Yes.

Big fan of Tom Clancy - Clear and Present Danger was one of my favorite.

Hard to go wrong with Harrison Ford, Willem Dafoe, Anne Archer, and James Earl Jones. Toss in Donald Moffat and Joaquim de Almeida and you have an instant classic.

Maybe but I need more info on the why the rules of engagement changed. Why are we no longer boarding and detaining? Are these boats too hard to catch?

I'd prefer to see evidence myself. However, this is certainly not new for our forces.

West Indies: In the early 19th century, the U.S. Navy and Revenue Marine (a predecessor to the Coast Guard) conducted campaigns to suppress piracy in the Caribbean, particularly after the War of 1812.
Barbary Coast: The Barbary Wars in the early 1800s were fought to stop North African states from capturing U.S. merchant ships and holding crews for ransom.
Somalia: More recently, the U.S. military supported international counter-piracy efforts off the coast of Somalia. The U.S. Navy and Coast Guard have contributed to Task Force 151, which has helped suppress piracy in the region.

Legally? Probably not.

Practically? Probably fine.

Yes.

Hope Trump eventually bombs the living **** out of all the major drug labs throughout central and south America.

Would save the lives of tens of thousnds of Americans.

In theory, maybe, but with this Defense Department, I expect them to be making mistakes and murdering innocents, so no.

Put adults in charge, and sure. Just make sure it is international waters, and don't be bombing boats as provocation towards any single country.

Honest question - when do you believe the adults were last in charge?

I'm pretty sure they aren't drug dealers. Question is whether they were drug dealers.

That isn't the issue. The real issues are 1) which way yields longer lasting results, and 2) which way puts our people in less danger. Also, I'm not allergic to discomfort.

He wasn't spied on. If I ran for president and people advising me had multiple connection points to Iranians, should the FBI open an investigation?

---

Yes, he was. And, no, you do not spy on your opposition unless and until you have no other means available.

Responses are vintage MAGA. Der Leader can never have too much power.

It's actually distrust on your side.

Remember Jade Helm? No amount of explanation was gonna get conservatives to believe the truth.

The great irony is conservatives were outraged at the thought of military deployments which is what is being done in American cities today.

Yes buddy

The politicians you like tell you the truth
