The Trump administration announced Friday it will send an aircraft carrier strike group to the waters off South America, escalating efforts to target what it says are drug traffickers in the region.

TIME TO GET THAT OIL! 🛢️
Trump doesn't give a crap about drugs.His end game is colonization of the Venezuela oil reserves.
Trump wants to be a dictator so bad 😒
Good, we should have done this years ago. All I see is people protesting Israel, but what about the 70,000 americans who die from this poison every year?.
There's no third world army that can stand against us. Thats why We spend trillions, not to take on russia, but to topple peasants with aks 😂. Too funny
Go navy🇺🇲💯🙏
God always helps Anerica
Idc about the Caribbean stuff but I wanted to comment on that beautiful ship ❤ Navy, Let's Go!!
This has nothing to do about drugs. This is Rubio's wet dream come true, regime change in Venezuela which has the world's largest oil reserves. We just can not, it seems, let socialists countries exist, yet we can bailout Argentina for $40 billion.
Aircraft carries travel in a strike group of multiple types of ships and even accompanied by subs. To send out a strike group costs billions of dollars depending on the lenth of the deployment. This is a huge waste of money for yet another endless war.
USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 USA 🇺🇸 BOOM 💥 BOOM 💥 BOW 🙇♀️ BOOM 💥 BOOM 💥 YOU F AROUND YOU FIND OUT
4 years BIDEN did NOTHING to STOP the SLAUGHTER of America from DRuGS ! 100,000 DOA every year for the last 4 years ! Thank GOD TRUMP is BLOWING the DRUG CARTEL out of the WaTER !
A Nightmare for the Cartels
Make NO MISTAKE
So much for the "rule of law", I hope they are willing to accept the new rules of engagement for themselves too…btw
Dear Mr. President,
Thank you very much, Sir, for destroying America’s enemies. We, as Americans, feel that you truly love our people because of your courage and leadership. This devil has been destroying our country for decades. Non of the democrats did anything about this demonic nation. You, on the other hand, have been fighting Americas enemies both inside America, and outside America since the day you arrived in office. Can we re elect you for 4 more terms?
Having to fight so many devils tells me that you will need a bigger military. I am all for that. Mr. President, we should earmark a great deal of tariff money for our military.
How about setting aside 20 trillion dollars, to start with? We could do a lot of things with that money.
I would recommend that we invest in Newport News Shipyard. We should immediately expand it TENFOLD. We could swiftly begin building (10) Ford Class Aircraft Carriers right now. That would mean that in seven short years, America could have (12) Ford Class Aircraft Carrier Task Force Groups ready to deploy and protect our great nation. I believe that our powerful enemies would suddenly crow much more softly on that great day. Even if war still began, we would be much more prepared for it.
It is a tragic mistake, born of our communist traitors and greedy enemies to suggest that we should ever scrap an aircraft carrier. In the next world war, we will need every single one of them. As soon as the (12) Ford Carriers are complete and ready , we should begin the process of preparing the Helicopter Aircraft Carriers. We should repair and rebuild the (10) Nimitz Class Aircraft Carriers, giving them the latest technology, lasers, weapons, and brand new A1B energy systems. When they are made ready, they should be filled up with as many of America’s very best helicopters of all disciplines as can be fitted on board. They should then be deployed to serve and protect the brave forces of The United States Army, and The UnitedStates Marine Corps as Wartime Nimitz Class Helicopter Aircraft Carriers as part of the American Naval Task Force Group.
These (10) carriers will save thousands of Americas son’s and daughters by getting our people in to shore much faster, and getting the wounded out of harms way and onboard the hospital ships. Also the Apache helicopters will offer suppressing protecting gun fire, as well.
America is at a place where we need to become much more protective of our valiant troops. We, as a nation, are not having babies anymore. Our young men are no longer marrying young American Ladies. The left-wing politicians , university professors, and democrat leaders have gotten legislation passed that allows woke judges to take away everything from the young men, in a divorce court , and ruin their lives. Young men are opting out of marriage, now. No marriage means no babies. In (18) years time, that will mean a much smaller military. Also, thanks to the feminist democrats, we have lost 60,000,000 babies to the butchers in abortion clinics, as well.
America should be increasing production of all disciplines of military helicopters now. Our peacetime military is over (2,000,000) men; we have helicopters for them.
But when war begins, our military ranks will swell to (20,000,000) soldiers. We will only have 10% of the needed helicopters at that point. Also, we need to invent the world’s best body armor and make millions of them, for the army we are going to have in the future, because of logistics. We won’t have the time to do it then.
Our country needs to dramatically increase the skilled trades apprenticeship programs for the sake of the shipbuilding industry. I think the government should be involved. We need this now!
Mr. President, please ask Elon Musk to build us 50,000 Optimus III Robots for the shipyards.
Long time coming – This is what happens when you have poked the bear for decades. Just think – If Venezuela and Columbia would not have polluted the US for decades with Drugs/Human Trafficking and every other nefarious activity this would not be going on.
The military needs to start refusing these unlawful orders.
I hope they ask China for help.
The Ford is slated for scrapping but America can no longer build ships sonthey keep it running.
❤
This reminds me of the Russian tanks amassing on the Ukrainian border, while Putin said he wouldn’t invade.
What a DISGRACE coming from a Super power, oil and Gold are not Drug GREED are more dangerous than cancer of which they have no CURE .Sick people will always find themself doing SICK things,what a joke,what a DISGRACR
Did invading Afghanistan do much to stop the trafficking of opium or heroin?
The lesson would be repeated till learned.
Release the Epstein files.
Quit calling it the Caribbean
It's south america.
Illegal extrajudicial murders by our criminal president Trump.
Pete sounds like he is using Liam Neeson quote
Warmonger
TRUMP 2028 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Biden took naps and let America become a rubbish can . at least some one doing something.
TRUMP 2028 !!!
Sure, let's waste $100 billion dollars on these aircrafts and getting them out there for drug cartels that send a few boats out a month. Maybe a submarine. Taxpayers can't afford this. I guess this is what you do when you can't win wars anymore
Where you gonna do when Trump comes for you..
The Trumpanator is in town
Trumps "Big Beautiful B-2's" may make a second appearance or encore performance in either Colombia or Venezuela or perhaps both. 🔥🇺🇸🎯👽👻👍
Ex navy here. That is a massive amount of fire power & manpower.
Nicola maduro eu bimenca

This is not so much about eliminating a market as it is about controlling the market.
Think Nicaragua ‘83.
The Middle East
Ukraine at the present
It’s what we do.
I wonder when can we see a good news in America everything is getting worst
The US would of lost Midway if Trump was president by telling the whole world what and where his ships are
Little Donnie t is a loser
What's the difference between a drug cartel and a blaient thieving person in charge of something that's stealing billions from their own country!!!!!!!!???
Love it
Can someone tell Maduro to keep his criminal backside in his own country and stop bullying our country of Trinidad
Time for an actual "War on Drugs"! Not that pansy garbage they tried in the Reagan era.
We don't want thay Magna Carter initiative
