"Under my Standing Authorities as Commander-in-Chief, this morning, the Secretary of War, ordered a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization (DTO) conducting narcotrafficking in the USSOUTHCOM area of responsibility just off the Coast of Venezuela."
"Intelligence confirmed the vessel was trafficking narcotics, was associated with illicit narcoterrorist networks, and was transiting along a known DTO route. The strike was conducted in International Waters, and six male narcoterrorists aboard the vessel were killed in the strike. No U.S. Forces were harmed. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!"
"The Trump administration notified Congress earlier this month that the U.S. is now engaged in an official armed conflict with drug cartels, according to a confidential notice obtained by the New York Times. The Times reported at the time that the notice was sent to several congressional committees and adds new detail to the administration's thinly articulated legal rationale for why three U.S. military strikes the president ordered on boats in the Caribbean Sea last month, killing all 17 people aboard them, should be seen as lawful rather than murder."
U.S. forces carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel off the coast of Venezuela that was described as affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization and engaged in narcotrafficking. Intelligence reportedly confirmed narcotics trafficking and links to illicit narcoterrorist networks along a known DTO route. The strike occurred in international waters; six male narcoterrorists were reported killed and no U.S. forces were harmed. The administration notified Congress that the U.S. is engaged in an armed conflict with drug cartels, and officials framed recent lethal maritime strikes as justified under that legal rationale amid controversy.
