Trump Tells Congress U.S. Is at War With Cartels: What That Means​

President Donald Trump has declared that the U.S. is in a formal “armed conflict” with drug cartels in a confidential notice to Congress.

The notice, obtained by the New York Times, labels suspected drug smugglers as “unlawful combatants,” and seeks to justify the Trump Administration’s three military strikes on civilian vessels in the Caribbean sea last month as part of a sustained active conflict. The strikes, which experts said were likely illegal and amounted to extrajudicious murders, killed a total of 17 people.

Rand Paul: 'All of these people have been blown up without us knowing their name'​

Sen. Rand Paul on Sunday questioned the wisdom and legality of President Donald Trump's policies toward Venezuela and suspected drug dealers coming from its coast.

Speaking on NBC's "Meet the Press," the Kentucky Republican again raised concerns about the legality of the Trump administration's strikes on boats that it claims are carrying drug traffickers, as well as the president's statement that the United States might conduct direct attacks on Venezuela's territory.

What was that missile Argentina had, the Exocet that sank two ships and damaged one? I wonder if the Argentina navy ever forgave us for backstabbing them.
 

U.S. poised to strike military targets in Venezuela in escalation against Maduro regime​

The planned attacks, first reported Thursday night by the Wall Street Journal, will seek to destroy military installations used by the drug-trafficking organization the U.S. says is headed by Venezuelan strongman Nicolás Maduro and run by top members of his regime.

Sources told the Herald that the targets - which could be struck by air in a matter of days or even hours - also aim to decapitate the cartel's hierarchy. U.S. officials believe the cartel exports around 500 tons of cocaine yearly, split between Europe and the United States.

While sources declined to say whether Maduro himself is a target, one of them said his time is running out.

"Maduro is about to find himself trapped and might soon discover that he cannot flee the country even if he decided to," the source said. "What's worse for him, there is now more than one general willing to capture and hand him over, fully aware that one thing is to talk about death, and another to see it coming."

The country was being run by a military junta. Britain was our ally.
