"Through peaceful means."
Cartels deserve everything coming.
Everybody knows all the fentanyl comes from China.
Are there going to be any warships in the South China Sea?
All Venezuelans must support the North American soldiers in the detention of Masbruto, Diosdado, Padrino, the Rodriguez brothers, and all the corrupt generals. As soon as they (mil ancianos🤣) hear the first explosion, they will run away. Todos los venezolanos debemos apoyar a los soldados norteamericanos en la detención de Masbruto, Diosdado, Padrino, los hermanos Rodríguez y todos los generales corruptos. Apenas escuchen la primera explosión, saldrán corriendo.
4 years??? More like 40 years.
Send some Apache helicopters with the 30 mm and hellfire rockets it’s on 🤨😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
If Trump succeeds in killing off cartels and illegal drug flows stop, Trump will also have to mobilize most reserves and many active military to stem public mayhem resulting from American users of illegal drugs seeking alternate supply.

Trumps version of creating American jobs😢
Child Traffickers vs Venezuela and all of South America, yeah right. Orange child traffickers vs South America who will win? If he even tries, it would make Vietnam look like a Sunday School picnic. The orange manages to implement terrorsim on the US public including on the Venezuelan community there, but every time he tries to step outside US borders he gets his azz kicked
Che Guevara will join Venezuela to fight invanders
This is great news
No president has done as much as Trump in helping to protect our country
Imagine how worse gangs and cartels would be getting without Trump's taking action
Shts gotten outta hand
The world hasn't had a day of peace since that crazy, demented Trump came to power. He's speeding everything up, dramatizing everything, inventing everything, tripling it up. He wants to steal what doesn't belong to him. And we're not going to let him. We're going to defend what's ours and any Latin American country. We're not going to allow that crazy Trump to come and invade places that don't belong to him. That's why the wall is there. From his wall back, it's theirs. Mexico doesn't care what they do in the US. We're in solidarity with the catastrophes and nothing more. What they do to their country doesn't matter to us. But they're going to respect our country, whether they like it or not. A country as lacking as the US cannot continue to be the world's leading power, much less with a mentally ill President like Trump. We're going to defend ourselves if he attacks. Mexico has nuclear bases. If he gets one, Mexico won't just blow up. We'll blow up with the Americans and their atomic bomb, all because we have a crazy president who doesn't respect any Latin American country. Even though we don't want to, we're neighbors, unfortunately
NO FOREIGN ENTAGLEMENTS ❤= PEACE + PROSPERITY HOME❤and FOR HUMANITY ❤WE SHOULD RESPECT JESUS CHRIST'S TEACHINGS❤& CONSTITUTION ❤
I’m guessing we’re seizing and redistributing so the government gets the money
TAKING OUT BIDENS INCOME! HOW GREAT TRUMP IS!
However the one’s buying Trump’s gold visa for rich from other countries to bring their businesses to the USA have mostly been purchased by The Cartels.
Doesn’t Maduro look a lot like Sadaam Hussein and y’all know what happened to him!
Total bullshit that has never worked. To stop the flow you need to take away the market and the money. Why are these stupid politicians wasting money. If the would legalize everything and make drugs cheep and easy to get that would solve the cartel problem. Saves money and lives. Look at Portugal’s success. Trump doesn’t get all these stupid things he does cost us money. Most out of touch baby president ever.
It is incongruous that the United States wants to fight the cartels after many years of letting them operate and not taking any action against the terrorist state of Israel, which continues to kill children and innocent people!
He was supposed to start with the CIA!
And he is doing it in the most inefficient way possible🤦
Why not we have the ships sitting idle.
.. and the drugs are killing everyone
Let’s take it too them big time
Yeah china also has lots of manufacturing of fentanyl go there also 🤣🤣
Convivial welcome include scammers as well
Its about time the big cartel gets busted instead of teenagers on the street
When will he take on the drug dealers in the US. They are in the US government
Cartels are the Hamas of Mexico
Bring the thunder, strike like lightning, rip the cartels like an earthquake, vacuum their filth like a tornado and wash the stink from the earth like a tsunami. Go TRUMP!
tRUMP drug enforcement is misdirected, he need to arrest and imprison the USA users who great the the demand, only then will the supply/dealers dry up.
Thank you President Trump!
Maduro your days are numbered.
I definitely approve of that. These gangs. They're just after a prophet. Now the teens can concentrate on homework and stuff instead of lighting up a marijuana joint horse sniffing crack up their nose it's a great idea 🇺🇲
Caribbean do not want america war ship in our waters… poisoning our water.wicked america,has nothing to do with cartel.. drugs is what fuels the american economy..places are not giving america drugs so they want to invade..
All these other leaders of this country that's how they make their money is through drugs
DISTRACTION! RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES!
Finish them all cartels
Crack this one Trump. Fund all recovery housing for your country to get better. Gotta clean up your own before you can point your finger at others. Accountant.
Reinstate WWII destroyers. Cartel navel ships are garbage. The 16” shells will scare the Cartels to death. All cartels need permanently shut down.
Why?
We need to destroy cartels. On the flip side of the coin though, anyone who dies of a drug overdose gets exactly what they deserve. They bargained for it. Leftists need to learn to "Just Say No." The word on this seems to be spreading. Speak out.
Trump loser Maduro winner 🏆
