This whole situation is just so messed up
. I mean, we're talking about 14 innocent lives lost and one survivor left to deal with the trauma
. It's like, what are we even doing here? We need to take a step back and think about the bigger picture
.
These strikes may be aimed at combating global drug trafficking, but they're also just making things more complicated
. What about the people on those boats who weren't involved in any crime? Did they deserve to die? It's not that easy to say
.
And let's not forget about the potential consequences of these actions
. We could be heading into a whole new level of conflict, and for what? To keep up with some stats on narcotics?
I'm just saying, we need to think about how our actions affect others before we rush in headfirst
.
We're living in times where the line between war and peace is getting blurrier by the day
. We need to find a way to balance our desire for security with our need for compassion and understanding
. Can't we just try to understand each other instead of resorting to force?
. I mean, who needs congressional authorization when you've got a strong leader like Trump making executive decisions, right? 
And yeah, it's awesome that Mexico is happy to take on the 'search-and-rescue' duties... because nothing says "good neighbor" like being asked to sweep up after your American cousins' mistakes 
.
This is getting outta hand! I'm all for tackling the opioid crisis and combating global drug trafficking, but we gotta think about the collateral damage here. Like, what happens to these people who are just trying to make a living? We're talking innocent lives lost on both sides of the border. And now they're deploying more troops to Venezuela? That's like pouring gas on a fire 
. I'm all for holding the cartels accountable, but we need to be smart about it. Can't we work with Mexico and other countries to dismantle these trafficking networks instead of going in guns blazing? And what about the US vets who are actually doing the fighting over here? They deserve better than to have their efforts overshadowed by this wild west approach 
So the US military is like "Hey, we're gonna take out some boats carrying narks" and suddenly it's like a full-on war 
I mean, who needs Congress to authorize this stuff when you've got a big ol' guns-and-bullets approach? 
And let's be real, Trump is just trying to sound tough like the Hulk 
"The land drugs are more dangerous"... bruh, you can't just make that stuff up 
. And now they're talking about deploying a carrier strike group to Venezuela? Are we really setting ourselves up for a war with South America? 
This whole thing feels like a mess waiting to happen
