In a notification to Congress after the second strike in mid-September, the Trump administration said the U.S. is in a "non-international armed conflict" with drug cartels it has designated as terrorist organizations. The drugs smuggled by these cartels kill tens of thousands of Americans each year and constitute an "armed attack" against U.S. citizens, according to the White House.
The Trump administration has designated several drug cartels and gangs as terrorist organizations, including Venezuela's Tren de Aragua, Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel and El Salvador's MS-13.
Oh FFS, the long ploy here isn't Venezuela or the cartels, it's to normalize the use of military force at his discretion against gangs and terrorist groups, like oh, the newly designated terror 'organization' of antifa, with the national guard being sent in to all these 'warzone' cities conveniently hostile to Trump's agenda...
Which part? By this point it's kinda an ongoing river of treason
