I hate DeSantis as much as the next guy but cmon, this title is misleading. He said he would "drone strikes cartels," not that he wanted to go to war.

Launching military ordnance into another country is the definition of war.

If it's to kill terrorists that are enemies of both the US and Mexican government, not really.

So you'd be okay with the Chinese dropping a bomb on a house in your neighbourhood because some right-wing nut was gonna blow up a government building?

He's a terrorist, so it's all good right?

I'm not justifying it. I'm only saying the title is a bit misleading/sensationalist.

It's really not. It's a definite act of war.

I mean, I'm not going to shed any tears over a would-be Timothy McVeigh who probably fantasized about killing leftists like me.

Now, if they start bombing weddings, then we've got a problem. And yeah, the US military did that.
