Full Sen. J.D. Vance: Presidents should use full power of U.S. military to go after cartels

[@SageRedowl-gt6kb]

And what do you think happened to the Mexican ' s army,Police,border patrol? It's called payoffs.( Everyone gets a piece of that blood money!)

[@keithpodhradsky1314]

Good thing they never do that here.

[@1azulcielo1]

The cure to all this drug problem on both sides of the border is supporting the family. Family with a dad and a mom. Families with values. However, we are beyond that, people ridicule traditional families and values.

[@MrKoalaburger]

The government can't really manage that in a sufficient way. So it's not something a senator can even propose as a solution.

[@jackeagleeye3453]

What a dumb response. Most of the drug addicts in the worst parts of Ohio already have families lol.

[@quakers200]

As far as families in this country goes that ship sailed years ago. Blame who you want but that is done. Conservatives, liberals, religious, nons, are all having fewer families like the Nelson family. Mormons, Amish, may be slightly better. Not just America.

[@willygene829]

Vance is a wolf in sheep’s clothing

[@kbarnhart8400]

I don't think Vance works for the drug cartels like you say he does. Do you have some evidence???

[@jackeagleeye3453]

@LadieKatie Can you name anything positive he has done? Like he ran on wanting to help fix the opioid crisis.... from what I've seen he's done virtually nothing.

[@jackiemansfield8325]

He is married to an Indian female…but far better than with a chinese, or korean, or any other similar…

[@kanankiri1306]

Wow. Nice to hear a Republican talk knowledgeably and honestly about an important subject! He's a good speaker. Previously, I had only heard him spouting ridiculous talking points. Using the military in Mexico is fraught with problems and he too readily downplays legalisation. It was dishonest when he conflated free needles with legalisation. Free needles is harm reduction. Treating use as a medical problem, not a criminal problem would be good.

[@jayh1391]

If Vance really wants to stop the fentanyl crisis then why does he still have investments in China.

[@keithpodhradsky1314]

He's a hack.

[@keithpodhradsky1314]

Now go report me.

[@jodiezaffke4472]

Well thar was the most reasonable Maga Republican i have heard address the issue. No circle talk, answered questions without blaming others, and acknowledged things. Get away from the Magas and save the party.

A Republican doing serious thought. Amazing.

[@ozzysfishbowl8273]

Can’t use military to enforce civilian laws.

[@shawnlee6633]

@LadieKatiethat’s how the Chinese did in 1989

[@kbarnhart8400]

Can't use military on American soil to enforce American civilian laws is how it reads.

[@rs72098]

No, but you can use military force to destroy a foreign terrorist organization like the drug cartels in Mexico. Afterwards, you can transition the power to civilian authorities. Once the major organization is destoryed and disbanded, it will take years or decades for them to rebuild their infrastructure. A major deadly military strike would demoralize any new criminal organization that tries to enter the illegal drug market.

[@Grantthecatholic]

Then our country has no chance to be made great again because of legal stupidity and rigidness

[@ma.c.595]

En México sí, no persiguen al crimen qué atenta contra la estabilidad del Estado y a cualquier opositor los manda a azuzarlos.

[@brucecampbell4528]

So glad someone is speaking the truth. This is definitely a better use of money than wasting it in the Ukraine against Russia.

look at which states are still obstructing NPs from prescribing SA treatments...treatment works if they stay on it and if they have access to it!

[@mickaelmx]

At least he sorts of admit that Ohio is a failed state. Maybe that's where you have to start, caring for the most vulnerable in your country before blaming others. That's like when Mexico blams the US for sending millions of guns to Mexico, who's letting them in with loose border control? Misery and addiction are US problems, guns and strong cartels are Mexican problems. And governments incompetence and lack of cooperation are everyone's problems 😢

[@mickaelmx]

@LadieKatie I meant a state with many social and economic gaps. In other words a state that has failed its people for decades.

[@kbarnhart8400]

@@mickaelmx kind of like the auto industry failed Michigan?

[@ma.c.595]

De acuerdo.

[@kanankiri1306]

IF Mexico invites US help, then help initiating a war on the cartels is probably not the best way. Why didn't Trump do that during his 4 years? Didn't he recommend it?

[@sovietduga9747]

During that time, fentanyl wasn't a "thing"...

[@Progressivegenius]

He sounds good knowledgeable and caring, I just dislike when politicians these days have to take shots at the other side when making a point

[@GeorgeSkinner-eq1jd]

You’re correct. So glad the democrats never do that.

[@jake-dw2fw]

If the border and port authorities were better funded for more boots on the ground with more equipment like drug--dogs, x-ray etc. they could be more effective.

[@kbarnhart8400]

Biden and Mayorkas don't want that and so it won't happen.

I don't know what JD Vance is talking about but My Healthcare is better now than it has been in the last 15 years 100 happy with it and there are thousands of people who would agree by the way what would you guys replace it with? You've had a long time to come up with something and even hinted that you have but you guys don't have a clue

[@shawnlee6633]

Save my words: sending US troops to Mexico to address the drug crisis will end no difference from “build the wall and Mexico is gonna pay for it”

[@kbarnhart8400]

Well Biden stopped the wall and let fentanyl in and so instead of Mexico paying for it, Ohio is paying for not building the wall. But Biden doesn't care because he probably get campaign contributions from the cartels by bank wires. So I see Biden's point on his money.
