> No evidence, as in, it was just Hegseth saying they were "narco terrorists" and using that as justification for military force

Isn’t that the way it always is? Was there a PowerPoint presentation citing evidence every time Bush and Obama blew up a wedding in Afghanistan?

Does it matter? I personally didn't support those actions and would condemn them just as harshly as these ones. You're doing the "But what about Obama?!" meme. A large part of Trump's 2024 campaign was about "peace" which turned out to be a complete lie. Will you admit that Trump lied or are you going to deflect to Obama again?

You again failed to acknowledge the pardon of a drug trafficker, btw.
