2025 is not the time to be a small time fisherman in the waters of Cuba
I guess money is more important than their lives.
Whenever President Trump takes on evil the Democrats (and ABC) can be counted on to take evil's side.
only killed 3? keep going.. hunt them all down!
US forces idle at sea looking for war 😅
GOOD! BLAST THESE CRIMINALS OUT OF THE WATER!!!!!!
@1:00 this shows his care for human life.. joking about innocent fisherman 👀
Ummm. Due process?!? Shouldn't people be apprehended and given a trial?
Usa the best
Keep America Safe Again!
Why would drug smugglers sit still after a boat was hit on the move?maybe us is a terrorist state now.
Liberals would rather drugs flooded our streets versus doing anything
You should want proof the corrupt democrats are not making money on letting drugs into the United States. Trump has been steps ahead of corrupt democrats. He is not going to do anything wrong because corrupt democrats have been just waiting the last 9 years for that gotta moment. Corrupt democrats are upset because they can not make any more corrupt deals for themselves
It would have taken at least 3 months for these boats to get to the US without stopping for fuel or food! All of this is highly unlikely, at a range of 2700 miles!
As a United States citizen and a veteran of the United States Army, I voted for President Trump, and this is the exact type of action. I want my president to take to protect my country, my family, my friends and citizens like myself. I approve this message and I approve these actions. I don’t need the media to intervene nor is democrat to say that that’s in you man these are drugs. These are drug smugglers. This is poison. They bringing to our homeland and if you can’t understand this, then you need to leave this country and go live in Valenzuela or Palestine or Africa. I want my president to continue these type of actions against drug smugglers. They need to be obliterated destroy abolish removed from the planet. I continue to support my president and my Congress. I do not want no Democrats to vote against this type of action. We need this action as American citizens.
Good
If that boat was just sitting there it definitely was not a drug boat.
If the boat was sitting still why didn't they just come up to it and take it over so that they can prove there's drugs on there.?? First you have to prove there are drugs on the boat. Blowing it up and saying so doesn't mean it's so…. WE ALL KNOW TRUMP IS A MASSIVE MASSIVE LIAR
Drugs are illegal but guns are legal
Good
FANTASTIC!!! KILL EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THESE TERRORIST DRUG RUNNERS!!! the crazy delusional democratic party are just absolutely pathetic and disgusting along with you and your shitbag disgrace of a network!! The crazy liberal woke nutjobs are in need of some serious mental health help!!! GOD BLESS PRESIDENT DONALD J TRUMP AND HIS GREAT ADMINISTRATION!!💯🇺🇸 MAGA! 💯🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Looks like murder to me
Trump likes to murder, innocent defenseless people
OMG get the story right abc
Making Artificial Reefs Great Again 🎣
Why are we dumping drugs into the oceans!?
It's going to take more than $15 contribution for Trump to enter the Pearly Gates and using the military as a police force is just plain Un-American. Shooting humans like fish in a barrel is not going to impress the Big Man.
Nah this isn't cool💯 I just hope hell is real.
Correct the wording ABC News..small Drug boat. Carrying drugs. Drugs that kills 100,000 Americans every year.
He should just bomb Detroit and Chicago first.
Someone needs stop this murderous monster ! He must stop killing before gathering all the evidence ! He is DISGUSTING !
Keep on sending the message! We are hunting you ❤
Lies and murder at please, 0 credibility usa
Since when do you just blow people up in international waters? Under what jurisdiction?
Burn baby thank you trump! War with Venezuela lol if will be a good training
This is BS issue created by the liberal press. When the US is fighting a declared terrorism organization (the cartels) proof to the media or anyone else is not required. Did the US report back on attacks against ISIS or Al Qaeda…NOPE!
Is this not what dictators do, kill without judge or jury? All young men
There are definitely different motives behind this. Boats like these are raided hundreds of times daily (mostly just fishermen who get inspected for drugs, exceeding catch rules, etc.). Sadly, I don't think the brave soldiers who launched a tomahawk missile miles away at some guys in a fishing boat will be featured in the next Captain Phillips.
But no one is even stopping to sniff along US 27 where you can see the haze over the industrial park in Nicholasville, Kentucky. The drugs that kill Kentuckians are local, even if the ingredients are flying into Keeneland and Wilmore and rolling up US 27, they are rolling OUT of the dragstrip.
I say if it runs, blow it up. It's running away for a reason.
There are drugs on those boats just like there are WMD in Iraq.
Narco “terrorists”. The word barely means anything these days given the orange clown calls everyone a terrorist. Drugs runner? Sure. Terrorists? Ok bud.
What in the world have we become 😢 Bombing boats, NO PROOF FROM OUR GOVERNMENT OF ANY CRIME BEING COMMITTED BY THOSE THAT HAVE BEEN MURDERED .
Mr. Donald Trump is out of control, and I don't see anything being done to stop the murdering people without due process. Senate, Congress, Supreme Court, Federal Courts. Somebody stop this. Where are you?
The way things are going with Trump, the only things missing are the swaztikas, and the gas chambers. They said it would never happen again, but he gives the orders to kill without trial, and without proof. He is a dictator.
human rights violation. This is violation of human rights .Murdering people
Keep striking. Save American lives
