Vances four-word message to narco terrorists

Vice President JD Vance said “I don’t really care” what occurs to the 2 alleged narcoterrorists who have been repatriated following a U.S. strike on an alleged drug-carrying ship on Thursday.

U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed Saturday that U.S. navy struck a “very large DRUG-CARRYING SUBMARINE that was navigating toward the United States. Two people were killed and two, all of whom were described by the president as “narcoterrorists,” were rescued from the sinking ship and are being returned to their home countries of Ecador and Colombia “for detention and prosecution,” according to Trump.

The strike marks the sixth attack of its kind in the Caribbean in September as the White House ramps up drug war rhetoric and experts fear an attempted government overthrow in Venezuela. On Saturday, the Pentagon confirmed a seventh strike.

When asked why the two surviving men are being returned to their countries rather than prosecuted in the U.S., Vance said, “What occurs to them? I do not actually care, so long as they don’t seem to be bringing poison into our nation.”

Vance said the administration’s goal is to destroy the drugs to prevent them from getting into the hands of Americans.

When announcing the strike, President Trump wildly claimed that the strike saved “at least 25,000” lives. Vance said Secretary of State Marco Rubio is making case-by-case decisions whether to bring them back to the U.S. or work with foreign governments to get justice.

However, he doubled down on the fact that the men are being looked at as “narco terrorists.” Vance told reporters, “Well, look, if you look at the struggle on terrorism, you look at any other global battle, what we do with combatants in those wars relies upon very closely on the circumstances on the ground.”

“Look, our main focus is clearly to blow up these boats that have narcotics on them, and we’re extraordinarily assured that when we take out one of these boats, it is a boat that would have actually horrible poison that would kill 10s of 1000s of Americans,” Vance added. According to Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio was, in the case of survivors of the attacks, looking at it with a case-by-case outlook.

“When these precise boats get blown up, sometimes there are survivors. And I believe the Secretary of State just makes a resolution, relying on what the state of affairs is,” Vance explained. “Whether we’re going to ship them back home, whether or not we’re going to prosecute them in the United States, or whether or not we’re going to work with allies to convey them to justice.”

When asked if the alleged criminals should be tried as war detainees, Vance commented that it “relies upon very closely on the circumstances on the ground.”Sometimes we cooperate with allies, sometimes we bring them back to the United States, sometimes we take them elsewhere,” he continued.

“That’s exactly how we’re handling this, just on a case-by-case basis,” the vice president said.”But again, it’s important for the American people to recognize these are Narco terrorists who are trying to bring poison into our country and kill our citizens.”

“What happens to them? I don’t really care, so long as they’re not bringing poison,” he concluded.
