Trump: The U.S. Is Now in a War with Drug Cartels

President Trump has decided that the United States is engaged in a formal "armed conflict" with drug cartels his team has labeled terrorist organizations and that suspected smugglers for such groups are "unlawful combatants," the administration said in a confidential notice to Congress this week. The notice was sent to several congressional committees and obtained by The New York Times. It adds new detail to the administration's thinly articulated legal rationale for why three U.S. military strikes the president ordered on boats in the Caribbean Sea last month, killing all 17 people aboard them, should be seen as lawful rather than murder.

"should be seen as lawful rather than murder"

Donald Trump is insane. This is not name-calling. This is reality. His insanity makes him crave wars; blood. Dead fishermen; dead Americans. His insanity insists of the Nobel Peace Prize at the same time.

After the Epstein affair, MAGA said they most cared about having no more wars. I expect to see them surrender on both issues.

In a real war there would be EVIDENCE of who those killed were, and that they actually had drugs in the boats.

Nota Bene: From 1977 to 1981, Nobel Peace Prize awardee Jimmy Carter invaded no country; not one shot was fired during his administration and he returned the Panama Canal to its rightful owners: static01.nyt.com

Pres Trump tries to rename Dept of Defense to Dept of War.

Pres Trump says he has a war on blue cities for ~training~ purposes.

Pres Trump is at war with the drug cartels.

Not the best of looks for a person who seems to crave the Nobel Peace Prize.
