Trump announces another lethal strike on alleged drug boat in Caribbean

(CNN) US President Donald Trump announced yesterday another lethal military strike on an alleged drug-trafficking vessel in international waters that he said was affiliated with a designated terrorist organisation.In a social media post, Trump said the strike targeted a vessel operating in US Southern Command’s area of responsibility – which includes Central America, South America and the Caribbean – and killed three male “narcoterrorists” onboard.“On my Orders, the Secretary of War ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking illicit narcotics and was transiting along a known narcotrafficking passage enroute to poison Americans.”

According to the president, no US forces were harmed during the operation.“STOP SELLING FENTANYL, NARCOTICS, AND ILLEGAL DRUGS IN AMERICA, AND COMMITTING VIOLENCE AND TERRORISM AGAINST AMERICANS!!!,” the president said.In a post to his Truth social platform minutes ago, Trump claimed that three male "narcoterrorists" were aboard the vessel at the time of the strike, and were killed.

Trump attached a video of the strike to his post.Asked later Monday for evidence the vessel was carrying drugs, Trump responded, “We have proof. All you have to do is look at the cargo that was spattered all over the ocean, big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place.”

Ships cross the oceans every day. Some bring goods. Some bring poison. That poison is packed in crates. Hidden under labels. Shipped across the Atlantic. Across the Pacific. Straight into North America.
It doesn’t make headlines. It doesn’t march in the street. It just slips through customs, into suburban kitchens, and into student dorms. And then it kills. I’ve seen it. Two students I knew. Far from home. Far from family. Thought it was manageable. Thought it was nothing serious. They were dead before anyone could help. Their parents never saw it coming. Their friends still don’t understand.

This is the truth governments don’t say out loud: every shipment that isn’t destroyed is a funeral waiting to happen. And yet leaders waste time. Meetings. Statistics. Summits. Talking points. All while another container slips through. Another coffin is nailed shut. Stop it. End the debate. The only answer is destruction. Burn it. Sink it. Crush it to dust. Don’t lock it up in warehouses. Don’t tally it up like it’s prize money. Don’t put it on slideshows to prove progress. It isn’t progress if the product still exists. If it’s still intact, it’s still a threat.

Forget comparisons. Contraband is not immigration. Immigration is people. Contraband is poison. Linking them is lazy politics, and it insults the dead. So choose. The oceans are already the frontline. Every ship carrying poison is a weapon aimed at our streets. You don’t negotiate with weapons. You neutralize them. Every shipment destroyed is a life spared. Maybe one life. Maybe a hundred. Doesn’t matter. The math is always in favour of fire.

The cost of delay? Obituaries. Graves. Families shattered. Empty chairs at the table. The cost of action? Flames on the horizon. Waves swallowing ash.
Pick the cost you can live with.Powerboats are coming. Poison is coming. Funerals are coming—unless we make them burn before they reach us.

Burn the cargo. Save the living. That’s the manifesto.

Too simplistic
You said it’s on container ships
So do we start blowing up cargo ships?
Of course not, because rich men stuff is being transported too
In those cases the war on drugs reverts to the usual slow but reasonable methods

What next? hang all people that look like a suspect’s description?

It comes in via containers at airports.
It comes in via ships at ports
Ships, subs, and powerboats drop such at the coastline edge, picked up by traffickers.
Cargo ships are searched by Coast Guards when they enter coastal waters in North America.

They are criminally charged when caught.
Gosh, must I spoon-feed your simplistic post..rolleyes
You are getting, like, jumpy...meandering away from the topic...

Fentanyl seized in N.L.'s largest-ever bust enough to kill half the province, police say

CBSA seizes 197 kg of cocaine at the Blue Water Bridge

Your Head really hard...the above are criminally charged.

I am not going to explain the above to you; stop pretending to be an idiot.

Well, what is contradictory about the drug issues in America and Canada is, no one forces anyone to use illegal drugs the use is voluntary, therefore the people who die because of their irresponsible and weakness have no one to blame but themselves. Some politicians are happy to use the issue for their advantage on other issues, like deporting brown people and destroying the economies of countries who don't play ball with them

One must manufacture such contraband before a demand is made for such products.

Eventually cartels are aware of its addictive indications. Initially sell it cheap, then raise prices.

Gang warfare starts, and humans die.

Most of the North American imports of drugs come from Mexican drug cartels.
The coca cultivation is concentrated in the Andes of South America, particularly in Colombia, Peru and Bolivia; this is the world's only source region for coca.
Bricks of cocaine, a form in which it is commonly transported
Around 90% of the world's opium comes from Afghanistan, and most of it is destined for the illicit market.
China remains the primary source of fentanyl and fentanyl-related substances trafficked through international mail and express consignment operations environments.
