According to a statement from Southern Command, the three attacks were carried out late Monday against alleged “narco‑terrorists,” in the Trump administration’s words. Two of the strikes took place in the eastern Pacific, each killing four men. In the third attack, in the Caribbean, three people were killed. “No U.S. military forces were harmed,” the military command said. “At the direction of the commander of U.S. Southern Command, Marine Gen. Francis L. Donovan, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted three lethal kinetic strikes on three vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations,” Southern Command said in the statement, which — as has become customary — was accompanied by a video showing the boats exploding after being hit by a missile. “Intelligence confirmed the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes and were engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” it added. The new strikes follow another one last Friday, in which U.S. Armed Forces destroyed a fourth alleged drug‑running boat with a missile, killing its three crew members. Since September 2, when Trump announced the first attack on a vessel allegedly involved in drug trafficking, Washington has acknowledged more than 40 strikes, which have left around 150 people dead.

Exactly what I’m getting.

What?

I wanted to post something notable from the article, but the whole article is a juicy hotpot of "wtf?!”

Cuba’s president can march with his people in the streets without needing security detail. Our politicians can’t.

Steve Cannon Bannon is toxic, so why is anyone surprised?

*A pox on autocorrect

I think he actually lifted the travel embargo and aimed to normalize relations but the bazillionaires and still angry exbazillionaire diaspora faces started melting so 2016 was the end of that.

I think they meant in terms of behavior and attitude toward the homeland, but I can be wrong.

Iran

Both are worse and coming to USA.

I can’t do that [because I respect myself too much]. Not everything needs to be said aloud.
