U.S. Southern Command just announced the latest strike on a Venezuelan drug boat in the Eastern Pacific.
In a significant milestone, this marks the 30th strike against a narco-terrorist drug boat.
Two were killed in today’s strike.
Watch the footage:

On Dec. 29, at the direction of @SecWar
Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. Two male narco-terrorists were killed. No U.S. military forces were harmed.

Since operations began in early September, over 100 narco-terrorists have been killed in drug boat strikes.
CBS News has more:
The U.S. military has hit at least 30 alleged drug vessels in the region since early September, killing 107 people — part of a monthslong campaign of boat strikes near Latin America. President Trump has argued that boat strikes have been effective at quelling drug trafficking in the eastern Pacific and Caribbean Sea, but critics have questioned the president’s legal authority to carry out the strikes.
Another one bites the dust…
Keep ’em coming!
Things are drastically escalating with Venezuela.
This latest drug boat strike comes just hours after President Trump announced the first land strike on Venezuela.

U.S.A.! U.S.A.! U.S.A! U.S.A! The raggedy ass, homosexual Democrat Senators and other Congress critters are losing all their drug delivery Romeos.
Seems like the explosions are getting more explosivier.
Venezuela has no Pacific shoreline.
And the venezuelan fishing industry takes another hit.
What does trump got against fisherman?
This appears to be, more correctly, a Colombian narco-vessel.
That’s what I was thinking.
Imagine the pressure the cartel must be putting on the crews of these boats. I don’t know the percentage of ships the Navy has taken out, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 80-100%. Do the crews not know what’s going on? Since cell phones are ubiquitous, perhaps the Navy could have NSA put out a geofenced text to all phones in that area and warn them. (Those missiles are not cheap.)

The official statement (Hegseth) says “operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations in international waters”
Note the plural; OrganizationS.
One “news” outlet I read about this today made sure that we knew both of the “shipwrecked sailor boyz” were “MALES”. I can’t understand why they thought that was important to know.
I think they are using ‘kinetic energy weapons’.............
RE: Seems like the explosions are getting more explosivier.
Ha.
Fellow Texan George W. Bush reportedly said some folks were making more terroriastic types of plans after 911. He stopped saying it by the next day and also dropped “folks” because people criticized him for making the enemies sound like just normal people who might come over for dinner sometime.
Hard to please people. We now hear the term “individuals” all the time from law enforcement and government people. Safer to say.
Nice!!!!!
Can't risk having to double tap another boat. Makes the liberals cry too hard.
You should charge these drug boats $1,000,000 safe passage, get the cokeheads of America to pay off the national debt while blowing their brains into mush.
Someday the planes will have to replace the boats.

There is no “Eastern Pacific”.
Because they were sailor boyz, unlike Popeye the Sailor Man.
