How about you do us all a favor and step into the real world.


It's a fact that China sends Fentanyl into America with zero repercussions. Step into the real world and acknowledge that.

Well, i suspect Claudia Sheinbaum may be looking over her shoulder in Mexico. Has been rumored to have substantial cartel backing.



Mexico just slapped a 50% tariff on Chinese cars, steel and other goods. They are clearly already adhering to our wishes in back channels.

I have always been banging the drum for bringing back the Monroe Doctrine. The US needs to continue to use JSOC to clean up the bad actors in the Western Hemisphere and bring it back under US control, away from China.

I couldn't care less about the middle east. The Americas are extremely important to the future of the US.

This is how you fight a war against drugs. Not by supplying needles to addicts or just saying, "No."

I was wondering why ExxonMobil and Chevron stocks were up so much despite oil being down. Exxon made a new 52 week high yesterday. They will get access to the reserves I'm guessing

Unfortunately, this won't have a long term effect on drugs in the US. History has shown that taking out one gang only leads to others quickly replacing that one.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have taken Maduro out but I also don't think this stops drugs in this country.

Maduro should be counting his blessings, fingers and toes. Just six years ago a similar operation left Qasem Soleimani in pieces, quite literally.

At least Maduro is destined for 3 hots and a concrete cot for 23.5 hours a day at an all inclusive Colorado retreat.

If people think MAGA is fractured over support of this, then those people not supporting poorly understand MAGA and those numbers a greatly overstated by the MSM.

World and America is a better place today, just as it was improved dramatically 6 years ago not his same day. Just say thank you to Donald J Trump, protector of American freedom and prosperity. God bless DJT.

Outside of the 'bum rushed' description he used to how Delta got to the Maduro couple, this blast of Scheinbaum is my favorite Trumpism of the weekend so far.

Worth listening to for a chuckle, imho.

Also reporting Congress was not informed ahead of time. Senate armed service committee members reporting they did not know the operation was happening.

You know how we know this is true? Venezuela was surprised.

The warm embrace of collectivism just got a little cooler
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”

Previous US leaders have had the goal of "controlling" the flow of drugs into the US. Trump seems pretty focusing on STOPPING it. Will it work? To be seen but to default to this being just like last time is naive and actually ignores history and what is different this time.

Sure, so my original point remains. Perhaps with Monroe Doctrine 2.0 Mexico will fall in line but as of right now the Chinese get away with killin Americans.

I hope he stays here in American and runs for office. He'd have my vote. He gets it at a core level.

Always fun to see how the liberal, Trump haters respond.

Maddow is smeltering (amidst some good points) - fails to understand the operational importance of the strike.

But she/he seems more irritated that Trump called Fox before he addressed the nation than anything.

So The Today Show covering the drug running terrorist being arrested by the U.S, with constant digs about the legality and completely throwing shade on the Trump Admin.




meanwhile Venezuelans forced out of the country on this live stream celebrating for hours in the streets of Chile. I ****IN HATE THE CS'ers of th U.S. media. I would love to make them go live in Somalia if I could!!!

Article from 4 days ago on China's intent to get power in Latin America. How timely.

Again, this is why we are doing what we are doing and if you want to just sit by and let China take over our southern neighbors then you are an idiot or want it to happen. This little action will remind them that they can't just waltz in here and take what they want.

https://www.wsj.com/world/americas/china-signals-it-wont-give-an-inch-to-the-u-s-in-latin-america-ba03bd24?st=R1ZWpN&reflink=article_copyURL_share

China intends to keep playing in the U.S. backyard, Latin America.

Less than a week after the release of the U.S. strategy in December, Beijing issued a little-noticed policy paper on Latin America and the Caribbean that geopolitical analysts say foreshadows more U.S.-China jostling for regional influence.

Washington is concerned about Chinese efforts to develop a global network of "strategic support points" that would turn ports into logistics hubs for its military, including a node in Cuba.

"China has always stood in solidarity through thick and thin with the Global South, including Latin America and the Caribbean," said the 6,700-word policy paper, China's first on the region in almost a decade. The paper cites how a "significant shift is taking place in the international balance of power," terminology Chinese leader Xi Jinping uses to allege that the era of U.S. global supremacy is ending.


China wishcasting military ops in our backyard.

Quote:
Beijing recently sent a provocative message when state media showed a wargame simulation in the Western Hemisphere. Government broadcaster China Central Television said the computer-based wargames were meant to demonstrate human-machine collaboration strategies, but they also showed Chinese "red" forces facing off against "blue" ships and aircraft around Cuba and Mexico.

So much for the warmth of collectivism, back to the frigidity of rugged individualism.

They already have access, that's why they put up a fight with the Hess merger.
