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.

At this point..
You have to wonder what the captains of the drug boat are thinking when they are ordered to cast off.

Amen. China, Mexico and Venezuela are conducting a massively deadly war on America with fentanyl and meth.

Kill them where you find them, like in any other war.

They seem to be slow learners or are they just feeling lucky?

I wonder if they’re hailing them first to surrender.

“They seem to be slow learners or are they just feeling lucky?”

Maybe 20 boats are getting through for every one that gets hit.

And for anyone who has any doubt who these guys are, that boat has 2 to 3 likely 200 hp outboard engines, be on a decent day. Could probably get that boat up to 60 mph and the cost for that type of engine set up would be upwards of about $80,000 in US money.

Another one of these videos I saw for sure that one of the boats had four outboards on the back of it.

The moral of the story is that some lowly fisherman don’t need that type of speed for literally anything at all ever.

These are absolutely drug runners no doubt about it. Add this to the fact that your avg joe can’t even afford toilet paper in Venezuela, but some random innocent citizen has $120,000 boat that they are putzing around the Caribbean one full of containers?

Keep it up Trump. Let’s feed some more fish.

I don’t mind us killing drug runners.
I have but one question,
Why are we so worried about Americans that don’t have sufficient self discipline to avoid drugs that they know may kill them?

My comment is why care about these nonproductive idiots.
Let them die as they choose. Give them all the drugs they want cheap and free. That eliminates crime. My understanding of the laws of natural selection, is that in a short period of time we will be rid of these problems.

Has the destination of these boats ever been disclosed...Yucatan, Cuba, Bahamas for further distribution?

BRAVO! Say hi to the fishes and the bottom of the ocean.

Thinking ahead….As their drug business revenue shrinks and the bodies of their amigos pile up, they will likely go full retard and attempt a terrorist attack on our soil. Pray it doesn’t happen, but if it does the response had better be immediate and brutal.

I’m curious what kind of weapon we used. It looked like multiple strikes on the surface of the water when it hit. Either things went boom much faster than I expected, or it was many projectiles?

Doubtful.
Every single offshore vessel is tracked by USCG, USN and DHS.
Ask any South FL fisherman.
They know.

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!!!!

I am so sick of feckless libertarians proclaiming "We lost the war on drug!"

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

I've always said that if we were fighting a war on drugs, there would be dead bodies of drug suppliers/dealers laying around. Now we finally have that.

*NOW* we are fighting a "war on drugs!"
