Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) appears to be the only House Republican wishing we had launched a military attack on a longtime U.S. ally.

The House Republican chairman with oversight of border issues said Tuesday that it was “a mistake” that former President Donald Trump didn’t bomb meth labs in Mexico, an idea so extreme that even Trump wouldn’t confirm he reportedly said this behind closed doors.
Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the new chairman of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, said during an appearance on “Fox and Friends” that it was too bad that Trump didn’t launch a military attack on Mexico, a longtime U.S. ally, to try to stop drug traffickers.
“One of the things we learned post-Trump presidency is that he had ordered a bombing of a couple of fentanyl labs, crystal meth labs, in Mexico, just across the border and for whatever reason, the military didn’t do it,” said Comer. “I think that was a mistake.”
In 2020, Trump allegedly proposed firing missiles into Mexico to his then-Defense Secretary Mark Esper, who wrote about it in his book, “A Sacred Oath: Memoirs of a Defense Secretary in Extraordinary Times.” Esper, stunned, said Trump suggested this several times, telling Esper he believed “no one would know it was us” so they could keep it a secret.

Grand. So we should have invaded a sovereign country, a neighboring U.S. ally, and blown up all the labs there, possibly killing innocent people living nearby. Even Trump was careful not to say this too loudly.
Re. Comer, there's meth labs in trailer parks all throughout your glorious home state of KY. Should we drop bombs on those as well?
