America isn't at war.
- gruez 1y agoNot even the "war" on drugs or "war" on terror? Semantic games aside, the precedent for the president engaging in military action without congress declaring war was broken decades before Trump.
- ziml77 1y agoSo? We hated it then and we hate it now.
- wormius 1y agoI love me a good Tu Quoque defense. Keep em coming! I can't remember if we supported him cuz he wasn't the war candidate or we supported him cuz he was or if it even matters and we just make up bullshit excuses for what suits us at the time with whatever is convenient for the given argument...
- hulitu 1y agoThey surely need circus for the plebeians. /s
- ta9000 1y agoTell that to the thousands of parents that lose a kid each year. This trash has to stop making it into the US.
- henry2023 1y agoEveryone talks about stopping drugs entering the border but no one talks about dismantling the extremely efficient logistic network that makes those drugs available in every corner of each major city. I guess it’s easier to blow up random boats in the pacific than prosecuting corrupt officials but is it effective?
- ta9000 1y agoWhy not do both?
- wilg 1y agoBecause it's un-American and murder to kill criminal suspects instead of trying them in a court of law.
- simianparrot 1y agoI would say it's as American as it gets, and in this case justified as well. Do you not know America's history..? Even recent one? Obama ordered drone strikes in foreign countries as well.
- wilg 1y agoWe know it’s not justified because they aren’t enemy combatants.
- Saline9515 1y agoWhat is the difference between this and sending hellfire missiles on Afghanis based on cell phone data, during the Obama administration?
- wilg 1y agoOne is illegal.
- wilg 1y agoLosing a kid doesn't mean America is at war?
- n8henrie 1y agoTo cocaine? By "lose a kid" I assume you mean death and not some euphemism for addiction.
