I used to work in a steel mill. Every now and then we would have the feds deliver big loads of drugs and weapons to throw in the furnace. They would keep everyone away from the baghouse (outgoing air filters) and watch the stuff get picked up, dropped in the furnace, and stay till it was burned/melted.
If we just sent an AC-130 up and orbited for a bit firing warning shots, did this for a couple weeks consistently, we'd see a total shift in their operations. And if not then non-working shots. They'd get it.
Yeah it would be better to legalise it tax it and have it sold in pharmacies so that the pharmacists could see when someone is purchasing too much and intervene. It would be a big blow (pun intended) to the cartels. If the US legalised coke and weed the cartels would lose a shit load of their income combine that with tighter borders and you would probably make Mexico great for the first time. US would save on coast guards and military and the tourism would come roaring back. Id legalise ecstasy as well.
No, it's about money. Big tobacco loses tons of money on vapes, states lose tons of taxes. For context, the cigarette companies havent ever raised the price per pack. It's all taxes. Almost ditto for gas prices.
Drugs could go from an endless liability in cost to a money maker that would cut massive costs elsewhere (IF the gov wasnt already in the illegal drug business.)
I just can't casually do coke, like I'll do a line and then 5 minutes later I'll want to do another and another and another and another and another until it's gone, then get the shitty comedown, call my guy and tell him I want to spend all my money on more. The first time I tried it I ended up getting one of those little shooter bullet things and filling it up so I could take it with me to work at a retail store and was just yacked out dealing with customers all day, it was horrible lol. The comedown just really sucks, I need xanax or to sleep before I feel right again.

Is a reminder of how the West "dealt with" and "punished" Somali pirates. They would give them fuel and water and food.
Start treating wars like wars, you are being attacked by foreign soldiers who are not wearing uniforms and want to kill your children with poison, as well as shooting them in the streets.
If the Coast Guard brass is worried about the smugglers being infected with COVID-19, their best course of action would have been to just sink their boats with the cargo and smugglers on board. Make sure they drown.

months long operations on eastern Pacific that will culminate Friday morning as the cutters return to dock in Florida
Operations in the pacific, and ships returning to dock in Florida? How are they getting to Florida from the pacific? They could be going through the Panama canal but that seems pretty far out of the way for standard coast guard operations.
Hunter Biden will need to find another supplier this month.
You were made for this moment.
One Shining Moment. RIP March Madness
Your brother's nipples probably have shiny moments, too.
Bless you, dear kekistani!
Will he, though? Think about it.

By apprehend i hope you mean buried at sea.
This. Otherwise the CIA gonna get a hold of it, and it'll be on the streets in record time
Burn it. At least sometimes.

Hand it over to DEA. And then off to the incinerator.
All 9,000 pounds of it
Agreed they need to burn all 8000 pounds immediately.
And then provide a receipt for the 7000 pounds they burned.
I don’t see why we arrest drug dealers. We have the firepower to just blow them away, which should be the ideal solution to them
Bonus: We can say they died of COVID-19 in captivity.
OMG you making this joke just reset the Bill Gates/Fauci/Birx timer

Naw I'm not down for someone simply supplying a demand.

They hardly allow for vapes, much less cigarettes. I don’t think they would ever let recreational cocaine fly. It’s about control

Damn, that’s almost half of what Hunter blows through in a weekend!
Yeah but he doesn’t really like the drug. Just the way it smells. Takes after his dad that way.
I don't know much about drugs, but that seems like 'a lot'
At least a weeks supply for Hunter
After a search and quick math...$500 million
"And so it begins..."
Has anyone seen Mitch lately?
Maybe he’s busy confirming another Supreme Court judge and needs more fuel?

Don't like the word "apprehend".

I'm sure this will be front page tomorrow right?
Should have sank the boat with them on it
It's war man! Blow a hole in their boat, float away, be done with it. Let the sharks eat them.
That's conservation right there: we need to focus on the well-being of the world's sharks. They're endangered and misunderstood. And hungry.
Shoot first ask later
Oh shit, I think that was my delivery!

So what is the value of that much coke?
$2.6 billion
Damn how much you paying for the nose candy? At most $500-600 million
Wow! That could buy a lot of face masks! :)
They're bringing it to Mitch's office
Hey hey hey now, we need our medicine! Doctors and hospital workers are working double shifts in NY. Send the cargo up to them STAT.
Heroin and now coke. No wonder the dems are jumping en-mass into the stupid pool.
Don’t need to dump them if you just blow them out of the water like Genoa Salami.
Good job on getting that 40k lbs of cocaine off the street.
Demonrats: no no no this is distracting from The narrative that the economy is falling apart and we need a new president who is currently locked in his own basement and can't read a teleprompter
Now they just need some of those smugglers to rat on who sent them so we can find the source of the problem.
Awesome, now arrest some pedos
Any chink connection found?
Well there goes my weekend.
I hope they do a Solemeini to every cartel overlord.
In a free market economy, the government shouldn’t be interfering with trade.
Let’s donate that Cocaine to our first responders!
No one will care that’s the shame of it all
Demonrats: this is distracting from the party message that
, Wild Party Ensues
We'll be mailing a sample to each tax payer to get you hooked while your locked in your house

Not so much, everything goes thru the ditch these days.
HW must be throwing a fit.
‘Can you believe we busted these guys with 17,000 lbs of cocaine’
Well these goes the Democrats cash.
13000 pounds of cocaine?
Found the racist
That headline just makes my nose sad :(
