If you're a fentanyl-pushing thug sailing the high seas, you'd better rethink your life choices because the Trump administration isn't playing games. On Thursday, the U.S. military lit up yet another drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean with a no-holds-barred kinetic strike, courtesy of Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
Bahdahbing! goes the dynamite, and three more cartel scumcrumpets are swimming with the fishes.
This marks the 17th such takedown we've seen publicized under President Trump's iron-fisted approach to the border crisis he inherited from the Biden disaster. Most of these hits have been in the Caribbean's international waters, though a few have scorched boats off the Eastern Pacific. It's a message loud and clear: America is done being a doormat for these poison peddling terrorists.
"Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of Defense carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization," Hegseth said. "The vessel was trafficking narcotics in the Caribbean and was struck in international waters. No U.S. forces were harmed in the strike, and three male narco-terrorists, who were aboard the vessel, were killed."
Hegseth dropped a 20-second video clip on X showing the boat chugging along like the little boat that could, until it couldn't. Boom. He skipped naming the exact terrorist outfit behind it, but the point was crystal: these strikes are non-stop until the cartels get the memo.
Hegseth said the strikes will continue until "narco-terrorists" stop "poisoning" Americans. "To all narco-terrorists who threaten our homeland: if you want to stay alive, stop trafficking drugs. If you keep trafficking deadly drugs—we will kill you," Hegseth said.
Tally it up: At least 69 suspected traffickers have met Beelzebub thanks to these Trump-ordered ops. Only three survivors from two boats; one pair shipped back home for prosecution after the admin politely suggested their governments throw the book at them. The rest are simply collateral in the war on the opioid apocalypse that's claimed way too many American lives, to the tune of about 200 a day.
Ahead of the latest hit, Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio gave the Hill's bigwigs a rundown on Wednesday. Predictably, the Dems whined like it's 2017 all over again, clutching their pearls over "legal authority" while ignoring the body count from their open-borders fiasco."The notion of kinetic strikes without actually interdicting and demonstrating to the American public that these are carrying drugs and [are] full of bad guys, I think, is a huge mistake and undermines the confidence in the administration's actions," said Sen. Mark Warner (D-VA).Oh, please, as if Warner's crew ever cared about "demonstrating" anything beyond virtue-signaling photo ops at the border. Meanwhile, Republicans are all in, because—duh—this is how you actually save lives.
"They've got good legal justification for what they’re doing," said Idaho GOP Senator Jim Risch, the chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. "The president really ought to be congratulated for saving the lives of young American people. He should be thanked by the many parents who won’t even know that they won’t have to bury kids prematurely. They're doing good work. They're doing it lawfully, and I encourage them to keep it up."
Spot on, Senator.

Spot on, Senator.
The Trump team has bent over backward with at least 13 bipartisan briefings to keep Congress in the loop, because transparency matters when you're dropping truth bombs on terrorists. Expect more fireworks: This admin's locked and loaded, turning the tide on the narco nightmare one explosive reminder at a time. God bless America, and good riddance to the bad guys.
