Despite killing 200 people in attacks on suspected drug boats, US has done little to slow drug trade

[IcyPeas]

Trump/Hegseth have murdered 200 "alleged" drug smugglers on boats. We don't even hear this on the news. WTF? And they are spending Billions on this!! Makes me sick. Murderers. There's a timeline chart within the article. Just sickening.

But the months-long attacks have reportedly done little to combat the flow of illicit drugs into the country, raising questions about the effectiveness of an operation that law of war experts say amounts to extrajudicial killings and war crimes.
...
The cost of the operations has exploded to at least $4.7 billion, according to research from the Watson School of International and Public Affairs at Brown University. That total includes more than $3.8 million on naval deployments, $616 million on aircraft deployments, $15 million on special operation forces, and tens of millions of dollars spent on munitions, researchers found.

And yet cocaine, by far the most-exported drug from South America, “remains highly available, highly prevalent and relatively inexpensive,” Dr. Carl Latkin, a professor of public health at Johns Hopkins University, told the newspaper.

Gen. Francis Donovan, who is overseeing the strikes as head of U.S. Southern Command, told members of Congress that the strikes are forcing alleged traffickers to change their patterns — but they’re not “the answer.”

1. Surely you did not believe this was about drugs??!!! This is about Dipshit Donald's desire to

shoot somebody and not lose support. DEAR LEADER is a very close characterization of the
first rider in the 4 horsemen of the apocalypse. The FALSE KING who promises peace and
brings destruction and everything that comes with it in the form of the next three horsemen.
Grab your ass and hang on, it is probably going to get interesting! I am not somebody who
tries to scare people with biblical BS, but every now and then sometimes it is just funny how
life imitates things we are programmed to believe.
