Do you have any disagreement with my comment or just don't like the fact that I have a new account? Because I'm not really sure how someone could look at this as a purposeful distraction from Iran when the US has been doing it for months now. 50 strikes thus far according to the article.

Timbershoe Apr 14, 2026 +1

Brilliant_Pin7484 Apr 14, 2026 -5

Wait is this a distraction from Epstein or Iran or both? You and OP seem to have different opinions here. Regardless, this isn't really a sudden restart. There's been 50 of them according to NBC. And again, do you have any evidence or reason behind this? Because as far as I can tell the only reason seems to be... well actually I don't think you've given much of one. Your reasons are that it was a sudden restart, which is outright false, and that it's controversial. That seems to be true according to yougov, mostly along party lines, but I'm not sure how it's a reason at all. Pretty much any action in current US politics is controversial along party lines. https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/53700-two-thirds-americans-say-drug-smuggling-big-problem-divided-on-boat-attacks-december-5-8-2025-economist-yougov-poll

“Flood the zone” worked during his first term and it’s working again. If everything’s a scandal, none of the scandals get enough attention to matter.

> The ICC… they could absolutely issue arrest warrants. The ICC is opt-in. They only have jurisdiction when either the victim or the perpetrator is a signatory state or the act happened in the territory of a signatory state. The US isn't a signatory and it's not clear what flag these vessels were flying, if any, that might lead to a plausible claim of territorial jurisdiction. > Enforcement is another matter US law actually authorizes the use of force to prevent a US national from being held to answer for any war crime they commit.

TheSleepyTruth Apr 14, 2026 +6

Was it war crimes when Obama struck militants in Libya and ISIL in Syria? There was no trial there either, no congressional approval etc.The cartels have been officially designated terrorist organizations by the US government, no different from ISIL... so legally speaking blowing up a cartel drug boat is no different than blowing up an ISIL truck in Syria. You are free to disagree with the morality of it, but it is legal and well supported by endless precedent throughout decades of US history of striking terrorist and guerilla militant camps in other countries with no trial etc. The argument should be whether or not cartels should be designated terrorist organizations in the first place rather than just criminal organizations, but the historical precedent supporting the legality of military strikes on government designated *terrorist* targets is extensive.

I’m sorry but that’s factually incorrect on multiple fronts. When there were drone strikes there was congressional and UN authorization in many instances allowing for the use of force.

Let's not give the drug user any responsibility here. And by that standard let's start bombing pharma corporate headquarters, booze and cigarette offices...

> Let's not give the drug user any responsibility here. And by that standard let's start bombing pharma corporate headquarters Holy low blow. You’re comparing illegal drug trafficking to medicine manufacturers? Also overdoses and trafficking related violence to people who choose to self-intoxicate are not something you should wish on people. Key word “self”. They’re not hurting anyone but themselves.

How do you know this was drug related? Time and time again it's been shown that they are killing fishermen.

Hmm maybe I was ignorant to that. Can you provide articles covering multiple scenarios of what you’re describing?

To date, the Trump administration has acknowledged at least 33 strikes against boats suspected of transporting narcotics, killing at least 110 people. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have cited intelligence that they claim proves the boats were involved in narcoterrorism or transporting narcotics to the U.S. They've at times said that the people on board were affiliated with specific criminal organizations. They have not publicly offered evidence to support their claims. [Here](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/all-the-u-s-military-strikes-against-alleged-drug-boats)

Thank you for being civilized in a discussion, but where’s the evidence that they did indeed kill innocent people?

Everyone is innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Extrajudicial killings are crimes against humanity.

Did he not get approval from the courts to do this because it’s a threat to the nation? Genuine question, I could be tripping idk.

Did the courts approve murder to people on boats from other countries without any due process? No, I don’t believe so.

There is no death penalty for drug dealing in the US, so no court would ever authorize it. Military action is for actual national security, and this ain't that.

Where is the evidence that they were drug runners? And under what law is the US military allowed to kill non-combatants?

It's classified, we don't know. America just executing people in international water with the only evidence being the word of HEGSETH is absolute insanity

If you are truly looking to be civil, when it comes to the matter of our, or any government killing anyone. The questions should always be where is the proof those people are guilty and not the other way around. Imagine if a loved one of yours was killed by the police, who would be more right, you to questions why the police thought they were guilty, or the police to question you why you think they are innocent?

I mean if my federal government is convinced that someone is trafficking mass amounts of drugs into my country, and claims to have proof, I would trust my government unless given hard evidence to counter their claims. You’d trust alleged drug traffickers over your own government? You’re living in the wrong country then my friend.

alreaytakennameuser Apr 14, 2026 +3

If there’s proof then why haven’t they shared it? If the government is not required to share such proof what stops them from just claiming proof even if they don’t have it. These are all questions you must ask as fully trusting any government, even one you like, is extremely dangerous. Whether R or D it has been shown over the past many decades our government is full of bad actors taking advantage of us. If you love your country then do as your fore fathers wanted and question everything, take nothing at face value, and demand our government be held accountable no matter who they are, same side or not.

Good point about the past, but let me ask you something: genuinely why do you think they would bomb innocent people? For what reason?

alreaytakennameuser Apr 14, 2026 +3

Let’s just say they were drug smugglers, do they still deserve to die without some form of due process? If so then ask yourself this, if every American who also smuggles drugs, or even sells drugs on any level. Do they deserve to die without a trial?

I think anyone trafficking illegal drugs is asking to die and I wouldn’t feel any bit bad about it if they did. In terms of killing them with no evidence, I agree with you.
