JD Vance Stands Firm Amid Drug Strike Criticism
Clear Facts
- Vice President JD Vance defended a recent U.S. military operation against a Venezuelan drug boat after criticism from Brian Krassenstein.
- The strike targeted members of Tren de Aragua, a group labeled as a foreign terrorist organization by the administration.
- President Trump confirmed the attack resulted in 11 deaths and was intended to combat drug trafficking aimed at the United States.
Vice President JD Vance pushed back strongly after being accused by Brian Krassenstein of supporting war crimes. The criticism followed a U.S. military strike on a suspected Venezuelan drug vessel.
Vance stated, “Killing cartel members who poison our fellow citizens is the highest and best use of our military.”
Krassenstein claimed, “Killing the citizens of another nation who are civilians without any due process is called a war crime.”
Vance replied, “I don’t give a shit what you call it.”

President Trump described the strike as targeting Tren de Aragua’s involvement in trafficking operations, calling the group a terrorist threat.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio referred to the attack as a necessary “lethal strike” against narco-terrorists working to harm America. When questioned about legal authority, Vance responded:
“The legal authority, there are people who are bringing terrorists, who are bringing deadly drugs into our country,” Vance said. “The president of the United States ran on a promise of stopping this poison from coming into our country. Another question?”
U.S. officials maintain Venezuela’s government is complicit with cartels trafficking narcotics toward the United States.
Americans concerned about national safety and securing the border will find this issue central to the debate on protecting traditional values.

So sick and tired of these stinking libtards worrying more about illegals and criminals (one and the same) than their own countryman. Anti-American pieces of filth!

What is wrong with the l-i-b-e-r-a-l-s? They don’t support him in stopping crime. They don’t support him in stopping drugs from coming into this country. They don’t support anything he has accomplished. Maybe they should all quit, NOW.

When ICE gathers up a bunch of Illegals , I would think they know who the bad guys are and and will separate them from the herd .
The illegals left over can be Identified and vetted and shipped back to where they came from .
They are Not Citizens of of the USA , which means they cannot receive DUE Process .
We can’t afford several Million court cases. By the way we don’t Kill-them .

Things have gotten so bad with the dems that I’m beginning to wonder if they lost someone to an overdose it really would make a difference to them & that is the saddest thing of all. Their kids have lost all respect for their elders or for that matter anyone. Our kids are 57 – 51. When they were growing up in the 70’s they ALWAYS respected their elders & would carry on very good conversations with them. I am all for going back when I was a child – we had so much GOOD, CLEAN fun. Now days it’s drugs, screaming & yelling at everyone, so much disrespect for their elders it makes me sick.
