WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. military said it launched another strike Friday on a boat accused of ferrying drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing two people.

The Trump administration’s campaign of blowing up alleged drug-trafficking vessels in Latin American waters has persisted since early September and killed at least 183 people in total. Other strikes have taken place in the Caribbean Sea.

The military has not provided evidence that any of the vessels were carrying drugs.

The attacks began as the U.S. built up its largest military presence in the region in generations and came months ahead of the raid in January that captured then-Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. He was brought to New York to face drug trafficking charges and has pleaded not guilty.

1. Trump must have needed a hit of killing- it's his favorite drug.

2. This is the United States military committing, cold blooded murder

How much does each one of those missiles cost us anyway there was a story we’re running out. Even if we were to prove unequivocally that they had drugs on that boat, it’s still murdered. It’s not a capital offense.

3. Real headline: Trump has 2 people murdered without any evidence of their guilt.

Trump is getting up there with Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, and Mao for causing deaths.

COVID 19 first go around 14 million dead worldwide.
Canceling USAID in Africa @ least 1 million dead. More to come. Musk and Thiel are Afrikaners they
don’t like black Africans.
Renee Good and Alex Pretti
200 or so Venezuelans, Columbians, and Caribbean Islanders murdered in boats w/no evidence of a crime.
6,000 Iranians, ? # of Lebanese, ? # of Palestinians in Gaza by the Israelis … Trump stopped a cease fire.
RFK Jr. and his insanity about science
? # of people in Nigeria
? # of people ICE has deported or the man ICE dropped off in Buffalo in the winter who was elderly
and blind.
120 + Iranian sailors
5 cops because of January 6th … 140 injured.
A bunch of Jewish people attending a Synagogue in Squirrel Hill, (Pittsburgh) after Trump blamed
“International Money Men” for funding a caravan of migrants in South and Central America.
? of girls who got caught up in the Epstein/Vlad/Trump/Musk international child sex trafficking ring.
Ivana Trump … just a guess
Bombing Syria
Climate Change … the Blue Whale might very well go extinct along with a lot of people too.
And he is planning to do even more as he hides in his White House Bunker and Merde Logo.

Btw Narco-Terrorism is a made up word.

coming soon to America.

5. Where's the Epstein Files?

That d-bag hasn't got us so distracted that we forgot why he's doing this.

6. Murder...

On the high seas.

7. Deflection, deflection, deflection.

8. All involved

need to be put under oath and present the evidence that there was drugs actually being moved and if not they need to be indicted and jailed. All of them including Trump and Vance if both had any part should be impeached and then tried for murder .

9. More murder by the fascists.
