Default This Means War: Trump Launches Assault on Drug Cartels

https://www.dailywire.com/news/break...-drug-cartels/

Quote:
President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that the administration was launching an all out assault on Mexican drug cartels using the U.S. Military.

“As governments and nations focus on the Coronavirus, there is a growing threat that cartels, criminals, terrorists, and other malign actors will try to exploit the situation for their own gain and we must not let that happen,” Trump said. “We will never let that happen. Today the United States is launching enhanced counter narcotics operations in the western hemisphere to protect the American people from the deadly scourge of illegal narcotics.”

“We must not let the drug cartels exploit the pandemic to threaten American lives,” Trump continued. “In cooperation with the 22 partner nations, the U.S. Southern Command will increase surveillance, disruption, and seizures of drug shipments, and provide additional support for eradication efforts that are going on right now at a record pace.”

“We are deploying additional Navy destroyers, combat ships, aircraft and helicopters, Coast Guard cutters and Air Force surveillance aircraft, doubling the capabilities in the region,” Trump continued. “Very importantly, our forces are fully equipped with personnel protective equipment, and we have taken additional safety measures to ensure that our troops remain healthy.”

Secretary of Defense Mark Esper said, “Today at the president’s direction, the Department of Defense in close cooperation with our interagency partners began enhanced narcotics separations in eastern Pacific oceans and the Caribbean sea.”
Looks like street drugs are going to skyrocket in price. Combine this with shutting down the economy, and I predict riots in American cities.

Most of the ingredients for the drug trade came from China. They shutting down shipments have already caused a rise in drug prices.

I hope Trump plans to dig out our PT boats out of mothballs and patrol the Rio Grande. It's long past time to treat the invasion of the US AS an invasion.

An invasion or another way of a revolution. The Dims seem to have locked on the idea of getting new voters.

Reducing overdose hospitalizations by cutting off the supply of narcotics would help free up bed space for Wu flu victims. Seems like a well thought out, coordinated strategy. I bet Sleepy Jeff Sessions is upset he's not still around to see this happen.
