Despite the rising body count off the South American coast, researchers say cocaine is as easy to get in many parts of the United States as it was before the strikes began.

It’s almost like the point was to get paid by the cartels, not to stop drugs.

      The drugs enter through the border on trucks! It’s known to everyone! Trump just wanted to kill some people. So they let him do this.

      It wasn’t, it was supposed to plug the holes in the dike of the President’s historically low approval rating and distract from certain files

    That was never the purpose of these strikes. And anyone who believed them when they said it was was a fool.

      Can confirm. Blasting fishing boats labeled “traffickers” has done nothing to disrupt the supply chain or affect prices. Well, at least the price of blow, idk about fish prices. I’m a vegan.

    If you can’t keep drugs out of a maximum security prison then it’s impossible to keep drugs out of your entire country.

    The only way to stop drugs from being controlled by violent criminals is for the government to supply clean drugs at cost to anyone who wants them.
