  1. The US Coast Guard used to do this literally 100+ times a year. They had a helicopter and a sniper, and they would give them a warning, and if they ignored it, the sniper would disable the motors and then a CG ship would swing by and grab the boat and crew, parade them in front of cameras, talk about how many drugs were seized, etc. But when you do that 100+ times a year, the media and the public do not care, because it's boring. So instead, we'll spend millions of dollars in munitions and personnel to do the same job that a Coastie in a helicopter used to do. Only we get to kill them and talk about how badass we are. And Hegseth and Co. get to pretend they are living out the SAS raid in Clear and Present Danger.
  2. You own a sawmill?
  3. The Coast Guard did a great job of catching these people and delivering them for trial and we destroyed the drugs. But that wasn't good enough. It didn't get Whiskey Pete and Miller and MAGA hard.
  4. Remember, they said originally that it was fake news that there was a second strike.
  5. I would like to think it was people in India and Africa, but MAGA is getting hard over killing people in boats from a nation we aren't at war with.
  6. I don't care for Dollar Tree/General/whatever either, but damn, I wouldn't stand around trying to shoo people away from it.
  7. There's also a chance it backfires and American civilians get killed by the cartels, and a more than decent chance Hispanics get upset that he's killing Mexican civilians, and they show up to the polls next November. So it's Venezuela. It feels like about 80% of the plot to Clear and Present Danger, with the exception that we are not doing it covertly. Clancy assumed American Presidents wanting to kill people in South America would be a little bit discreet about it.
  8. Yeah, we hit them hard enough to kill 9 dudes, but the boat was intact enough that the other two dudes were somehow going to flip it over and continue ferrying drugs to the US. Across the Gulf of Mexico.
  9. Yep, replacement theory as national policy.
  10. I'm guessing their strategy here is a little payback for Chechens torturing Ukrainian POWs, a little payback for the TikTok Brigades pretending to fight in Ukraine and filming themselves attacking Ukraine for Mother Russia and flooding Chechen social media with the videos, and probably more about telling the Chechen people "Hey, your leaders are backing this war in Ukraine, and Putin is not willing to spend on air defenses for you, why would you send your sons and husbands off for this?"
  11. So Netflix may end up buying Warner Brothers/HBO Max/Newline Cinema. Not sure what to think, other than give me Ye Olde Cinemax Friday After Dark/Max After Dark, Real Sex, all of the HBO mini-series, etc.
  12. So they may have been trying to hit the FSB building, and some electronic interference sent it into the building on the 500 ruble bill, lol.
