In the waters off Venezuela, the U.S. has been showing its nautical prowess, asserting itself in an aggressive campaign against drug trafficking and the narco-terrorists behind it. The recent narco strikes under President Donald Trump’s administration have apparently brought more success than anyone could have expected. With drug-smuggling boat incidents reportedly down by a whopping 91%, these efforts seem to be hitting the mark, or rather, sinking the boats. Some might wonder about that mysterious remaining nine percent, but they probably just didn’t get the memo yet.
Secretary of War Pete Hegseth made it clear that these activities are just starting, with a firm commitment to push back against threats to American society. His message is blunt: America won’t stand idly by while its people are threatened by narco-terror organizations that have disrupted countless lives. The difference, they claim, is striking, compared to previous policies that reportedly allowed a flood of drugs that claimed thousands of American lives.
Of course, nothing gets past the critics. As discussions heat up, some media outlets and Democrats have been questioning the legality and morality of these operations. A second strike on a singular drug boat raised eyebrows, as reported by certain mainstream media, though the accounts differ about the events following the initial attack. While Secretary Hegseth is adamant about not seeing survivors due to the chaos of the situation, it’s funny how some folks want to apply the Geneva Conventions to narco-terrorists as if they’re inviting them over for tea.
Senator Mark Kelly voiced concern about potentially breaching international laws, admonishing the U.S to maintain high ethical standards. It’s curious how loudly some voices can echo when they see an opportunity to criticize the current President, conveniently forgetting the whale of missile strikes launched during previous administrations. Selective memory sure does work wonders when it aligns with their narrative, dismissing their own past actions as they stand ready to weigh in with their righteous critiques.
When all is said and done, the actions taken by Trump’s administration may raise hairs among a few, but for many, the message is clear: America is committed to stopping the blitz of drugs poisoning its communities. The assertiveness comes not from a place of lawlessness, but a resolve to safeguard American citizens against an epidemic more vicious than some real wars. If the price is sunken boats and less destruction on American soil, the controversy might just be the least of anyone’s worries.
