When has military action every used due process?

If you don't agree that the military should be used against suspected narco-terorrists, then say that.

But they kill about 70000 Americans a year just with Fentanyl overdoses. I don't think killing 70 narco-terrorists (so far) is much of an escalation.

> suspected narco-terorrists

Ooooh scary, Venezuelans on flimsy boats transporting cocaine (not fentanyl) are terrorizing the US government... how exactly? I don't believe small fishing boats coming from Venezuela are the root of the fentanyl crisis.

If you're an ardent supporter of this administration no matter what they do, then say that. Your usage of "narco-terrorist" and saying they (who is they?) kill 70k Americans/year shows me that you're heavily bought into the official government narrative which is quite something.

		> Your usage of "narco-terrorist" It’s an accurate description of what these organizations are. Latin American history is basically a story of central governments trying to control these crime syndicates, failing, and then descending into civil war as landowners and urban elites figure the more practical solution is to just massacre all of them. This is true of Colombia, Brazil, El Salvador, and half a dozen other countries. Venezuela attracts the attention that it does because the government is effectively part of the syndicate.
