YOU know thats not a "random boat" and they are not humans therefore its the same as killing a squirrel

>>516640108
what are they using to kill them??? hellfires??
are the hellfires worth more than a boat full of coke heading to the us???

>>516640134
>probably

>>516640134
>Following two U.S. strikes in September 2025 against alleged drug cartel boats from Venezuela, the specific munition used was not officially confirmed, though the AGM-114 Hellfire missile was reported as the likely weapon. The strikes were carried out by either military helicopters or MQ-9 Reaper drones.
>The cost of an AGM-114 Hellfire missile varies by variant and purchase agreements, but generally ranges from $68,000 to $200,000 per missile
So about as much as an Indian Visa fee.

>>516640605
>hellfires worth more than a boat full of coke heading to the us
definitely not, hellfire cost is 100k , a kg of coke is a lot of money and thats a boat full of it (a small one but still at lease several millions)

When brittania ruled the seas they stopped slave shipping.

US institutions boat& logistics obsession is now finally put to a good use.


If only they would do the same for migrant human trafficking boats. We did just a few such things and our criminally under equipped coast guard got dis-invited from European common sea police actions.

Our coasties have not sunk a boat in quite a few years. Their remaining unreplenished commie era ammo is probably soon past due and they will be forced to ram illegal boats to do their due diligence in sinking fuckers not responding to hails, as per the law.

>>516640605
lets be honest, the missiles will either kill drug dealers or be donated to israel

>>516640821
those are the costs of the whole operation, the killed boat is a target of oportunity , the real target is maduro and the cost of the operations is definitely worth the big prize that s the venezuelan oil reserves

>>516640134
>$20k
Oh here comes the virgin loser that doesn't know shit about drugs.

Why do they keep using these clipper dinghies? Don't the cartels have subs and shit? Also pretty sure they have mules on cargo boats and stuff. Going out on a regular speedboat seems dumb.

>>516640902
Or go past due and you are then force to pay the same company 0.5 or so of the acquisition price to dispose of them as per contract. Imho better to use or donate them than to pay the overinflated disposal fee.

But why a missile? It's a wooden boat with a bunch of niggers, you just need about 10 50. Cal shells to sink it lol

>>516641518
I do not think the USN has not donated a lot of anti ship missiles to run out of stock. And if they have to pay disposal fees for some missile they bought 30 years ago... I think it is both cheaper and more satisfying to fucking use it that to have to pay for not using it.

>>516641518
would have been a more kino video to see some helicopter kill that with an autocannon, but those beanears are lazy, they like the autoslop of the hellfire.

Provoking a war with venezula. The first boat they shot was nowhere near capable of reaching the US anyway.

These tiny boats are too small to make it to the US unless they are carrying only fuel in storage. These are just random killings

it cost millions to kill these shitskins but they still can't release the epstein files.

>>516640143
We've sunk at least 4 boats that I am aware of. One was sunk after we arrested everyone onboard (it was a Coast Guard intercept and they are arresting instead of just killing).

>>516652917
It costs millions to prosecute these guys. It costs $150k at the most to kill them and sink their boats, while leaving federal prosecutors and their resources free to prosecute American criminals.

>>516651781
That's why he designated them terrorists, narco terrorism to be exact. Fent in the US is extremely cheap and now its really not even fent anymore but Zylazine and other poison which just kills people which isn't a really good business model is it? What dope dealers sell synthetic drugs so cheap anyone can afford them that kills their clientele? It's narco terrorism and its been happening in the America's for a while and I hear its making its way to Europe now. It's just another way to wipe our people out. The narco terrorists must be destroyed. In the US they literally use Taco trucks to traffic humans and drugs around the country and Mexican restaurants. It's so obvious and right under everyone's nose but people turn a blind eye to it or don't suspect it until they notice something suspicious

>>516640605
The hellfires are cheap. Like, really cheap. But we're also using these drug boats as an opportunity to test out all sorts of other weapons that we want ready in case of China invading Taiwan, and we'd need to test those anyway. It's good practice for our troops anyway. Gets them flight hours, gets them real world combat experience. They're checking off quals.
The drugs on the boats are worth a lot more than the weapons we're using. And it prevents those cartel members from ever working again, and discourages other people from getting involved in the smuggling business if they aren't already. Drug cartels will have to offer more money for the increased risk. Eventually if we're good enough at this they may not be able to find anyone anymore, because it's a guaranteed death within days of joining up. We're not fighting an ideology, but a business. Random fishermen don't want to martyr themselves or fight the American infidels, they just want to make some quick cash for their families. If they can't actually make that cash, because they're dead, it's pointless and they won't do it.
Now consider the opportunity costs. If we take these people alive, we have to prosecute them. That's way more expensive than the missiles, too. That uses up a lot of time and money that could be used for prosecuting criminals who are already in America. It's very costly to import new criminals for prosecution when the alternative is just not allowing them in to begin with. It means more criminals go free in America for lack of prosecution resources. It also means longer wait times for federal lawsuits to go through, at a time when we are having a lot of big political controversies in the federal court system. Rather than gumming up the works with some 3rd world browns, we can just blow up their boats.

>>516640884
Maybe after the US ends the global drug trade, we can start patrolling the waters off of Africa and sink any boat that leaves African shores.

>>516640108
I love Trump even more the second time around because now he has experience on how to get things done. He's deporting migrants, cutting off their free shit, he's destroying narco terrorists, great new alliance with Bukele to deport them to CECOT, charging 100k a year now for H1B workers and regardless of what people say about the Israeli stuff, he's really getting involved as little as possible, he's helping Ukrainians more, offered refugee status to white South Africans. I think this tech deal with UK is to get English cousins here instead of H1B Indians. Magatards are finally learning how to call and email peoples employers so they get fired, DEI ended and the list goes on. Something great happens weekly

>>516641004
They have many methods of smuggling. We are going after all of them. We have our most advanced sensor platforms off the coast of Venezuela now. There's no dramatic drone footage of a submarine getting sunk, though. It just gets hit by a mini torpedo, cracks open, ans sinks.

>>516647170
Yeah, honestly. It probably does break down like that. Except the missile costs $150k max. And that one drug shipment probably would have killed a thousand Americans.

>>516647854
Why would we go to war with Venezuela? We just want to get rid of the cartels. Maduro and a bunch of the government are part of the cartels, but most regular Venezuelans are not, including a lot of Venezuelan soldiers. We are just going to do special op shit and CIA niggers will eventually pull off a coup. Some Venezuelan general apparently just defected and we'll probably be sending him back to be our new puppet leader in a year or two.

>>516647447
Not on one tank of gas, but they refuel along the way. Or they offload the drugs to another boat that takes it farther along in a chain.

>>516648156
He'll only do that if European governments don't start arresting them. He's not going to drone Antifa inside US borders. No need when the the FBI and SWAT can just arrest them.

>>516657050
Most (80%+) of the drugs (cocaine) that enter the US go through Ecuador's ports, the country your government is allied with. Daniel Noboa (president) uses his literal banana company to get the coke into Europe, even. You (CIA) did the same in Afghanistan.
You want Venezuela out because you want the oil, the slave labor to suppress US wages and to contain foreign influence in south America.
Also, you couldn't deal with the Houthis. It's far from certain you can deal with Venezuelans.

>>516657292
If the mutts manage to drop ISIS veterans, the cartel veterans that fought in Ukraine, all of those excons into South America, it's very possible they can topple the Vennies.

>No need when the the FBI and SWAT can just arrest them.
droning a bus full of antifa shitlib trannies would be way better than a boat full of shitskins

>>516651983
He's deporting them as fast as he can.
>But muh Obama deported more
He turned away more at the border, and counted those as deportations. If those count then so do the self-deportations Trump is causing as he rounds up illegals every day and has everyone so scared. Meanwhile, nobody's even trying to cross the border anymore and he's ended as many programs as he can that Obama and Biden used to legalize as many illegals as they possibly could, and he's deporting all of them now too. He just succeeded at getting a massive funding increase to hire huge numbers of more ICE agents and they're now vetting 150,000 volunteers and will start training them and getting them out into the field soon.
>Two more week!
Yes, it takes time to make sure the people getting hired aren't lefties or working for the cartels, or just fat. Then they have to get trained and equipped. When that's done there will be 3x as many ICE enforcement agents as there currently are, for 3x as many enforcement actions. He's also finally starting to prosecute employers.

>>516660375
A hellfire missile is just a little short-range rocket that can follow a laser pointer. The ones we're using now we bought a long time ago, and need to be replaced anyway. They don't cost as much as a cruise missile that has 6 different guidance sensors, an autonomous AI, stealth capability, ECM, travels thousands of miles, and has its own jet engine like a miniature fucking fighter plane on a one way trip.
It costs millions to federally prosecute these drug smuggling cases.
Why even lie about this shit? The costs aren't state secrets. You're not fooling anyone.

>>516656255
And probably we should figure out a deal with the next sultan to stop migrants from Asia.

Yeah IDK how I feel here. I thought you were only allowed to do this to pirates. This seems clearly illegal and not allowed under maritime law.

>>516652373
US has no jurisdiction to enforce it's laws outside it's territorial waters. No country does. I am pretty sure you can't go around blowing up boats because they may or may not be carrying drugs. Are drugs even illegal in the country they left?

Furthermore, this is in the central Atlantic, these vessels need to go like 1,000 miles if not more to even get close to the US and probably aren;t headed directly there. We have a coast guard for this, if the vessel gets close to our shores. The whole thing is ridiculous.

>>516652044
I think that's half the point. Discourage sea drug routes and force them on land.

>I am pretty sure you can't go around blowing up boats because they may or may not be carrying drugs.
Negro, we've essentially been doing this kind of shit all over the world since at least the 1950s. We haven't declared war since 1941, but we've been engaged military action everywhere without permission nearly constantly.

>>516665385
Allowed by who?
>>516665649
This isn't a law enforcement action, it's a military action.
>>516665802
Yeah, I think that's a big part of the strategy, force the cartels to try and move stuff through the ports where inspectors have a chance of catching it.
>>516665910
Potent, sure, but still small, short range,not particularly sophisticated, and above all: cheap.
And yet it would still be cheaper to shoot a Tomahawk at these boats than to actually prosecute a federal drug smuggling case. So, really, who cares?

>>516640033 (OP)
If they can follow the boats with satellites, why don't they just track the boat all the way to the US, see where they dock, track them to whoever is distributing the drugs once they land in the States, then round them all up?

>>516666202
Who ever said we haven't already done that to prior shipments?
And we've tried the whole arresting street dealers thing. It hasn't stopped inner city niggers from signing up to be street dealers. It hasn't had any positive impact on anyone. It's time we try something new like just killing off the supply.

even if they were, is that a death sentence?

the us coast guard exists for a reason, to interdict these kinds of boats and arrest the people inside them if they are transporting illicit substances. That's like a huge part of what the coast guard does these days. Why are we drone striking them ambiguously instead of using the actual force that exists to go after these people to go after them?

>>516666479
Yes, belonging to a terrorist organization is a death sentence. Tell your friends.

Because we tried that and it doesn't work.

>>516666202
Killing the smugglers themselves is a great deterrent. Doing with a big boom is pretty fun to watch, too. I'd still be satisfied with a rain storm from a minigun, but I'll take whatever President Trump will give me. I actually wish he would have nuked the hurricane. I'm curious if that would be enough to interrupt the currents creating the storm or if Mother Nature would even notice.

>>516666651
There was talk of maybe bringing the A-10s out of retirement and using them against drug boats, which would be pretty kino, but honestly I think this works just fine.
The real war is happening where it can't be seen. Those amphibious assault ships off the coast of Venezuela are the ideal bases for special ops and the CIA to go in and out conducting covert missions. And if they get in trouble the Marines can act as quick reaction force to help out. I bet we have a whole lot of Special Forces and SEALs and CIA Ground Branch guys all over the cartel routes now in Venezuela, and everything that happens can just be attributable to rival cartels fighting over turf. Trump has already stated outright that we're going to be blowing up drug shipments on land, too.
And the reason we have so many ships and planes out there is to collect all sorts of SIGINT on the Maduro regime and the cartels. Drug boats are just targets of opportunity. We're sucking up all their comms, getting their cell phone numbers, tracking them around the country.
Oh yeah, and a Venezuelan general just defected.

>>516667938
We're also deeply imbedded (or at least were during my time) with the Colombian military. Of course, anything you do with them is immediately reported to the FARC, but they were still an asset most of the time.

>>516668590
If the US government policy was to take all seized drugs and smuggle them into China or Israel or the Indian subhumancontinent, or really any part of Africa or the Middle East, I really wouldn't mind.
Maybe that's the ultimate solution to all of this. Make a deal with the cartels. We won't kill them all if they just keep the drugs entirely out of the Americas and Europe. Just sell to the shitskins and chink commies and leave the rest of us alone. They get to keep making money, and we get to have safe and clean cities. And the sandniggers and chinks would do a lot worse to their drug dealers, but the cartels wouldn't care.

>>516668962
NO DEAL

STEAL THEIR DRUGS AND MAKE MONEY BY SELLING IN REVENGE TO COUNTRIES WHO BRIGN DRUGS HERE

IF THEY WANT IT TO STOP THEN THEY SOTP

THEN SELL AT HOME TO EVIL RETARDED SHITS AND TAKE THE MONEY

>They get to keep making money
STEAL
THE
DRUGS

FUCK THESE ASSHATS LMAO. STEAL EVERYTHING YOU KNOW THEY DESERVE IT THESE EVIL SHITS; STEAL EVERYTHING

How to stop drugs? steal their drugs and sell it and rake all the money ! french GENIUS in real time WTF

>>516666085
So we are using the military to attack literal civilians? This is not how you are supposed to resolve these matters and there are ulterior motives to all of this.

It doesn't matter if they are drug dealers or gangs. They are literally thousands of miles away. These actions make US the gang, the US shouldn't be doing this. I honestly do not see the justification and we are supposed to be a model nation.

>>516669233
wahh im cryign waaah this is so sad waaah let me deal drugs LOOOOOL DIE BITCH

>>516669233
>This is not how you are supposed to resolve these matters
Every other way has failed.

>>516669422
Because previous administration LET drugs in. Imagine this. We have a country thousands of miles away, separated by oceans and multiple countries. The only way to resolve this is to bomb other civilians and nations? LOL. This is a horrible precedent, bombing ships under the accusation of carrying drugs in another continent.

>>516669233
>So we are using the military to attack literal civilians?
We are using the military to attack literal terrorists. Terrorists, as illegal combatants who don't wear uniforms, are not soldiers, correct. They are civilians. But by violating the normal rules of war they can be executed the same way spies and saboteurs are when detected. This is how wars have been fought for centuries. Before that, we'd just kill them for not being the same race as us or for speaking the wrong language.
Now, if the terrorists want to be treated as soldiers, and get the POW treatment, they should put on uniforms, Maduro should declare a formal war, and we will take them prisoner as lawful combatants when they surrender. And if they don't surrender, they get the same exact death.
>This is not how you are supposed to
Who says?

>>516669590
the biggest sin was to not steal them to slel them yourselves. you could make a lot of money and instead you let them make the money. i think is because politicians want a supply of coke for themselves. they need like a safe line or something but they dont want legal repercussions so they let them do it.

BUT you could steal the drugs, sell them and then the poltiicians could still buy their coke

>>516669316
Kek but we should be deporting illegals and dealing with domestic issues, we have lots of problems. All the ships shown could never make it into our waters undetected.

We should deploy the national guard to the border and find every single tunnel, every single breach and hole. Cartels operate in northern Mexico and traffick drugs and people across the border. This is what we should be concerned with.

>>516669712
Terrorism has a strict legal definition. Literally the infliction of direct violence to incite terror for political purposes, to influence politics.

you re right that they should have stolen the drugs THEN shoot them in the head that was a waste of precious missile and cocaine

>>516669944
300,000 American deaths every year from chemical weapon attacks. Under the US legal definition, which is the only definition that applies to the US, TdA qualifies as terrorists and are being exterminated like they deserve.

Then WHY isn't Mayorkas in jail? You guys are all being played, this is classic. Now we need more wars, but the people responsible for willingly opening the border walk free? That is 12 million illegals, countless drugs and a key role in the conspiracy against Trump's life in Butler PA where he almost died. Crazy.

>>516670098
Without a flag, there is no country that can legally complain about it. And why should anyone complain? Why are you complaining? They are fucking narcoterrorists. I respect sandniggers more, they at least think they're fighting for some cause and are willing to die for it, even if their tactics are retarded and their beliefs are vile. These retards are just greedy and want to get rich on human misery. They're nihilists. Fuck 'em.

couple years ago a similar sized boat seized by the Colombian navy estimated to have around 3 tons of drugs on it worth around $100 million, picrel

>>516671160
The US legally cannot blow ships up in international waters because they were suspected of carrying drugs. These boats are thousands of miles away anon. We can stop them if they enter our territorial waters.

Imagine believing that you can go around bombing other nations because they might have drugs there. That's almost every nation.

>>516670987
>OMG this dingy boat 3,000 miles away might have drugs on it
Just do nothing, if they enter your waters and do not stop, then shoot them by helicopter or deck gun.

>>516670440
For the eleventy-first time, it's more expensive to arrest and prosecute them. Blowing them up at sea is the most cost-effective option. It costs less to blow them up than just letting the drugs arrive on our shores, because of the damage they do if the drugs get here.
>>516670502
>>516670635
We can do both. Why are you so determined to stop one of the two?
>>516670538
These boats cost millions to buy (the engines for) and operate. Nobody uses these for anything other than drug smuggling. Nothing else they can use these for makes economic sense. Nobody serious is disputing what these boats are carrying. It's just retards online and lying politicians claiming otherwise, and you have to be Indian-tier IQ to believe them.
>>516670641
No, it actually doesn't. MQ-9s cost less than $5,000 an hour. They're very efficient and can loiter for very long times on very little fuel. That's the whole point of having them and using them, they're very cheap.
>>516670764
Okay then, don't worry about it.

>>516670835
The US is not a party to the ICC, and by law the US military must invade the fucking Netherlands if they ever even try to try an American there.

You do it then. Tell your faggot Macron and his tranny geriatric husband to go and steal the drugs.
>>516671254

>>516671400
Again, who the fuck said anything about the law? This is a military action.

>>516671553
i would if i could. if im elected emperor by the muslim diaspora ill steal all the drugs. ill hire kids to steal from gypsises in subway.

btw thats not a good answe rit just means you dont know what to say. if you can kill with missile why not with regular guns? you say that shit about old missiles and practice like theres not enough shit going on i nthe world right now

>>516671553
A military action against non-combatants, non-terrorist, suspected civilian drug smugglers thousands of miles away form the US in international waters? I don't think it works that way.

>>516647457
This. We are literally bombing boats with little range

>>516671783
cartel ar emilitary they have cars guns etc that they bragged about. shit military but still military. play military games get military prizes

>>516647457
>unless they are carrying only fuel in storage
you just answered yourself bruv

>>516671881
That's not how it works. You can't take a criminal gang then say some fucking boat in south America that probably too small to safely cross the ocean is a "military" target. This is literally one of the key functions of the US coast guard, interdict drug smuggling vessels but these were thousands of miles away. It's like nobody here can think in this thread.

>>516671400
You seem confused.
Trump has already sent a massive navy there which has created a detection grid for submersibles and blocked their usual routes.
Now they are forced into trying to smuggle via Trinidad corridor and obv Trump made some agreement with Trinidad to blow these boats out of the water once they exit Venezuelan waters and briefly enter intl waters.

The government of Vz is involved in the smuggling directly that's why he's doing this. The next escalation will be the navy boarding and inspecting all cargo ships that leave Venezuela then finally Maduro will cave and agree to take back deportees and probably even get an oil deal out of it "I'll stop boarding your ships if you sell us diesel at 40% discount, best I can do"

>>516671366
>steal occaine sell cocaine you literally make money
oh i get it, you're just a tranny drug addict who is mad his cocaine prices are going to start going way up.

>>516672041
bro you government has spent trillions and trillions mo murder millions of random civillians in the middle east for the sake of Israel.

free your country from israeli occupation, become independant again and then worry about boats full of browns obviously carrying drugs. if they dont have enough fuel to get to a coast then they re going to die after eating each other this was mercy kill also ther eis no freedom and your president is blackmailed by jews and your gov and jews carry false flag terrorist attack to kill americans

>>516672233
i never did drug in my fuckin life i just dont see why we shouldnt sell their coke degen retards aregoign to buy them anyway us might as well make money instead of cartel torturers?

>>516671718
Go-fast boats are by definition fast. We don't necessarily have a boat nearby to intercept and board them. We have boarded a couple boats in recent days too, when Coast Guard were the nearest ones. But if all we have is a drone overhead they're going to get fucking droned.
I would be in favor of withdrawing the Coast Guard completely, and just having more drones overhead. Arrest shouldn't even be an option for these animals.
>>516671783
They are legally defined as illegal combatants, terrorists, and we can take military action against them as much as we want.
If you dislike it, stop being retarded and saying obvious lies about it, and instead argue that it's a bad idea because it will risk whatever or escalate to whatever. Don't fucking try to gaslight about muh international law.
>>516671832
They have as much range as they have fuel. And they refuel along the way. They aren't just taking drugs out into the Gulf of America to drop them into the sea and turn back.
>>516671881
This cartel even has an air force.

>>516672044
We're probably not getting the full story even there and IDK if Trump is either. The US has sanctioned many nations, like Syria. Syria got demonized and accused of selling some sort of gray market pharmaceutical or some weird chemical that was like a drug or something, but this is only after they were literally fighting to the death against ISIS and the US took over it's eastern oil fields, FORCING them to do this for literal survival. Think about that for a second then get back to me. We can secure our border but I think this is being used as an ulterior motive for more wars and more regime change.

Why should we tolerate a regime in our hemisphere that is both communist and a drug cartel, and helps China kill 300,000 Americans every year? If we're going to change any regime, we should do it when it directly is in our interests, in our own fucking backyard.
>>516672528
It's not cheaper, because we'd have to prosecute them. That costs way more money than simply blowing up their boats.

>>516672314
Cartels already have methods of avoiding patrols and navy/coast guard plus they aren't scared of arrest because eventually they'll just be deported or swapped for whatever Americans in a Caracas jail.
Nobody expects a stealth drone though that's a complete game changer

Fuck 'm.

>>516672696
So we own the entire hemisphere? Our priority here is going around intervening in South America when this is a border issue?

Think of all the countries the US has invaded in the last 20 years and the disastrous consequences. Were they in our back yard too? So all it takes is the accusation of producing drugs and we can bomb people? So we have a license to bomb the entirety of south and central America then? But we can't prosecute people criminally holding our border open? Interesting.

>>516640134
Worth every penny. Killed the traffickers too. Every time this happens, it discourages future traffickers. It didnt cost $20M , but even if it did I'd support it. $20M is less than a drop in the bucket for USG budget. Id rather my tax dollars go to killing drug traffickers than some bs social program.

>>516640108

>>516640605
Not sure exactly and DoW isnt going to reveal what exactly theyre doing to kill them. But its effective and I like that Trump posts the kino online for everyone to see

>>516673081
everywhere is our backyard because we own everything. we are in charge of everything. we decide everything. the rest of the world exists because we graciously allow them to exist. they don't own things. they borrow them from us. when we bomb them, we expect a thank you sir, may i have another.

>>516641004
They have semi submersibles, not actual subs comparable to USN subs and the semi submersibles get spotted and raided by the coast guard

>>516645594
Double tapped :)

>>516647900
As it should be. Its happening in international waters. No one is going to do shit about it. We'll just keep killing them. They're foreign terrorists and they're going to die

>>516673549
Maybe one day they will declare us terrorists too since laws mean nothing anymore apparently.

>>516655176
The drugs are definitely part of it. Its a poison that foreigners bring in to our country. Trump is not pro drugs. War on drugs to him means literally killing drug traffickers

Yes. This hemisphere is ours. It's what's best for the whole hemisphere which is why most of South America actually supports this.
Again, we can do more than one thing. I agree we should hold people criminally liable for the last many decades of border policies. Why are you so against us also bombing the cartel boats?
>>516673291
I think this latest strike was a hellfire. But the first one we saw might've been a mini torpedo. They were really coy about what it was and that makes me think we were testing the Manta Ray or some other undersea platform we plan to use against China if they attack Taiwan.
>>516673387
We have at least one fast attack submarine in the waters off Venezuela. Their sonar definitely is picking up everything. Nothing is getting through under the water. Surface targets we still have to identify.
>>516673681
They already have. Have you not heard any of Maduro's speeches? They think they're at war with us which is why they have been deliberately killing 300,000 of us a year.

>>516673681
Do you sell drugs? Are you involved with the cartels? Or is this just your blackpill cuck fantasy to justify taking no action against narco terrorists?

This.

Real truth is that the biggest loads (yes) enter these countries via totally separate routes. Shooting some beaners who are stupid enough to even go out in the daylight with $25,000 missile (plus operating costs of flying around 24/7) only tells a story of retardation.
Bread and circus for the fools
Are you not safe now?

>>516674059
Oh OK so if I am disturbed by the fact boats literally in the ocean thousands of miles away are being blown up simply under the accusation of carrying drugs, no proof they are even headed to the US then I am a drug dealer. Better drone strike me in my house now then.

Civilians who choose to be illegal combatants are absolutely a valid military target. And due process was followed. You just (apparently) don't like what process is due, or mistakenly believe a different process is due. They have the same status as fucking ISIS or Al-Qaeda. Maybe you should try to honestly engage with arguments instead of constantly ignoring the facts and gaslighting.
Again, absolutely nobody serious is disputing that these are drug cartel boats. The families of the guys killed on the first boat even admitted they were cartel.
>>516674337
Maduro is going to get regime-changed, but it'll be some kind of coup or special operations force taking him out. We're not actually going to war. We're just gathering the necessary intel and doing covert actions against the cartels, and taking out the occasional drug boat as a target of opportunity so our guys get practice.

>>516674003
you can do whatever you want all the laws are fake and not enforced if you haven't noticed there's literally 30 million people whose name is "illegal" in our country

Venezuela is well known for piracy too nobody takes their ship near that country, 71 attacks just between Trinidad and Venezuela in one year by these same cartel guys who drop off drugs there then smuggle back luxury items for the regime sometimes boarding any fishing vessels they discover and taking hostages to exchange later.

>>516655500
Coast guard has some powerful machine guns. They were smart not to fight back.

>>516640134
We purchase those missiles annually regardless
On taxpayer money.
That they were put to use means less of a loss than if they were not used.
They were made to be a deterrent by being the most lethal, not JUST for use in conflict.

OK thanks, I got worried there. Thank you for sparing my life anon.

>>516674583
This looks pretty illegal and like it violated international law. So the navy is there but we can't even stop the boats, verify they were carrying drugs then charge and arrest them? Really, with the navy? No single piece of evidence they were armed either and I don't believe they ever fired on US ships. So how on earth could this be justified? We could have simply waited for it to travel 1000+ miles to our water (assuming that small boat can even get there) and stop them then, if it was even headed there. This is supposed to be a nation of laws. Maybe there is some justification but this just looked bad.

They actually admit to 53.6 million currently. So it's probably double that.
>>516674769
I know I wouldn't want to fuck with the Coast Guard. Their teams they use for taking boats are very serious, very capable guys. Anyway, like somebody else said, they don't fear our prisons. I know that the Coast Guard is involved with this blockade because the Navy doesn't have enough ships and the Coast Guard guys are already familiar with what's going on down there, but I'd really prefer we pull the Coast Guard back and make this a strictly military operation. Only lethal interdictions.
>>516675039
The missiles do have an expiration date. I'm sure the ones we're using are quite old.
>>516675104
I don't care what you think it looks like, I care what it actually is. And it's not illegal. There is no such thing as international law. If there was, nobody could enforce it against us. These cartels are already breaking the law. We don't need to verify anything because nobody else uses boats like this. But we do have assets on the ground identifying the boats before they even leave dock, and they're telling our drone operators to take them out as soon as they reach international waters. No, we don't need to reveal methods and sources to random anonymous trannies like you. It's justified because they're killing 300,000 Americans every year. It's more expensive if we wait and there's no reason for us to do so. We are a nation of laws and are following them. Nobody cares how you think it looks.

It's not going to be Panama where Bush invaded and arrested Noriega. Trump is doing a behavioral change campaign not a regime change campaign unless Maduro still fucks around then they probably assassinate him.
If you carefully pay attention to what Trump says about these strikes he's basically saying they have local spies in place there to record everything about these shipments including names of the gangsters. That's Trump signaling the glowies have assets there feeding intel and it's only a matter of time until Maduro's location is dropped one day to a reaper drone. Venezuela knows this too and will just capitulate enough that Trump can declare victory then dab on Maduro everyday "well they got a real tough guy in Caracas and he kissed the ring"

It's hard to tell from the drone footage, but yeah, they're buying the really, really big engines. And these boats usually don't even return. It's usually just a one-way trip because it costs more to fuel them all the way back empty just to do another trip. They spend millions on the boat, engines, and fuel, and it's still very profitable because they carry tens of millions in drugs.
>>516675787
The missile costs $150k max. But we're probably using ones we already bought a long time ago for cheaper than that, and they are about to expire. It'll cost us $150k to replace with a new one.
The MQ-9 sortie costs only a few grand on top of the missile cost. But the sortie wasn't to go and blow up a drug boat, the sortie was to suck up a bunch of SIGINT on the Maduro regime, and the boat was just a target of opportunity.
Costs millions to arrest and prosecute in federal court instead.

>>516640291
The people in charge aren't on the boats and they have an infinite supply of runners because the alternative is death at the hands of the cartel. If they wanna scare the cartels they have to bomb the leaders.

>>516676225
you guys have a $100B budget surplus anyway from the tariffs. You're making $27B per month in customs revenues and that figure keeps climbing

>>516640033 (OP)
what the actual fuck is wrong with you Americans... even if they were drug smugglers, don't you think they deserve some kind of trial? most of em are forced by cartels, you're not even killing criminals here, just victims. We're actually fucked, like solidly fucked. I give us 5 years before this earth is glassed.

Nah.

>>516671932
Then it's not drugs?

Yooooooooooooo lol imagine the fish parties happening dowwn there right now lmaooooooo

Only a matter of time until some rich Jew with a speedboat gets droned.

>>516676738
So when you do something wrong and be summarily executed, you better not fucking cry faggot. You think it's funny now but when your own government turns on you you won't.

>>516676743
It's drugs being smuggled to Trinidad which then is put on a cargoship to the US and Europe.
If you payed attention you'd see Trump deployed a massive naval force there so their only route now is via Trinidad

>>516640134
Think of how many people 20k worth of drugs can kill.

>>516676069
The higher the risk the higher the reward.
If cocaine were legal the cartels wouldn't make any money. - note how they're not smuggling alcohol or coffee.

>>516640108
imagine being a fish casually swimming near the boat

>>516640134
stfu
we're saving so much money

>>516677232
>If cocaine were legal the cartels wouldn't make any money
Bullshit. You underestimate how stupid American voters and lawmakers are. They would tax it so much that people would still go the illicit route to save money. That's happening right now with weed.

>>516656327
His first administration was spent dealing with obstruction after obstruction, and now he's bypassed or smashed through most of them.

Even if some of them get through, he acts so quickly that by the time some bureaucrat decides to intervene, the damage is already done and he gets what he wants.

>>516676867
I'm not a foreigner smuggling drugs into the US. I have rights. Narcoterrorists don't have rights.

>>516676069
In this case the Maduro regime/military is the cartel. These boats to Trinidad are sold to cartels who send back cash and luxury items only for the top regime officials. By interfering with this gravy train the guys around Maduro are losing money and this is how every dictatorship ensures loyalty via bribes.

That's why the media is kvetching about the pacific having more drug boats because Trump is directly targeting a drug cartel run regime

>>516677475
All illegal weed is brick shite with mold and hairspray over here.
The legally grown is 3 bucks more per gram but the quality is 100% worth it.
I can't imagine smoking weed that some arab pulled out of a trashbag in his trunk so I can save 10 bucks

>>516677232
Democrats tried legalization, and it just resulted in more addicts and richer cartels. We're trying something new now. If you try to move drugs into he US we just kill you.

>>516677701
also remember when Trump said he would seize oil fields in Syria to deprive the regime of money until they capitulated.... that's his same strategy here. The escalation to this will be boarding and seizing oil shipments that's another reason the navy is there

>>516677668
lmao, your rights are being stripped off as we speak. Keep running your mouth faggot, one day it will be too late and you gonna cry for your mom.

>>516677799
>I can't imagine smoking weed that some arab pulled out of a trashbag in his trunk so I can save 10 bucks
There is a market for cheap bullshit weed in the US because the dudeweeds are societal dregs who smoke all day.

>>516640108
Fish generations from now: There was a big boom, then the entire school started trippin.

>>516678304
My rights were stripped under every Democrat president. Trump hasn't stripped me of any of my rights.

>>516678584
you're so funny dude, har har.

>>516678802
did I mention dems anywhere? rent free perhaps?

>>516678935
You mentioned rights being stripped away. Only Democrats have done that. Trump is the only president who has ever restored my rights.

>>516640134
>That missile probably cost $20 million and for what? stopping $20k of drugs from entering the us?
Obtuse retard. The street value of 1kg of coke is upwards of $100k in major cities. A boat like that would be carrying hundreds of kilograms typically. Some of the bigger busts from boats have been well over a ton.

As for the cost of the missile... we already paid for it. We can afford it. And saving American lives is priceless. And sending a message to drug running spics is also priceless. They will have to go back to using submarines or die every single time.

The US can afford to shoot all the missiles it wants to

>>516677963
We already have been seizing oil shipments. Long before this current build-up. We seize oil shipments all the time. Last big one I remember was way out in Asia somewhere, but the oil came from Venezuela. That's nothing new.

>>516677800
>Democrats tried legalization
AFAIK they only actually legalized weed. (and alcohol in the 1940's).
And weed and alcohol don't seem to be your major problems.

>>516680153
There is de facto legalization even on the hard drugs now. But legalizing weed proved that it is in fact a gateway drug and got a lot more people hooked on harder stuff as a result, which is now also basically legal because nobody goes to jail for selling or possessing it anymore in most Democrat-run areas. The prosecutors don't prosecute and the judges won't hold anyone. It's a fucking disaster. It's not the solution.

>Summary attacks on civilians and ships not engaged in piracy

>>516679457
remind me, which rights your faggoty orange man restored again? oh right none, cause all he did was remove rights.

>>516680543
You keep trying this false framing instead of engaging in good faith.
>>516680612
You're a leaf from India so you wouldn't understand even if I told you. You don't know what rights are. Of course you still haven't named any right that I've supposedly lost.

>>516680391
Wouldn't be a problem if you just let the junkies die instead of reviving them with narcan 4 times a day.
If we just looked the other way for a year we'd be done with it forever.

>>516680772
riiight. ok then, enjoy your day.

>>516680935
Thanks, I am!
>Still no mention of what rights I've lost under Trump.

>>516681029
I asked first and you deflected so here we are, running around in circle. Answer my question and I'll consider answering yours.

>>516680772
OK. Show how the said ships were non-civilians and/or engaged in piracy then.

You are the idiot who was laughing at the goat farmers in 2003.

>>516681206
You can't even define rights, and we're at the bump limit. This is pointless. I'm just mocking you for making such a silly hysterical concern troll, as you stink up Canada and as cartel boats are getting blown up which makes you seethe for some reason. I'm having a wonderful time.

Trump is too much of a fag to do things that actually matter, like standing side by side with NATO allies against Russia so instead he's busy bullying 3rd world countries inorder to get some chuckles out of bitter trumpchuds online.

>>516681552
Europe doesn't matter. 3rd world Russia doesn't matter. The fact that Trump doesn't care about you is proof that you are irrelevant. The sole global superpower and hegemon hasn't cared about Europe in decades. We only care about fucking over China so they can't meaningfully challenge us, which Venezuela is a key battleground. Nothing in Europe matters to any of that. Russia can have you if they want, who cares?
