 5% of a problem.

LMAO
Who cares?

Those of us who want a government of laws, not of men. You know, like the founders of the nation intended.

If you don’t like the fact we can legally demolish narcoterrorists, their equipment and their drugs then your problem is with those laws, not the enforcers.
You should vote accordingly, as is your right, if you’re a citizen.

Too damn bad.

Less drugs infiltrating our country is a good thing.

There were WMD's in Iran.

Iran was the target of WMD's back in the 80's. If there were any significant numbers of WMD's left there, it was because they failed to work.

And, just last June, Trump claimed that Iran is "very close" to building nuclear weapons.

For more than 3 decades, various US spook agencies have claimed that Iran has WMD's, while everyone else, from other countries, has been saying that they don't.

And, yeah, Iraq also was accused of having stockpiles of WMD's. The whole invasion and US occupation of Iraq was based upon BS about the need to prevent Hussein from using his WMD's. The truth was, even after more than 20 years of occupation, investigation, allegation, intense search, and supposedly good intel, no one has found them.

A friend of mine ( Ninurta ) who has done stuff all over the  world wrote the following reply about the drug war. 

The "War on Drugs" has never really been a war on drugs. Elements of the US government are the most prolific drug gangs in America. What the "War on Drugs" has actually been has been a war on the competition instead. That's why we've never won it since it's declaration decades ago - they aren't fighting drugs, they are containing competitors.

A war that has not been won in over 50 years is not really a war at all - it's just a containment action with sporadic breakouts of enemy activity that have to be brought back to heel.

The current phase of the war on drugs is really just a containment action against Mexican drug cartels and Chinese chemical precursor smugglers.

If the "War on Drugs" had ever been prosecuted as an actual war on drugs, the fighting actions would have been very different, and America would be a very different place than it is today.

One telltale of the truth of these statements is the involvement of police. Police - despite their current militarization and militarized appearance - do not fight wars, soldiers fight wars. Police patrol neighborhoods, soldiers fight wars.

Ergo, the "War on Drugs" is not a war on anything at all. It's not even a "police action" - it's just containment of competition, where they "contain" the captured in civilian prisons rather than POW camps or graveyards.

Unfortunately he is correct as I seem to remember 4 tons of Cocaine that was on board a CIA Gulfstream jet that crashed.  Just one of many stories back when Iran Contra was a thing

A different take on the interdiction of the drug boats

[Knows]

What do you call a state that kills people without judicial process?

A Globalist Blue State like CA.

Maybe it was just one of those civilian merchant “fishing submarines”.
