No genius. what I just explained is that those who help drug traffickers are criminals, and criminals are subject to law enforcement, not a military strike.
Do you understand the difference between how we deal with criminals vs how we deal with enemy combatants? Yes or No?
I'm not sure if you are not paying attention or you are simply dodging my arguments in order to "win". I remind you that this is a forum where all the posters put forth their arguments for consideration, though you don't give a sht about our arguments.
I said that Venezuela set up a plan to send drugs to the US in order to undermine their society. I also said that behind this plan is Cuba, a communist country. Furthermore, Russia and Hezbollah (the armed wing of Iran) also participate in these actions to weaken the US. So, it's not about "poor sailors" that are helping drug traffickers, it's a whole international organization that uses, among other things, the drug trafficking as a weapon against the US. This is the main argument that Trump uses to consider those muthafuckers as terrorists.
Have you never heard of a devils advocate debate? Pretend that’s what this is. Pretend I am a Trump nut licker who is testing you to see if you can refute dumb left wing talking points. Go on, show us what you got.
I think I know what your problem is. Look, I'm not here wasting my fkn time just to defeat someone. As I said, this is a forum, and what we do here is to interchange ideas in order to find the truth. I'm not here to win anything, this is not a contest. If you want to test your argumentative abilities why don't you just go to the debate section and stop wasting my precious time?
Let me repeat once again; the criticism isn’t that the secretary of defense ordered the strike, it’s that the administration’s account is not trustworthy due to being a silly explanation in its own, being one of multiple different accounts offered, and coming from the most pathological lying administration we’ve ever seen.
As I said, I'm not a lawyer to make a full analysis of something that I barely understand. HOWEVER, my commonsense tells me that a president of the most powerful nation in the world might have a lot of legal advisers behind that tell him what he can do or not. Maybe you should try first to understand Trump's plan for the US and Latin America, so I suggest you to read a recent document the US government released about this matter.
