U.S. won't kill drug smugglers if their countries cooperate, Rubio says

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

QUITO, Ecuador — The Trump administration will continue to identify and kill foreign drug smugglers without the consent of their home countries, Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters Thursday.

But such actions may not be necessary if the smugglers come from friendly nations that cooperate with the United States, Rubio added.

“For cooperative governments, there’s no need because those governments are going to help us,” the top U.S. diplomat said during a visit to Ecuador’s capital. “They’re going to help us find these people and blow them up, if that’s what it takes.”

Colombian President Gustavo Petro called the strike a “murder” and questioned its effectiveness. “We have been capturing civilians transporting drugs for decades without killing them. Those who transport drugs are not the big drug traffickers, but the very poor young people of the Caribbean and the Pacific,” he said.

Marco Rubio’s presidential aspirations have long been dogged by vague unsubstantiated allegations that he is a “risky bet” with skeletons in his closet that could prove damaging in a high-profile election. This week, Scott Higham and Manuel Roig-Franzia of the Washington Post became the first reporters to put some meat on these bones with a story alleging that as Majority Whip of the Florida House of Representatives Rubio “used his official position to urge state regulators to grant a real estate license to his brother-in-law, a convicted cocaine trafficker who had been released from prison 20 months earlier.”

It’s a story about the side of Rubio’s family that he doesn’t like to talk about, a sign of the kind of problems that may be hurting Rubio in the invisible primary, but it’s also a story about the growth of a troubling kind of employment protectionism in state governments across America. One question, after all, is whether Rubio should have used his official position to help get his brother-in-law the legal right to sell real estate in Florida. Another question is whether a person with a cocaine conviction who wants to sell real estate in Florida should need to call in a favor from his brother-in-the-law the powerful politician in order to be able to do so legally.

Did Marco Rubio do for him?
