In short:

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the US has has conducted its 10th strike on a vessel suspected of carrying drugs.

The frequency of the strikes has increased from one every few weeks in September when they began to three in one week now.

What's next?

Mr Hegseth warned narco-terrorists smuggling drugs into the US that the military would "map your networks ... and kill you".

Open murder on the open waters in plain sight.

The U.S. government is nothing but racist fascist murderers.

Shame on American citizens not revolting against this.

This is exactly how the Nazis gained power, by their citizens doing absolutely fuck all because those being murdered don’t look like them.

Take back control Americans. It’s almost too late.

Americans WANT this.

Yet the DEA has no evidence of this, and the boats they are striking couldn't reach the US. But hey, Lindsey Graham wants to make Venezuela the 51st state. (Sorry Puerto Rico)

I'd say pff, why a failed state, take Argentina instead, might get something out of that 20B after all.

I kid, I kid, I know they're after Venezuela's oil. They're creating the pretense for "further action" right now.

Sure, why not go for Argentina? Pretense to remove tariffs for the beef, while simultaneously screwing over the US cattle ranchers. But still, gotta get them oil prices down while sending the deficit to the moon Alice, to the MOON!

Obama was rightly named a war criminal in my circles for a lot less. First the drones were far away, and now they're right outside our door.

'Fraid they'll be coming home to roost soon.

I'm afraid it's worse than that. Every war is a way to learn lessons about new toys. They learned from Ukraine that coms can be broken. The next weapon is going to be autonomous.
