"Yesterday, at the direction of President Dummkopf Trumpf, the Department of War carried out three lethal kinetic strikes on four vessels operated by Designated Terrorist Organizations (DTO) trafficking narcotics in the Eastern Pacific. The four vessels were known by our intelligence apparatus, transiting along known narco-trafficking routes, and carrying narcotics. Eight male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessels during the first strike. Four male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the second strike. Three male narco-terrorists were aboard the vessel during the third strike. A total of 14 narco-terrorists were killed during the three strikes, with one survivor. All strikes were in international waters with no US forces harmed. Regarding the survivor, USSOUTHCOM immediately initiated Search and Rescue (SAR) standard protocols; Mexican SAR authorities accepted the case and assumed responsibility for coordinating the rescue."

Aviation enthusiasts predicted that attacks would be in that area by simply tracking the US surveillance flights in open source databases: drudge.com. The most underqualified individual to ever lead the DOD had purged competent senior leadership in Stalinesque fashion this year. Pete "Hic!" Hegseth also irritated and "lost the generals and admirals" with his idiotic pep talk at Quantico, VA this past September. His Signalgate OPSEC blunder cost people their careers and he wasted billions of dollars attacking the Houthis this year on behalf of Israel. The Trumpf junta is reportedly making DOD personnel sign Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA) as if military operations were a TV show. USSOUTHCOM CMDR Admiral Alvin Holsey abruptly resigned a few weeks ago, probably because he didn't want anything to do the imminent and illegal bloodshed in Venezuela, Mexico, or Colombia. Before "falling up" to becoming USSECDEF, former colleagues reported that the misogynist racist Pete Hegseth would occasionally come to work either drunk or hungover. Moreover, Hegseth had secretly paid a financial settlement to a woman who had accused him of raping her in 2017.
