Bummer: US Military Strike Tren De Aragua Drug Boat

Believe it or not, lots and lots of moonbats are having meltdowns over this

US military kills 11 in strike on alleged drug boat tied to Venezuelan cartel, Trump says

The United States conducted a deadly military strike against an alleged drug boat tied to the cartel Tren de Aragua, President Donald Trump said Tuesday.

The US president said 11 people were killed in the strike in “international waters.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio described the “lethal strike” as taking place in the “southern Caribbean” against “a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela.”

The use of military force against Latin American drug cartels represents a significant escalation by the Trump administration and could have serious implications for the region.

Um, really, CNN? Are we supposed to be upset that a drug runner boat with a bunch of violent gang members was taken out? If Venezuela is upset, to heckadoodles with them

“Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility. TDA is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, operating under the control of Nicolas Maduro, responsible for mass murder, drug trafficking, sex trafficking, and acts of violence and terror across the United States and Western Hemisphere,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social.

“Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!” he wrote.

The State Department designated Tren de Aragua, which originated in Venezuela, as a foreign terrorist organization and specially designated global terrorists in February.

The US has amassed a large number of military assets around the Caribbean and Latin America, drawing the ire of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro.

Screw him, too. Marco Rubio seemed to hint that this is going to happen more and more. Good.

Asked by CNN about the legal authority for militarily targeting the cartels, Rubio said, “I’m not going to answer for the White House counsel, suffice it to say that all of those steps were taken in advance.”

“The president has designated these as terrorist organizations, which is what they are,” he said.

CNN didn’t seem to care much about the legal authority for Obama to drone strike terrorists during his time in office. Nor did they stress about Biden’s legal authority to cancel school loan debt, even as the courts said he didn’t have it.
