25. So you agree with unilaterally invading a "suspect" country
Wed Dec 3, 2025, 11:48 AM
Wednesday

and destroying "suspect" facilities there?

With all the "pill mills" in operation here, that would open it up for any country to "invade" the U.S. and blow up someone's house or if we have a U.S,-flagged cargo ship loaded with soybeans destined for some location abroad, any country could "claim" that it was "hauling 'drugs'" (or even illegal "weapons" ), and extra-judicially, blow it out of the water.

Everyone is aware of the ridiculous hyperbolic "cards" that they play, but this go-around, it's no longer "hyperbole", and there are repercussions for our actions.
