Granted, it is a few dozen bungled policies ago, but remember when we were blowing up fishing boats in the Caribbean as part of the administration’s Operation Dude Bro antidrug strategy? Well, the results are in, and they are sadly predictable. From The Washington Post:

In a recent assessment reviewed by The Washington Post, DEA analysts found the strikes had failed to affect the supply or price of cocaine in the United States and had led traffickers to diversify beyond go-fast boats and to avoid international waters, opting instead for larger boats and hemming close to coastlines, where U.S. forces are less likely to open fire. In a closed-door briefing last month, Pentagon officials told lawmakers the strikes in international waters off South and Central America had not reduced its purity.

    What matters to them is that “BROWN people” got killed

    FTFY

    Its always been about racism. Same thing with all the bullshit with ICE, all of it is nothing but unfettered racism.

      I literally addressed this exact argument in the comment you replied to, but you just skipped right past that part.

        Yes, but you stated it like it was a secondary motive or just a bonus from killing the “bad people”. When I’m saying that the only reason for any and all action done by this administration has been to hurt people of color, plain and simple. Well that and enrich themselves in the process.
