A Clear Act of National Self-defense

And just like that President Trump now has Democrats mourning the deaths of Venezuelan narcoterrorists. pic.twitter.com/2Ju3vpQEjP

Many American lives saved by use of military force against drug vessel. It was a clear act of national self-defense. The President acted prudently and justly.

…If you’ve served in the SOUTHCOM AO, working CT/CN, you’ve been waiting your entire career for this modification to the rules of engagement. Shoutout to my former colleagues in Miami who made this strike possible.

As a person who has had multiple friends (and children of friends) die of fentanyl, nothing puts a bigger smile on my face. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Stop poisoning our citizens!

Don’t fall for the propaganda - drugs are an instrument of unconventional warfare & now that the cartels are legally classified as terrorists, what you are watching are counter-terrorism ops in real time. These terrorists are working with all of America’s most serious enemies - from the CCP to Iran. Just like the tariffs, people really do not understand: the balance of power is being restored worldwide. That means no longer standing by & allowing your enemies to grow stronger while you grow weaker. It means an end to economic warfare, drug warfare & the all-out assault on sovereignty. It means no longer using failed models - like using law enforcement whose jurisdiction ends at the U.S. border - to counter nation states & terrorist orgsworking together w domestic enemies to destroy this country by any means necessary.

Unlike when Obama used strikes to kill American citizens like Anwar al Alaki, targeted action agst terrorist threats is legal.

Those crying about this strike should get used to it - this is business as usual in counter terrorism ops which I witnessed many times over 15 or so years reporting on distant battlefields.

When your child dies from fentanyl, it is not because they were an addict. It is because of a lucrative, deliberate, ruthless campaign to kill as many Americans as poss, destroy families & weaken the nation from within.
