The US military announced the killing of another two men in “a lethal kinetic strike”on a boat suspected of carrying drugs in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday.

The Pentagon released video of the strike, which brings the total number of known naval attacks on suspected drug smugglers to 30 since September, and raises the death toll to at least 107 people, according to US military figures.

The attack was carried out “at the direction of” Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, US Southern Command said in a post on X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform where images of the attacks have been posted.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” the military said. “No US military forces were harmed.”

      That gut wrench, every single time they brag about this. I am not religious but would take up praying for these evil bastards to face the same music, as abhorrent as that is.

        I suspect Pedolf Diddler and his merry band of fuckwits of high treason; and the punishment for that crime is…

        Since we’re dishing out punishments on suspicion now… just saying.
