When asked in an interview how drone operators would know if the people being blown to smithereens were actually carrying drugs, he replied: “Same way a police officer would know … Same way somebody operating in Iraq would know. You know, these people in Iraq at the time, they all looked the same. You didn’t know who had a bomb strapped to them. So those guys have to make judgments.”
Holy F, as a mexican that crosses the border often for vacations... this is extreme and scary
I mean, we joke, but this is pretty what he’s proposing.
This dude is pushing Putin-level shades of crazy.
Yeah, that sounds like the old "Kill them all and let God sort them out" approach.
How about a new rule that if you vote for a war, you are automatically enlisted. And if you're ineligible to enlist you must either abstain or vote no.
Congress members get as many votes for war as they have draft-age family members. For each vote they cast, they must enlist 1 family member. Starting with their own children.
Some of em don't care about their kids. They can go fight, themselves.
This is literal insanity.
Are they going to put Mexican Americans in internment camps next?
The United States already runs multiple concentration camps on the border.
The US has been waging unprovoked war on Latin America since before WW1.
The only thing new about this is that this irredeemable piece of garbage is stating the quiet part out loud.
This cunt talks about Iraq like he did something there. He was a fucking lawyer 😂.
Posing as a human rights lawyer and illegally aiding in the torture of POWs at Guantanamo is the best way of forming a valid opinion on Iraq!
Bruh you've gotta use vague signals and let the think tanks work with journalists to manufacture consent first.
Psychopathic, how can a politician like this have any popular support
Certain groups in the US have been building up to this for a while. They genuinely do want a war with Mexico. They've been trying to use drugs as an excuse to do it.
Here is an excellent video going into this when it all started to get quite serious and AMLO (mexican president) started to aggressively fight back against it: https://youtu.be/3dw1pcDoewY
He's also called the american media sphere trying to build up to this fascistic "hitlerismo", comparing american media to goebbels.
Nothing is more American than invading other countries and murdering their people.
Dude is trying so hard to appeal to Trump's base, but it isn't working.
Does the "Presidents approval rating increase during wartime" thing occur if you just loudly state "I'm gonna do a war if elected"?
It increases their approval rating with the military industrial complex lobbyists funding their campaigns, I'm sure.
Historically you have to campaign as being against the war but then promptly set about the business of creating a war once in office
"They aren't sending their best" used to be mask-off messaging that seemed too far. 
Before anyone calls this hyperbole:
Ron DeSantis recently suggested that he would be open to ordering drone strikes on Mexican drug cartels and migrants, whom he accused of carrying drugs over the border. “We’re authorizing deadly force. They try to break into our country? They will end up stone-cold dead,” he said, and he’s not alone. Trump, Reps. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) and Mike Walsh (R-FL), Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR), and Trump’s former deputy secretary of homeland security Ken Cuccinelli have all proposed various military actions in Mexico, up to and including sending in ground troops.
This is why Trump will win. Trump maybe dumb, but he's not that stupid to go around telling peoples he gonna invade this and that.
Trump made Hillary eat so much shit over the Iraq War, and here you've got Ronny saying he wants to jumpstart the greatest refugee crisis in the world right at the border.
Why do you think your base wants a wall, Ron?
the guy decided to run against a religious icon, and now he's eating so much shit it's incredible
