I'm with you a hundred percent regarding Trump's murder of eleven people in international waters: he, and many other people should be tried and convicted on felony charges for this act alone. I do have to disagree with your implicit support for the drug war: study the matter thoroughly and you can only come to the conclusion that the drug war benefits only criminal gangs and corrupt officials. It also becomes a mainstay for backing the narrative that the government needs to run our lives to keep us safe, and that actual freedom, as envisioned by the Founders, is too frightening even to seriously contemplate.
As a Venezuelan, I know a few people somewhat celebrating Trump striking down narco-terrorists. I find it so sad to see them believe in his promises when we've been let down again and again by this type of act. As our government pushes us even deeper into misery, people here seem to cling to the idea of foreign aid. But, if we know we can't believe a word that Maduro says, why would we believe Trump's?
Bill Maher made a great argument that these were not drug smugglers: "If it was me, I don't think 11 people on a small boat are needed. I'd leave more room for drugs."

Oh my. Apparently The Unpopulist is even posted in Bizarro World, and says the opposite of what it says here.

You have this exactly backwards.
ICC & Duterte. Will Trump tariff The Hague (via the Netherlands) for his bud, Duterte, like he did against Brazil for his bud, Bolsonaro?
