I'd much rather we do this instead of getting into never-ending wars in Ukraine and Israel.

So stopping drug vessels are bad? funny how some pull for criminals, iran having nuclear weapons, drugs openly coming into the country... All for the sake of hurting feels.

Amazing.

I 100% agree with Tulsi.

I 100% support Trump taking a drug boat out that was in the ocean headed for USA, you understand we have the intelligence to figure out a 3rd world countries moves?

I'm just saying, if a Dem SOS said this, most of this board would be looking at the situation with skepticism. "Narco terror" sounds like the new war on terra.

'As @potus just announced moments ago, today the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization,' Rubio said.

How far into the Caribbean does Venezuela extend?


About 2000KM, but when you look at the map, you see that dot at the top of the northeast corner of Venezuela, thats me, thats Trinidad. You just keep those navy vessels close to us and Ill be happy.

There is a notorious port on the western part of Venezuela, never ever sail in there unless you want to be boarded once you hit international waters.

And allowed to proceed to whatever port they were heading for and unload their coke unmolested.

You know Hitler actually declared war on us after Pearl Harbor, not the other way around?

We’re fighting the narco-terrorists, brother!

If Russia or China did this, we would call them a rogue nation.

They scuttled a drug vessel headed for our boarders.

Nobody attacked Venezuela.

Well, the way Trump is handling Venezuela now sure beats the Biden and Harris' saying 'Ole' to all the Venezuelan trafficking for the previous 4 years. So go suck it!
