War on Drugs
Forums:
Not the band (they are good), but the policy. The US military took it to the next level by blowing a small motorboat out of the water off the coast of Venezuela today, killing all 11 people on board. No effort to stop the boat, arrest the smugglers, or seize the illicit cargo. Just a drone and missile.
Regardless of what you think of drug smugglers, the extrajudicial summary execution of 11 people at the hands of the US military doesn't seem right.

I was gonna' say that boat
I was gonna' say that boat was probably just competition to MAGA interests, but much more likely it's just another example of a contrived (illegal?) and dramatic show of "We're damned tough on crime!" that gets the MAGA media & base excited, while in reality 50 more boats and 50 more planes and 50 more ships loaded with drugs and cartel illegals continue to flow in untouched and the borders remain wide open to crime & criminals..... because the fix is in.
As it always has been, and always will be.
There's a reason they call it "organized crime".
This is just another cheap, mean-spirited and ultimately empty MAGA show, and once again people are dead because of it.
On it goes?

Why would you have 11 people
Why would you have 11 people on a small drug smuggling boat?

Greetings
This is the Secretary of War
At the State Department of the United States
We have a problem
The companies want something done
About this sluggish world economic situation
Profits have been running a little thin lately and we
We need to stimulate some growth
Now we know
There's an alarmingly high number of young people
Roaming around in your country with nothing to do
But stir up trouble for the police and damage private property
It doesn't look like they'll ever get a job
It's about time we did something constructive with these people
We've got thousands of 'em here too
They're crawling all over
The companies think it's time we all sit down
Have a serious get-together and start another war
The President?
He loves the idea!
All those missiles streaming over-head to-an-fro... napalm...
People running down the road, skin on fire...
The soviets seem up for it...
The Kremlin's been itching for the real thing for years
One little goin' away present for Mr. President
Hell, Afghanistan's no fun
So whadya say?
We don't even have to win this war
We just want to cut down on some of this excess population
Now look, just start up a draft
Draft as many of those people as you can
We'll call up every last youngster we can get our hands on
Give 'em an hour or two to learn how to use an automatic rifle
And send 'em on their way
El Salvador?
How 'bout Northern Ireland?
Or a "moderately repressive regime" in South America?
We'll just cook up a good Soviet threat story in the Middle East
We need that oil
We had Libya all ready to go
And Colonel Khadafy's hit squad didn't even show up
I tell ya, that man is unreliable
The Russian Kremlin had their fingers on the button
Just like we did for that one
Now just think for a minute
We can make this war so big, so big
The more people we kill in this war
The more the economy will prosper
We can get rid of practically everybody on your dole queue
If we plan this right
Take every loafer on welfare right off our computer rolls
Now don't worry about demonstrations
Just pump up your drug supply
So many people have hooked themselves on heroin and amphetamines
Since we took over
It's just like Vietnam
We had everybody so busy with LSD they never got too strong
Kept the war functioning just fine
It's easy
We've got our college kids so interested in beer
They don't even care if we start manufacturing germ bombs again
Put a nuclear stockpile in their back yard
They wouldn't even know what it looked like
So how 'bout it?
I mean, look, war is money
The arms manufacturers tell me unless
We get our bomb factories up to full production
The whole economy is going to collapse
The Soviets are in the same boat
We all agree the time has come for the big one, so whadya say?!?
That's excellent
We knew you'd agree
The companies will be very pleased

^^^missing Margaret Thatcher's moans and groans and East Bay Ray's sick guitar lines.
And I don't remember Crockett and Tubbs needing drones and missiles to catch the drug runners - just fast cars, designer outfits, and a rocking soundtrack. Wonder of the would have blown Jimmy Buffett out of the water for running his share of grass?
