I think the U.S. is up to around 10-13 strikes on these drug boats.

I am curious and wish it was asked. Are we targeting ALL of the drug boats or since the time of the first strike have there only been this many?

Curious as to if there are many more taking sail, why ALL of them are not being taken out?

You think anyone on here knows? I would assume they are taking out the obvious ones. Cartels are probably getting the clue and will start trying other ways.

Interesting to see which Americans will get upset that their paychecks are in the basin of the Caribbean.

You are aware that boat hits are the easiest to execute with little to no collateral damage and the Mexican cartels use other means? It’s almost like y’all can’t grasp that basic fact. What would be the reaction to strikes on Mexican soil without their government’s consent as opposed to international waters? It’s not difficult

Misunderstanding the intent of my question.


I am wanting MORE strikes in these boats. I am just wondering if the ones that we hit are all of them or at ether many more that for some reason we are not hitting.

I would guess we are only going to hit targets with little to no collateral damage or red tape hence the boat strikes. I am sure Trump would love to crush the Mexican cartels but they control the Mexican government and we have plenty of apologists for the cartels in California and Arizona who would also interfere

Sub is a loose term. They are semi-submersible

Pete Hegseth keeps referring to the "eastern Pacific" in his tweets.

That is the west coast of South America. Venezuela does not border the Pacific, and those boats are not in the Caribbean.

Colombia does.

Can we get clarity on this?


Example:

Yesterday, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific.

I was wondering about that. Where do these boats drop off the drugs?

Would have to be somewhere in Central America or southwestern Mexico. There is no way boats like that have the range to make it all the way to SoCal.

I would assume we are tracking the movement back and forth on some of the boats. Surveil the boat on the way back, where the drivers move to and from, who accesses the boats in the meantime, where those people go. I hope we are, or have at least.

Trying to make sure they only get confirmed drug boats.

Yes those are probably coming from Columbia, remember Trump cut all funding to those clowns as well.

On another note, I was watching a documentary on a drug dealer. When they clamped down on the Caribbean years ago, he started having planes flown into Nicaragua and then would take a fast boat to Mexico. He kept having problems with the local police, equipment issues.

One day an old fella who fished lobsters with a pirogue approached him and said maybe he could help. He said to the old fella, what the heck do you know about shipping drugs. He said not much but I been fishing lobsters for 20 years and taking them to Mexico and illegally selling them. He started using the lobster guy for years and never had a problem.
