Yep, somehow we weren't feeling the need to execute these people in the past.  Not sure what changed in the past 2-3 months.

I'm not telling anyone anything they don't already know, but it's simple and simplistic.

The Drug War is a failure to date.  Drugs are a big problem here (and likely will continue to be one until we seriously address the demand side of it).

A simplistic view of it is we're not doing enough, we're insufficiently warlike in the War.

So, it'd be really cool if we employed some air power, guided munitions, and maybe some tanks against the cartels in Mexico and elsewhere.  America, fuck yeah!

But, there are massive diplomatic and international real-world problems with doing that.  Violations of sovereignty and such inconvenient, globalist commie notions.

So, this is a chickenshit and even less effective way of escalating the Drug War into something resembling an actual war.

It's this, without claymation:

Terrorist your game is through cause now you have to answer to
America, F*ck YEAH!
So lick my butt, and suck on my balls,
America, F*ck YEAH!
What you going to do when we come for you now,
It’s the dream that we all share; it’s the hope for tomorrow

F*ck YEAH!

McDonalds, F*ck YEAH!
Wal-Mart, F*ck YEAH!
The Gap, F*ck YEAH!
Baseball, F*ck YEAH!
NFL, F*ck, YEAH!
Rock and roll, F*ck YEAH!
The Internet, F*ck YEAH!
Slavery, F*ck YEAH!

Weird how no reporter has asked, "Since when is the punishment for drug trafficking death without trial?"

Cops have been summarily executing people for shit like selling cigarettes for decades, so ... forever?

A lot is being made of the second strike, but the first strike was pretty goddamned fucked up, too.

I think it's largely because while the first strike was illegal, it was within the general "shape" and norms of armed conflict. The second strike breaks every norm of lawful armed conflict, and actively makes US sailors less safe at sea. If we were to enter a naval conflict, our adversaries have precedent to airstrike shipwrecked sailors. AND it's fucking ghoulish.

It's what we have more to look forward to, I'm afraid. Who is gonna stop them? The supreme court? They're purging any officer, no matter that rank or service record, that disagrees with them

Yeah, we've been kind of dicking around with international law in our various undeclared wars against non-state enemies for a long time.

But the second strike is beyond the pale.

I just don't want the bullshit of the first strike to be normalized. 

Welcome to the firehose of bullshit. It's the main mechanism used by Putin and other totalitarian leaders to keep pressing forward. 

The pace of oppression outstrips our ability to understand it. The unrelenting torrent of evil keeps pushing the door open further for more evil.

Man the video must be far worse than we thought.  If it had exonerated them we would have seen it already.  

Since it took four fucking strikes to do the job, id imagine they're not keen to show the poor marksmanship

If this allows me to make a "Sabbatical to Venezuela to find myself" thread, I just might -- might! -- be on board.

If we take out Maduro it could turn into what Iraq looked like after we took down their government and left a power vacuum for a while, just with cartels and various other groups. Iraq in 2025 is like on their 8th or 9th government since we took out Saddam, and for a long time they were bouncing back and forth between governments trying to reform the country and governments just trying to keep the lights on and water flowing. 

So you might be waiting a decade or more to go on that sabbatical.
