  1. We don’t know and never will know whether the people killed were criminals or not.

    We do know, however, that the people who order these strikes are criminals

  2. Can anyone in the states confirm if it’s harder to get drugs recently?

  3. A wonderful world we live in, where a couple of sick individuals can just kill whoever they want with no consequences at all. All the while the majority of us doesn’t care and those who do can’t do anything about it.

    Humans truly are the sickness of this planet.

  4. How did they know it was a Tren de Aragua vessel? Did they proudly sail their flag like pirates of the caribbean?

  5. The ICC needs to issue an arrest warrant for Hegseth immediately! These are crimes against humanity!

  6. Bluntly, if a Trump-appointed head of agency says something – *safely assume it’s a lie.*

  7. If I owned a yacht, I’m avoiding the Caribbean like the plague. Just might get blown up while out on vacation

  8. Damn. The Republican Terrorist, Nazi and Pedophile Party of America is killing people 1st and not even asking questions later. Amazing these terrorism murders are going unchecked in the international community. United States Terrorist organization needs stopped before they kill us all

  9. These guys are just the dnd murderhobo party that somehow took over a country by murderhoboing. It’d be funny if it weren’t so goddamn awful

  11. Is this why we need a defense budget of over a trillion dollars a year? So we can bomb a few pontoon boats?

  12. I hope this entire administration will be brought to justice and put in jail eventually.

  14. On this season of Deadliest Catch…….. ” The Northwestern is stuck in port after a drone strike ordered by Pete Hegseth”

  15. I’m not sure how Trump expects to get into heaven while murdering people.

  17. Remember when the u.s. would intercept and board potential drug smugglers instead of indiscriminately blowing up fishing vessels in international or foreign waters?

  18. They are using the South Park “It’s coming right for us” defense. Pretty sure that makes it legal. /s

  19. why does the article say alleged when the quote inside the article doesnt?

  20. Poking the bear. Waiting for a violent response to justify incursion. There’s another country who likes to do this a lot. Wonder where the U.S. got the idea 🤔

  21. I literally don’t fucking care if the people being targeted are cartel or not. The United States should not be carrying out extrajudicial killings.

  22. They are trying to normalize violence against suspected criminals before they try to normalize violence against innocents.

  24. They will never have to answer for their crimes. In case you missed it, last year the Supreme Court ruled that the president has absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for actions involving “core constitutional powers” such as commanding the military to carry out strikes for the “war on drugs.” This immunity has bled into every facet of our democracy and has created a king. This is largely why the GOP has kowtowed to Trump because everything he is doing is legal by the definition of the law.

    I’m afraid this ruling has been largely lost on the majority of the citizens. The noose has been strung and democracy is on the gallows.

  25. If I know Trump is probably just looking for some bribe money from the cartels

  27. “See, we are trying to get rid of the drug traffickers!”. This shouldn’t be an announcement from a cabinet minister. What, some random Pentagon spokesman wasn’t available?

  28. Even if it is a drug boat how is it okay to murder them?? No trial

  29. How many people have to die for us to stop asking about the Epstein files?

  31. Just murdering random people in the Gulf of Mexico. “Oh look a boat with brown people, they must have drugs!”

  32. America should probably be having those No Kings protests every weekend at this point.

  33. The US just docked two of its ships in Trinidad and are bringing troops ashore to train in the terrain with local ttdf (Trini army). Trinidad is a 15 mins boat ride to Venezuela, seems the us are getting close.

  34. I can’t wait to see the report that drug deaths in the USA haven’t dropped at all💀

  35. I will write it over and over again

    Trump pardoned the creator of one of the largest drug networks ever made.

    Pardoned him. The guy is directly responsible for facilitating MILLIONS of drug sales. Pocketed the money.

    He’s now warm at home, with his crimes forgiven.

    Meanwhile these boats with people of undetermined guilt get bombed from the sky.

  36. He wants Venezuela to retaliate so he can claim the US is being attacked but he’s going to attack anyways if Venezuela doesn’t bite, it will just mean more work for him if he has to manufacture the narrative for bombing Venezuelan cities

  38. “I don’t think we are going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war.” Hmmm clearly he’s never heard the phrase “Actions speak louder than words.”.

  39. They’re just targeting random boats for sport at this point. There’s no evidence to justify any of these strikes 

  42. I’m surprised they aren’t reprising WMDs for this manufactured crisis.

  43. It’s all an operation to desensitize the US population to them murdering people with no due process, jurisdiction, or evidence.

    They will pick another target slightly closer to our own citizens next

    Republicans are anti American traitors

  44. This is murder plain and simple! USA needs to be brought to justice and the UN needs to sanction this government of Trump and Hegseth! Put these POS in jail!

  45. This is going to cause instability in the country for no reason. The reaction to stuff like this is not war but asymmetric attacks. This is making America unsafe and we are sitting idle.

  46. Why does it feel like he waddles down to the situation room before bed to watch a murder.

  47. The world police have turned into the world bullies in record time. What a shame.

  48. Drug running or not it’s murder and a violation of international and US law

  49. I’m not religious but Trump has broken all the 7 deadly sins and fits the bill of the antichrist.
