The U.S. Coast Guard has announced a record-breaking 510,000 pounds of cocaine seized during fiscal year 2025, marking the largest interdiction haul in the service’s history.

Amnesty International called the strikes “illegal” and urged Congress to stop further bombings. “In the last two months, the U.S. military’s Southern Command has gone on a murder spree by following the Trump administration’s illegal orders,” said Daphne Eviatar, Amnesty International USA’s Director for Human Rights and Security.

How many of those 60 ppl killed were drug smugglers? And we’re supposed to feel sorry for them?

There is a name I haven’t heard in a while. Amnesty International. They must have run out of dough from Bono.

The Coasties will get proper recognition from their chain of command. Maybe a few medals. Other than the most senior brass, they could care less about the press, and cheer the good work their USN brothers are doing.

Not too far away is a thread about How Women Destroyed the West.

Funny how things come together ...

They have parallel missions; I applaud them both. As for the whiners ...

I say the people who complain are compromised or corrupted by the Cartels.

Prove me wrong ...

Coast Guard’s Historic Cocaine Seizures...

The whole guard?

If I had 510,000 pounds of cocaine, I'd be having seizures as well... probably worse.

Like I said, the democrats drug stash is running low and they need to buy more.
That’s the real reason why Newscum is flying to S. America and using money that could be used to feed the poor babies that Pelosi said republicans are starving.
ICE needs to meet his plane when he gets back.

Unless, and sad to suggest, that the "bottom line" is not their real objective.

We’ve all all the drug addicts telling us for years that we “lost the drug war.” Now that we are kicking ass and winning it the loser drug addicts are whining that we cut it out. KILLING PEOPLE AND BREAKING STUFF IS THE ONLY WAY TO WIN A WAR.

They have made baby-killing their #1 issue. They’re heavily in favor of it. I didn’t think they cared about other killings.

Eff "international criticism." It's not THEIR citizens being destroyed. What a pantywaist sentiment.

We finally have BOLD and SERIOUS treatment of drug / death smugglers and the "international community" is pissing in their panties. Eff them!

I PROMISE ONE THING:

“FISHING” BOATS DO NOT USE 4-5-6 HIGH POWERED OUTBOARD ENGINES.

DRUG RUNNERS DO.
