Trump_is_Mentally_fit Posted Monday at 01:18 PM Posted Monday at 01:18 PM Drug are going to get more expensive, too! So much for no more endless wars, this is a war that will never end if it actually begins https://www.nytimes.com/2025/08/08/us/trump-military-drug-cartels.html President Trump has secretly signed a directive to the Pentagon to begin using military force against certain Latin American drug cartels that his administration has deemed terrorist organizations, according to people familiar with the matter. The decision to bring the American military into the fight is the most aggressive step so far in the administration’s escalating campaign against the cartels. It signals Mr. Trump’s continued willingness to use military forces to carry out what has primarily been considered a law enforcement responsibility to curb the flow of fentanyl and other illegal drugs. The order provides an official basis for the possibility of direct military operations at sea and on foreign soil against cartels. U.S. military officials have started drawing up options for how the military could go after the groups, the people familiar with the conversations said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive internal deliberations.

sherpa Posted Monday at 04:30 PM Posted Monday at 04:30 PM Once we penetrate borders with military force, like Apaches gunning transports on Mexican highways, or special forces doing stuff outside our geography, we'll see what happens.

Everyone that is down playing the “drug war” because pot has essentially been legalized (biggest mistake of the woke era behind Federal definition of marriage) has clearly never been to an ER. Also these cartels traffic women and minors. And assassinate Presidential candidates. Why are democrats for defending pedo narco drug cartels? Did I do that right?
