This week’s question: The U.S. military has conducted at least 21 strikes as part of a counter-narcotics campaign near the Venezuelan coast, killing at least 83 people. What do you think of these actions?
- These actions are needed to combat drug cartels.
- These actions are a violation of international law.
- We need evidence to back up the military actions.
- All of the above.

“I’d have to see the evidence. How would you like it if they came here? That’s another country, their country should control what they’ve got going on there. It shouldn’t be our business until it comes to us.”

“It’s needed. I’m ex-military, and I think they’re doing the right thing. I think they owe it to the American people to save lives. We’ve done worse things in the past.”

“I think it’s needed because drugs are killing so many of our kids. We need to protect our kids, and I think we’re doing the right things. The actions will help to slow it down.”

“I think that the action is needed. It’s not an easy war. Is there a better way of handling it, maybe, maybe not. What they’re doing is a good thing. It sucks that people have to lose their lives but again, those people are ruining others by bringing drugs into the country, so that’s the best defense to it.”
