- charcircuit 1y agoCZ already paid a fine and finished serving his time in jail. He was already free before the pardon.
- paulryanrogers 1y agoWasn't he barred from working in financial services? I imagine a full pardon would remove any pesky details that might stand in the way.
- harrisi 1y agoIs there any proof that any of the Venezuelan boats were drug dealers? Any proof in court, ideally?
- enraged_camel 1y agoThere is not.
- nailer 1y agoSubmarines generally aren’t fishing.
- nilamo 1y agoAnd we're ok with murdering dozens of people that might maybe have some kind of drugs on them? In peacetime? Without evidence? Outside of our own territory/water? We're lucky Venezuela hasn't attacked us back yet.
- The_President 1y agoYour doubt in US intelligence and military capability shows. Venezuela attacking US assets would result in swift, almost instantaneous elimination of the threat. The speed boats hauling ass in international waters are known smugglers on known routes using customized craft only drug smugglers use. Policy of vaporizing these boats with weapons is both a) fairly effortless target practice for our military and b) puts major financial strain on that drug cartel operation.
- nilamo 1y agoYes, I doubt. The US intelligence has invented intelligence plenty of times in the past, and I absolutely do not trust that particular shadow branch of ICE. Even if what they say is true, destroying boats with people on them without proof is wild.
- The_President 1y agoThe intel is correct, as fentanyl is currently considered an extreme top priority threat to eliminate by the government (due to this being on ongoing operation, information given will be limited.) If this were some false flag or CIA op they'd just stage the boats getting blown up rather than destroy random innocent boaters. There's enough chain of command between the missile and the brass that this action would be executed correctly and with precision.
