Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility.

Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, and no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation. The strike was conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics - headed to America to poison our people.

Our intelligence, without a doubt, confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route. These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!

Ideally demand for product should be curtailed like cigarettes have been. The sale of the drugs make the drug lords (Narcos) so rich and powerful they kill off any hope for a productive citizenry so that they use everyone to make them rich or else…they destroy entire countries with bribery like Venesuela and Mexico.

Whatever it was, that boat blowed up real good!

I was thinking the same thing. It looked like some kind of air burst munition, but I don’t know.

No, the f*** we didn’t! We never fought a war on drugs. We are *NOW* finally fighting a war on drugs.
*********************************************************

Agree. Wars are fought using KINETIC, LETHAL means. Trump’s fighting a war here with ACTUAL enemies of America and the American people. Yay!

So it’s not just me. Air Burst may be it. Bubbles continued to rise all the way to the end of the video. Anything blown into the air would have taken time to fall. Interesting since I didn’t see anything like it in the previous videos.

There are boats all over Florida that have {4} 300hp outboards.

They are probably Highly fisherman as opposed to Lowly fisherman.

Your reply is rather confusing.
I quit a 2 pack per day habit because Reagan raised the tax on cigarettes.
If I can “cold turkey” quit such a habit,
don’t expect me to “help” another addict.
Y’all just do it.
Or not.
If you can’t control yourself, You don’t belong
here.
We should make it easy for you to exit.

Yes. The pilot whispered “halt, halt, halt” before he launched the missile.

For those who are worried about “victims” there.
The cargo would kill dozens of Americans, at least!
This is not an illicit high profit operation, this is a trade with death!

I quit smoking cold turkey too, in 2000. For me it was the increased nicotine they added, my body recoiled from the new formula. Sorry my post was confusing. I was just trying to include the point that Narco terrorists have too much power and it would be good to shut them down.

Why are we so worried about Americans that don’t have sufficient self discipline to avoid drugs that they know may kill them?

Because Jesus told us we should.

I’m a Christian. I do church and
weekly bible studies.
other than Liberal Pastors,
I don’t recall that we need to accept
Sinners, without making sure we
are in a position to help.
I can’t help a junkie that is robbing me.
I have to be safe first, then I can help.

The Jesus I learned about did not accept
sinners that did not try or asked to redeem themselves.

Yup, and they have those types of set ups all over the Outer Banks in North Carolina down to Georgia as well.

Not sure what that has to do, though with having that type of set up on the back of a banana boat down off the coast of Venezuela, though

Yeah, I think you’re exactly right when you say it’s an air burst. When you’re going against a fast moving a soft target like that boat, probably a better option.
