tRump, who promised no more wars, tells Congress we're at war with drug cartels

[Argent]

This is just another result of what total presidential immunity does in the hands of a madman. He's inching ever closer to filling his basket of excuses to cancel the 2028 election because that election is the keystone to his plot to end democracy. The tRump loyalists who have abdicated their power to the madman are eventually going to reap what they're sowing.

"Geoffrey S. Corn, a retired judge advocate general lawyer who was formerly the Army’s senior adviser for law-of-war issues, said drug cartels were not engaged in “hostilities” — the standard for when there is an armed conflict for legal purposes — against the United States because selling a dangerous product is different from an armed attack.
Noting that it is illegal for the military to deliberately target civilians who are not directly participating in hostilities — even suspected criminals — Mr. Corn called the president’s move an “abuse” that crossed a major legal line.

“This is not stretching the envelope,” he said. “This is shredding it. This is tearing it apart.”

Drug Cartels? That's one "war" I'm completely in favor of.

Sadly, no administration has been able to do anything material that the cartels haven't recovered from.

Of course more $$ needs to be put into reducing the demand.

Ignore the law in more mundane ways that people can live with and even support, and keep moving the needle. That's what authoritarians lie Trump do.

Trump is a lame duck President. Many are convinced that our our mentally ill, draft-dodging, convicted felon for a President is out to destroy the American government out of revenge for how our government and media has treated him.

To keep minds off the government shutdown Republicans caused, Trump announced America is at war!

He thinks this announcement covers up the murders he committed when he attacked the speedboats.

The Times reports, "President Trump has decided that the United States is engaged in a formal “armed conflict” with drug cartels his team has labeled terrorist organizations and that suspected smugglers for such groups are “unlawful combatants,” the administration said in a confidential notice to Congress this week. Note: Trump had no idea who the occupants were in the three speedboats.

"It adds new detail to the administration’s thinly articulated legal rationale for why three U.S. military strikes the president ordered on boats in the Caribbean Sea last month, killing all 17 people aboard them, should be seen as lawful rather than murder.

"Mr. Trump’s move to formally deem his campaign against drug cartels as an active armed conflict means he is cementing his claim to extraordinary wartime powers, legal specialists said. In an armed conflict, as defined by international law, a country can lawfully kill enemy fighters even when they pose no threat, detain them indefinitely without trials and prosecute them in military courts."
