These speedboat SOBs are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans. I’m proud we’ve got a President and Government that is killing them back. Screw the DemonRATS and their foreign drug cartel billionaire pals who are providing the illegal alien voter invaders and political donations being used to collapse America. America needs to continue wiping them out.
I have no trouble with this policy. Trading the lives of 30 drug dealers for probably thousands of US lives is acceptable to me. The are too many people who think singing songs around a campfire is going to solve the drug problem in the US. I don’t think so. Shutting off the supply chain is a step in the right direction. To those who want to poison our citizens, the military is going to help you find an answer to FAFO.
Nixon started the “War on Drugs” in 1971.
It’s past time that we got serious about it.
I support these military actions in the context of national security and protecting the homeland.
You know they have solid information that these are drug boats and drug smugglers...

Recently, two survivors of a strike were repatriated to their home countries. If they were narco terrorists, why were they “let go”? Seems strange to me.
“These speedboat SOBs are killing hundreds of thousands of Americans.”
It’s not only the OD deaths. Do the people who keep count factor in the secondary deaths...the individuals who are killed in robberies by addicts needing a fix, in car accidents caused by stoned drivers, even street dealers fighting over territory? These deaths would add thousands to the score.
if the boats were carrying landmines which would then be placed around school yards knowing they’d kill kids, would anyone have a problem taking out those who brought them into America?
how is that different from bringing in fentanyl and selling it on the streets where kids get it and overdose?
We should be droning drug labs in Mexico as well. I would support that above most of the attacks we do in the Middle East.
Tell Mexico to clean up their junk….or we will do it for them.
rand paul suffering fainting spells over report.
Working international waters is one thing and crossing boarders is another which can escalate into something we are not ready to tackle at this point. Choking off logistical trains in international waters is effective first step while also choking off the payoffs due to lost revenue. It also does not violate boarders which we are attempting to solidify after years of neglect. International waters is a free fire zone which gives better cover from repercussions. The more we eliminate in this fashion the more the money train slows and makes their operation more difficult to produce, move and pay bribes.
Why are you telling us about this? This needs to be addressed to dumbass Rand Paul.
He lives in his own world. Wake me when he gets Fauci on something.
Oh yes. I went out on drug interdiction patrols in the central Pacific on USN ship with embarked US Coast Guard Tactical Law Enforcement detachment. They were not fishing. They *ALWAYS* know exactly who they were hunting, what they hauling, the history of the craft since construction and who was crewing it; with pictures. Often the craft in question left a port in SE Asia and sailed at random around the Pacific for awhile thinking that would mislead the DEA & USCG. No it would not! And this was in late 80's with no drones and crappy Gen 1 Nightvision.
Once they have access to all the facts and details, the producers of “To Catch A Smuggler” should move ahead with a prime time special. Video enhancements, mission audio, animated graphics depicting general scenarios, guest appearances by Trump, Hegseth, Rubio, Bondi, Noem,...See your tax dollars at work!...like never before.
It is strange, but it is according to the stupid law of the seas.
They probably wondered what to do with them.
Lock them somewhere (Guantanamo) would generate all kind of protests and headaches.
So they decided to follow the so called law.
Now, Ecuador and Colombia have a headache on their side.
