Where will the Brits get information, going forward? Israel cut them off after they recognized “Palestine”, and now they’re closing the pipeline to us. Does Sir Keir imagine Australia and Canada will make up for it?
[Townhall] The Trump administration has launched airstrikes against several narco terrorist vessels in the Caribbean, a move that has led the U.N. to condemn the strikes as "unacceptable."
This has not deterred the Trump administration, which announced plans in October to continue the strikes, citing national security concerns. But it seems the U.K. isn't going to be helping the Trump administration keep illegal drugs and criminals off our shores.
CNN is reporting that the U.K. has paused intelligence sharing with the U.S., citing the legality of the strikes.
Here's more from CNN:
The United Kingdom is no longer sharing intelligence with the US about suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean because it does not want to be complicit in US military strikes and believes the attacks are illegal, sources familiar with the matter told CNN.
The UK’s decision marks a significant break from its closest ally and intelligence sharing partner and underscores the growing skepticism over the legality of the US military’s campaign around Latin America.
For years, the UK, which controls a number of territories in the Caribbean where it bases intelligence assets, has helped the US locate vessels suspected of carrying drugs so that the US Coast Guard could interdict them, the sources said. That meant the ships would be stopped, boarded, its crew detained, and drugs seized.
Ah. They plan on still receiving information — they just won’t be sharing theirs. Do remember, guys, that President Trump holds grudges.
Canada also has "distanced" itself from the strikes, according to the network, and a Canadian defense spokesperson told CNN, "It is important to note that Canadian Armed Forces activities under Operation Caribbean, conducted in coordination with the United States Coast Guard, are separate and distinct."
The administration's policy has received its share of criticism at home, too. But Vice President J.D. Vance addressed the critics back in September, saying, "I think the rules of engagement should be similar to what they are in war, because we are, in fact, in a war against these drug cartels. I understand the concerns about due process, I understand some of the criticisms that have been raised, but this is not a situation where we can send the Navy SEALs into these places, arrest them, and give them a proper civil trial or criminal trial."

This really isn't news. Nations, including us, cut off FOR intel depending on a host of reasons. Political, military, law enforcement, CIA/NSA actions, etc.
Chances are pretty good the Brits intel there isn't as good as ours or France's
Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:
[ColonelCassad] "DAMN YOU, YOU BASTARD, YOU BETRAYED US ALl." Bernie Sanders is furious about the betrayal of several Democratic senators who decided to take the path of "treason" and support Trump's proposals aimed at restoring the US government and its funding. This unified impulse united both neocons and pseudo-leftists like Sanders and Ocasio-Cortez.
The Democrats' plan, of course, was to sabotage the government, cause a socioeconomic crisis, blame it on Trump, and, using the consequences of this crisis, win the 2026 midterm elections for the House of Representatives. This would immediately make Trump a lame duck, depriving him of the opportunity to push his valuable initiatives through the US Congress. Apparently unbeknownst to Rozhin, Trump already is a lame duck.
Right now, he has de facto carte blanche to make virtually any decision. The Senate and House of Representatives are controlled by Trumpists, the Supreme Court is generally on his side, and the security forces are under the control of Trump's people. Therefore, both sides are already preparing for the fall of 2026, when the Democrats will try to take revenge and undermine the power of Trump and company.
And now the plan is starting to fall apart, and the abuse of "traitors" clearly shows who was actually engaged in state sabotage. One of the important dimensions of the ongoing struggle is the struggle over the narrative of "who is to blame for what is happening." And now the "traitor Democrats" are handing Trump the trump card. Therefore, Bernie and company are truly having a "bad night."
P.S. For us, of course, it would be better if the war within the American establishment dragged on and escalated. We have no friends there.

He is right about the wholesale part, though. We need non-lethal ways to deal with large masses of semi-violent people. Something like the people scoopers in "Soylent Green", or drones spraying a fine mist of cheap Canadian fentanyl, or even just big nets.
[MaddMedic] ITS ABOUT TIME, someone stands up and tells this country what communist, crooks, criminals these Democrat politicians are.!!
KENNEDY JUST EXECUTED AOC, SCHUMER & THE ENTIRE DEM LEADERSHIP ON LIVE C-SPAN — CHAMBER WENT FUNERAL-QUIET IN 38 SECONDS
Senate Floor. AOC was mid-sentence, waving her printed Green New Deal 2.0 like a victory flag.
"Senator Kennedy
…Senator John Kennedy, junior senator from Louisiana since 2017, of course, not Teddy…
refuses to support our $93 trillion climate justice plan because he’s a dinosaur who—"
Kennedy stood up, slow, holding a plain manila folder labeled "DEM RECEIPTS — DO NOT BEND." He didn’t wait for the chair to recognize him.
He just started reading, voice like molasses over broken glass: "Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
Net worth jump 2020-2025: $29,000 → $12.4 million
Campaign promise: ’No corporate PAC money’
Actual donors: BlackRock, Google, Pfizer — $4.7 million in dark money funneled through ActBlue shells
Bartender story: last W-2 showed $26k — while mommy’s seven rental properties paid the real bills
Green New Deal co-author: Saikat Chakrabarti — fired for funneling $1.2 million to his own LLC"
He flipped the page. "Chuck Schumer
’Working class hero’ from Brooklyn
Current residence: $8.2 million Park Slope brownstone
Wife’s net worth: $47 million from Goldman Sachs board seat
Inflation Reduction Act: gave $370 billion to green companies — 42 of which donated to his PAC the same week"
Then the kill-shot, folder page three, titled "THE MATH THEY PRAY YOU NEVER SEE": "$93 trillion over 10 years = $714,000 per U.S. household
Average NYC household income under Dem policies: $71k
That’s 10 years of every dollar they earn — gone before breakfast." Kennedy closed the folder, looked straight at AOC:
"Darlin’, I did the homework. You want $93 trillion from people who can’t afford groceries while you fly private to COP climate conferences?
Take your trust-fund socialism, fold it till it’s all corners, and stick it where the Green New Deal don’t shine." The chamber didn’t gasp.
It stopped breathing.
AOC’s mouth opened—no sound.
Schumer’s glasses slid down his nose.
C-SPAN’s live feed hit 28 million concurrent viewers—highest ever. Kennedy sat down.
Folder stayed on the podium like a tombstone.
AOC deleted Twitter for 14 hours.
Schumer’s office called it "McCarthyism."
Kennedy’s reply, posted with a photo of a Louisiana food-stamp line: "McCarthyism is promising utopia while picking pockets."
The folder is now locked in the Senate archives.
But America just read every page

Saw this same post on X. It looks to be fan fiction. Not sure why AOC would be present in the Senate at this point at least. C-Span hitting 28 Million concurrent viewers, the most ever, seems like one too many Jell-O shots. I would be delighted to be found wrong.

That would be why I can’t find video. Thank you, Super Hose.
A multi-volume chronology and reference guide set detailing three years of the Mexican Drug War between 2010 and 2012.

Chris gives us Mexican press dispatches of drug and gang war violence
over three years, presented in a multi volume set intended to chronicle the death, violence and mayhem which has
