And this is totally indicative of the whole left side. They have a problem with this only because that it’s President Trump doing it and not that it’s right or wrong. The Democratic party needs to be dissolved.

Crazy...we dont know if there are drugs on the boat, but we do know who helped start the opioid crisis here in America, and they are still practicing medicine!

Chuck was wrong in 1986, he said congress unanimously approved it, but no evidence that any boats were decimated Why? Until now and Hegseth didn't have that document during his hearing Why? Still no matter who authority it was, no evidence and actually Murder is the word, so take Trump and Schumer and hall them into court/tribunal for Maritime laws over international waters. All this is barks on stealing oil and expansion of the US under the Monroe Doctrine to steal land, yet he pardoned s Narco known criminal in prison for the same purpose he says they're blowing up drug boats. Somebody explain the madness, oh yes, you can't cause you would be complicit and held liable.

The law specifies that the U S COAST GUARD can approach the vehicle and take them prisoners and bring them to the U S to undergo a legal process. It did not say that the U S military could arbitrarily blow up boats. As a matter of fact ONLY the COAST GUARD was permitted to act in that manner. Also, they can only blow up boats, if those aboard the boat opened fire on the COAST GUARD. It did not say that they can continue to strike the boat if its occupants were rendered harmless Schumer may have introduced the bill, but he couldn’t individually make it a law. As a matter of fact the law was passed unanimously. Why don’t you lis all who voted for it. And even if he could, that doesn’t make it right. Your post reflects the darkness of your soul with a goal to paint a better picture of Donald Trump

billions if not trillions spent on eradicating the drugs coming into the United States. I say blow them up I have no issue, some say Well they're people yes they are people people committing crimes people poisoning our citizens of the United States and then costing the taxpayer Millions if not billions on rehabs, jail, our own medical policies wanting to Band-Aid the drug addicts with things like methadone clean needles, suboxone, and many other drugs. if you cut the source off your eradicating the issue.

I'm sure he did do this, but Mr Schumer also had in mind that those boats were traffickers of drugs. It's the drugs he was after. Not innocent people on boats fishing. Arrest everyone who may have survived the attack.. Not come back and finish them off. Food for thought.

The current administration is not using Schumer’s 1986 law to justify the strikes. Instead, they have designated drug cartels as "Foreign Terrorists." This allows them to use the Law of Armed Conflict (military rules) instead of Maritime Law (police rules).

Not trying to defend Schumer here...that act authorized the Coast Guard to stop, board, arrest, and confiscate but not blow up. It authorized kinetic measures to stop the boat, e.g., shooting the engines. What's the T admin/Secwar is doing now Falls under Section 10

The US Navy doesn't need permission from Congress to board an unflagged ship in international waters. Also maritime law permits deadly force on unflagged ships in international waters that refuse to be boarded. An unflagged ship in international waters has no sovereignty with any country, and can be boarded by any navy in the world. Maritime law is not US law, it's international law recognized by every navy in the world.

theΒ Geneva ConventionsΒ (and their Protocols) specify survivors' rights by mandating humane treatment, protection, and care for those not fighting (civilians, surrendered soldiers, wounded, sick, shipwrecked), prohibiting attacks on them, and forbidding "no survivors" orders, ensuring they are respected, not murdered, tortured, or experimented on, and receive medical/basic needs, even requiring parties to collect and care for them.Β

This is the normal Schraier two-faced aspect of the Congress. What else will he be doing? He has gone in the opposite direction of what he is on record saying for years and years anytime a Republican is in office. He lies about what he said or goes back on it.

The issue isn’t blowing up drug boats. The issue is doing it in international waters. It’s a violation of maritime international water laws.

Wow so the maggots believe that authorization to blow up boats that carry drugs is the same as blowing up fishing boats. Did those dumb asses even look at what they were shooting at? Did they know anything about boats 100 foot boat with an outboard motor would never make it to Florida from Venezuela. Idiots. You know Trump is selling a bridge.
