Victor Davis Hanson on Obama's Drone Strikes vs. Trump's Narco-Terrorist Takedowns

Obama's Drone Program and Leftist Silence

• 🎯 Barack Obama is accused of ordering targeted drone assassinations that killed over 500 people, including a U.S. citizen and his son.
• 🔇 Hanson notes a lack of condemnation from the Left regarding these actions, even when Obama joked about them.
• ⚖️ The summary highlights the absence of due process, stating "no trial, no justice, nothing" in these targeted killings.

Trump's Actions Against Narco-Terrorist Boats

• 🚢 The Trump administration is taking action against narco-terrorist boats in international waters, a move permitted by a law originally sponsored by Chuck Schumer in 1986.
• 💰 These actions aim to cut off drug trafficking and illicit oil shipments that fund corrupt governments like Maduro's in Venezuela and support Cuba.
• 📉 Intercepting these revenues is causing Cuba to face potential bankruptcy and implosion.

Leftist Hypocrisy and Support for Authoritarian Regimes

• 🎭 Hanson criticizes the left's current outrage over Trump's actions, contrasting it with their silence on Obama's drone program.
• 🇨🇺 The left is depicted as being on the side of Maduro's narco-terrorist government and Castro's communist government.
• 🕊️ This is framed as hypocrisy, especially when compared to Obama, a Nobel Peace Prize winner, and Trump's efforts to disrupt these regimes without direct military force.
