Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced yet another successful counterstrike on narco-terrorists off the coast of Venezuela and promised that the vaporization of drug-running boats will continue until the traffickers stop trying to poison the American people.
Hegseth posted a video of the successful operation. It was similar to other clips on social media that rarely end well for the boat or the individuals operating it.
As such, the War Secretary announced that four such individuals associated with designated terrorist organizations, operating on a speed boat traveling in a known drug transit corridor, were no more.
"Earlier this morning, on President Trump's orders, I directed a lethal, kinetic strike on a narco-trafficking vessel affiliated with Designated Terrorist Organizations in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility," Hegseth wrote on X. "Four male narco-terrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike, and no U.S. forces were harmed in the operation."
"The strike was conducted in international waters just off the coast of Venezuela while the vessel was transporting substantial amounts of narcotics - headed to America to poison our people."

Trump Administration Just Put a Massive $50 Million Bounty on a Dictator’s Head
Hegeth suggests that the beatings would continue until the morale of the American people improves.
"Our intelligence, without a doubt, confirmed that this vessel was trafficking narcotics, the people onboard were narco-terrorists, and they were operating on a known narco-trafficking transit route," he added. "These strikes will continue until the attacks on the American people are over!!!!"
President Trump also posted a video of the counterstrike on his Truth Social media platform.
"A boat loaded with enough drugs to kill 25 TO 50 THOUSAND PEOPLE was stopped, early this morning off the Coast of Venezuela, from entering American Territory," he declared.
The President posted a similar video two weeks ago, sternly warning narco-terrorists to "stop selling fentanyl, narcotics, and illegal drugs in America, and committing violence and terrorism against Americans."
Apparently, the drivers of this particular boat didn't heed that warning. As such, their mode of transport was needlessly escorted to the great marina in the sky.

The Trump administration's war on drugs is a defensive one, and Hegseth and President Trump are wise to note that these are strikes meant to stop American-killing weapons in the form of fentanyl or other illicit narcotics.
Adding to the success is a reminder that no U.S. Forces are being harmed in the course of these strikes.
