Trump 47


He's probably not wrong that if you really want to go after cartels a military solution is more effective. It's just that if you are doing it on foreign soil then you have to be very careful and diplomatic about your intentions and this administration is as far from that as they can get. Plus it's Miller saying it so he could be thinking if we take this far enough we can justify military force on gangs in the US and once they do that they will justify domestic military force for anything.

The other thing is cartels are more likely to retaliate on American soil than terrorist organizations. We had one major terrorist attack a quarter century ago (wow on that) and it continues to define how we view foreign adversaries that aren't officially part of a state. The cartels have no problem causing death and destruction in areas of the world they control. It wouldn't be a stretch for them to say screw it and start doing the same here if they think we are going to start hitting them harder than we already do.

But are you really solving the problems how we are attacking small boats? Have you addressed the demand problem at home? Have you disrupted the raw material supply chain? Have you diminished the capacity to manufacture? Have you really disrupted the delivery system? Have you done anything to create havoc w their financial capabilities?

To me what we are doing is a dog and pony show to appease the cult. It’s like most things w this admin and really the younger generation they are trying to indoctrinate. It’s a quick hit that doesn’t address any of the systemic issues.
 
Brendan Carr is threatening the media to cover the war the way the Trump regime wants. It’s one of the most anti-American messages ever posted by a government official.

The truth is this war has been a failure of historic proportions. They don’t want Americans to know that. But we will never stop covering it honestly and with the critical lens that something this serious deserves.

Im just saying cartel compounds can hold their own against local forces but if we dropped a tomahawk on them not so much. This also assumes cost isn't an issue-I don't know if spending a couple of billion to take out a drug lord is worth it but usually with stuff like this administrations don't really think about that.

But yeah I agree that there are a bunch of ways we can impact the drug trade but I suspect this administration doesn't have the desire or brainpower to do many of them. It's easier to just put a boot up their @$$ because that's the American way*.

I wouldn't call it a failure of historic proportions. We don't know what our objectives are so its impossible to tell if we have met them or not.
