Rubio says US will 'blow up' foreign crime groups

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has said the US will "blow up" foreign crime groups if needed, possibly in collaboration with other countries. "Now they're gonna help us find these people and blow them up, if that's what it takes," Rubio said during a visit to Ecuador. He also announced the US will designate two of Ecuador's largest criminal gangs, Los Lobos and Los Choneros, as foreign terrorist organisations.

Asked whether smugglers coming from US allies, like Mexico and Ecuador, could face "unilateral execution" from US forces, Rubio said "co-operative governments" would help identify smugglers. "The president has said he wants to wage war on these groups because they've been waging war on us for 30 years and no-one has responded. "But there's no need to do that in many cases with the friendly governments, because the friendly governments are going to help us." The Ecuadorian and Mexican governments have not said they would assist with military strikes.

Oh, god, yet another utterly risible "tough guy" act from a pitiful, cowering wimp.

So, who were those 11 people who got blasted? What was the intel? Whupahhen?

I have a feeling if it was open-shut we would be hearing about it 24-7 from Trump.

Likely as not, fisherman.

Word this morning is that Trump executed some North Korean fishermen,

Extra-judicial Killings were predicted and expected step for this sadistic madman.

He's practicing on foreigners.

We're next.

I think that Trump is attempting to outrun spreading public outrage and his own mortality.

Donald is one effing crazy mofo. If he thinks he needs to kill people, even lots of people, to keep what he's got, then that's what he will do.

Hey MAGA, can one of you tell me when you switched from not wanting any foreign conflict to wanting to spark foreign conflict by illegally blowing up random people you claim are whatever you want them to be so you can blow them up?

The Venezuelan Air Force just did a "fly-by" with two armed jets over the U.S. Navy ships in a show of force.

So Trumpy retaliated by calling them names.

Fire up the popcorn.
