To be MAGA in 2025, you have to be gullible enough to believe that a convicted felon who launched a violent coup attempt is worried about crime.

Er... that's ridiculous mate.

The authorities had incontrovertible proof; they knew what was onboard and who the individuals were, as well as the "gang" they belonged to.

Law-enforcement shit's allowed to go down in the world that you and I haven't vetted and given our approval for first, you know.
 
You would think if their goal was to get this cartel, wouldn't it make sense to stop the boat, arrest the people on it, and interrogate them for information about their connections? Are they just gonna blow up every boat in the Caribbean?

Please post the incontrovertible proof, mate.
 
Michael Becker of Trinity College Dublin told BBC Verify that the US actions "stretches the meaning of the term beyond its breaking point".

"The fact that US officials describe the individuals killed by the US strike as narco-terrorists does not transform them into lawful military targets," he said. "The US is not engaged in an armed conflict with Venezuela or the Tren de Aragua criminal organization."

"Not only does the strike appear to have violated the prohibition on the use of force, it also runs afoul of the right to life under international human rights law."

Prof Moffett said that the use of force in this case could amount to an "extrajudicial arbitrary killing" and "a fundamental violation of human rights".

"Labelling everyone a terrorist does not make them a lawful target and enables states to side-step international law," he said.

Notre Dame Law School Professor Mary Ellen O'Connell told BBC Verify that the strike "violated fundamental principles of international law", adding: "Intentional killing outside armed conflict hostilities is unlawful unless it is to save a life immediately."

"Sometimes armed groups waging war against governments deal in drugs to pay for their participation in conflict. There is no evidence the gang President Trump targeted is such a group."
 
Yeah I get that mate.

Ridiculous mate. I already made the point.

If the investigative authorities say it was incontrovertible, I'm happy to take them at their word. They're the authorities, not you or I.

Firstly, there's this thing called a deterrent.

Secondly, they've stated many times that since the terrorist-organisation proclamation, they're technically at-war with them. So far no pushback from the V gubment.

There's a lot of "we" and "you guys" thrown around in couch boy's posts. It's all so confusing since he's not from the US but is absolutely obsessed with US politics.

As much as he's into US politics and bitches about it and Trump, I'm suspecting he's actually from the US and just pretending to be foreign. I can't fathom how someone from another country could be so angered by stuff in the US that doesn't affect them.

Faggot wasn’t demanding proof when Obama drone striked mother fuckers. He’s as obviously TDS infected as the media. Every fucking day 10 new anti trump screeds. And not just from MSLSD and The Guardian. USA Today and the big 3. These mother fuckers learned nothing from November. The media has a lower rating than congress. And JD quotes their dumb shit as if anyone gives a fuck what they say. He’s a fucking retard.
