Recently, reports came out claiming that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth authorized a second strike on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean. As Congress investigates the incident, some in the GOP are divided over whether to support these strikes at all.

Join others crying out to the Lord day and night.

 

From Fox News:

Senate Republicans are divided on their view of the deadly Sept. 2 strikes in the Caribbean as congressional inquiries into the matter mount, with some arguing that subduing suspected drug boats is the right move while others question the legality of the so-called double-tap attacks.

The Senate and House Armed Services committees are gearing up for hearings into the strikes after reports that Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, later confirmed by the White House, authorized a second strike to eliminate survivors on a suspected drug boat in the Caribbean.

But there is a growing tension among Republicans over what to do. Some support the desire of Senate Armed Services Committee Chair Roger Wicker, R-Miss., for stringent oversight of the incident, while others see the strikes as part of the Trump administration’s crackdown on drugs flowing into the country.

At the center of this debate is a U.S. attack on a speedboat said to be carrying drugs through the Caribbean on September 2. IFA covered the attack at the time, in which the military struck “positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists,” according to President Trump. However, recent reporting shows that Secretary Hegseth approved a second strike designed to eliminate survivors. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt confirmed that the Secretary approved the attack, but stressed that it was Admiral Frank Bradley who actually gave the order.

Some Republicans have come out in strong support of these strikes, such as Senator Bernie Moreno, who said he was “very, very, very supportive of killing drug dealers.” On the other hand, some are pushing for more transparency. Senator Tom Tillis stressed the need to “get to the bottom of it,” saying, “Obviously, if there was a direction to take a second shot and kill people, that’s a violation of an ethical, moral or legal code.”

Democrats, meanwhile, have taken a strong stance against the strikes, with some even accusing the Trump administration of committing a war crime.

Strikes on narcoterrorists have continued since the initial September 2 attack, and they show no sign of stopping any time soon. President Trump recently highlighted the strikes as part of his plan for a “Fentanyl Free America” while also confirming the military would soon start striking drug traffickers on land as well as sea.

While some may object to the military’s use of extreme force, it is also important to remember just how harmful drugs like fentanyl are to our nation. As these strikes continue, let’s pray for wisdom and prudence for our leaders as they work to protect us.

What do you think of the military’s strikes on narcoterrorists? Share your thoughts and prayers below.

We cannot compromise or let compromise sneak in in our fight against drugs. You can clearly see these are drug boats, no fishing poles or nets or anything. And why would they be where they are located with 2 big motors and an abundance of fuel. Don’t be swayed by compromise. See it for what it is. Why are those people there in these boats if it wasn’t drugs that they are trying to kill our citizens with. See them as drug terrorists. They oppress people, children, hold people hostage and exploit people. See the truth. Stand for righteousness! No compromise!

I feel that if it were my child that died from the fentanyl or any other drug I would approve of what the Bible says, a life for life. May God open the eyes of those that are doing these drugs and become saved from their harmful ways in the hands of God.

I’m saddened by the loss of life as the Father wishes that none should perish but all might come to saving faith. However, these people make their choice and if successful will bring death to someone in America. They are an army of premeditated murderers and must be stopped. May the Lord some how get to them and open their eyes to their eternity before it’s too late.

To MN who responded to my comment below. I will repeat what I wrote the first time. You can insult me all you want, but as Christians, we believe that one day we will all stand before Jesus and give an account. He will be our judge and good luck standing before Jesus and giving an account of this hypocrisy. It is not my definition of hypocrisy, it is the very definition itself, all of these people in outrage over the Democrats raising concerns about these boat strikes and having no concern for the drugs in our country while caring not 2 cents about Trump pardoning a major confirmed drug dealer. Meanwhile, you say you want facts while you simply ignore the huge fact I presented, that the amount of fentanyl coming into this country from Venezuela is pretty much 0! All these people moaning and crying about Democrats not wanting to stop drugs coming into our country when none of it comes from Venezuela but Trump pardons a huge drug dealer. That is hypocrisy by anyone’s definition. You say that you have first hand information about how our military conducts these boat strikes and how much care they take to make sure their information is accurate but if that is true, then you must know that this administration has taken away much of the system to make sure that their actions are legal. These boat strikes are seen as illegal by many experts and not just those from Venezuela. This would not be front page news unless these strikes were seen as illegal by many experts. Again, Jesus is our judge and hypocrisy from the religious people of his day was one of the major, if not the major issue that Jesus addressed in His teachings. Religious hypocrisy today from those who claim to be true to God is the exact same as in Jesus’ day.

Father, give much wisdom to our president and Secretary Hegseth as to these strikes. They have protected us from these drugs coming into our country and for that I am grateful. But I pray there would be much discussion and wisdom in the decision making that all may be done to your glory and the good of our country.

Sadly & wrongly, many of today’s wars are wrongfully being fought by those who “think” they have the authority to make the decisions that are rightfully & Constitutionally assigned to the president & the dept. of war.
But that has been part of Satan’s evil plan for years. Use weak minded, easily deceived people, in Congress / senate, to overthrow presidential authority, as well as dilute / nullify executive branch decisions that rub opponents the wrong way or simply are opposed to out of their inability to control their hatred due to their loss of power & control. Many of those people are short term, band-aid thinkers…never considering long range implications & solely trying to run their decisions by emotions / feelings. Unfortunately, we have far too many senators, reps, officials in office today who are very knowledgeable but think they can make decisions with 3rd grade emotional thinking. I’m not afraid to say it but people like Mark Kelly (AZ) & Tim Walz (Gov of MN) are textbook examples of “elementary minded” children. They are & continue to be “easily manipulated” by our enemy Satan or anything else upsetting to “their ideology”. For the good & long term health of our nation, I’d love to see people like that gone tomorrow because they violate their oath of office continually & suffer no accountability for it. Its painfully obvious they have no respect for our laws or our Constitution. They are trying to recreate history, worried more about “re-election & their name”. In the meantime, what the president, Hegseth & our military leaders are doing is “grade school simple” – they are keeping their promises, destroying sections of the “new world order” & forcing “inserted leaders” to reconsider or abandon their tyrannical methods….or else.
Nobody likes war but it is sometimes a necessary element of the battle to establish “normal”.
Arguing that those who drive boats are “not part” of the problem is mere redirection. Those people know full well what they have on board & they’re being paid big $$ to deliver it. They are not victims, survivors or just regular people trying to make a living (as many Dems & wishy washy Repubs argue)…they are active operators in the criminal drug trade & know full well what they are doing & the risks. The Sec of War, military leaders & president know their responsibilities & they are doing them. Let’s continue to pray for them & their protection. Let us pray equally for those fighting, in our gov’t, to keep drug trafficking “active” in anyway, shape or form – pray their lies are exposed & any covert connections that some may have be exposed. Sadly, there are a few compromised officials getting kickbacks from the drug trade.

If want is happening now with the boat strikes would have happened years ago when drugs first started coming into this nation …killing and addicting our people…so many lives would have been saved and Americans wouldn’t be so much in the minority right now. I believe this is one area President Trump & Sectary of War, Pete Hegseth and others are putting America first and are trying to keep their promise to Make America Great Again. These people have been warned to stop this and they won’t! Therefore, as God says, there are consequences for our sin. The consequence in this crime…is getting blown out of the water. They know this yet they still are doing it…in my opinion it shows the heart of the Cartels…they don’t even care about their own people …they are still sending them!knowing they are going to get blown up! You think they care about Americans? The answer to that is a sure “NO!” All of us wish it hadn’t come to this extreme but it has and now something has to be done and I support President Trump & Mr. Hegseth. If any of us personally where fighting in a war and the enemy is hanging on to your helicopter blades are you going to let him into your helicopter…heck no your not…because he wants to kill you…this is no different. I wouldn’t trust Tom Tillis and these other republicans as far as I could throw them. They’ve proved they are Rhinos, they’ve proved their getting kick backs or using the drugs themselves and want access. They are no better than the radical left, in fact they maybe worse, they are tying President Trumps hands at every turn …they are not for him they are against him and against us the American people. I’m not voting for any Republican who can’t get behind their own President of the People of this so called Republic…and I am Republican. It’s time to clean house on both sides. Tom Tillis is not coming back Praise God…but Roy Copper running against Michael Wattley for Tillis seat is no better in fact worse. He was a very liberal & corrupt governor …will not get my vote!! And shouldn’t get anyone’s! We have let our country go to pot…literally…at least President Trump is man enough to try and fix something’s. And no matter what anyone thinks God’s hand as definitely been upon him to get done what he has. And if the far left and the far right get out of his way much more good could be done for the American People. We are in a fight for our country people on all fronts it’s not a time to be divided …a house divided will not stand we have to stand together and fight for our constitutional rights and for the right to worship God openly and freely….and for free speech without censorship,…our right to bear arms or we are going to lose it them and our nation. America is deservant of God’s just wrath out of His love and faithfulness because of all the sin we have committed as a nation here and abroad …America has not yet truly repented even after the assassination of Charle Kirk …and that’s a whole other dark story being swept under the rug…thank you Candace Owen’s for not letting them…at the risk of your own life…Lord protect her and her family, and help others take seriously that she has real receipts. Lord Jesus help us repent of sin and turn back to You, Lord God, if not, we are sunk as a nation just like those boats. Lord let Your mercy triumph judgment over America once again. In Jesus’ Name help us get all corruption out of American government and governments around the world. In Jesus’ Name, stop the deep state and expose each and everyone of them for who they are and may they be removed from their places of power and into a jail cell if they have committed crimes against America and it’s people. Your our all powerful God, Who will never abandon those who belong to Jesus by grace through faith in Him, and whoever of us who are found in Jesus, abiding in Him and He in us, we will bear much fruit no matter what we must go through. You will be with those that love You, Lord God, and obey You, we can rest in that fact because You have promised and You will do it. You cannot deny Yourself. As far as the drug boats go…we reap what we sow …help them stop come into our shores and the missiles will stop. Help them get we mean business and they stop before any more loss of life has to happen. But until then it does have to happen…just like closing the boarder had to happen, and has to still happen. We are desperate for You Lord whether we know it or not! In Jesus’ Faithful Name I pray asking that all these things mentioned and not mentioned can come to a peaceful end in Your wisdom, and without drugs coming across our shores that has helped no one! Amen.

    Its a discussion, not division. And we have to be realistic…some people commenting on threads like this are NOT Christians. They roam sites like this, hoping to cause divisions, disagreement, etc. through purposeful lying & other methodology.
    God will give us discernment for those people, who they are…if we ask for it.
    A healthy body of Christ will have differences, various opinions, etc. but in the end, we serve Jesus, love each other, agree His word is infallible & love those who come on these threads to purposely cause divisions, etc.
    Were not always going to agree in everything but in the end, God will help us to sort through minor bumps in the road.

Father, I pray for wisdom for President Trump and Secretary Hegseth as to what is happening. Help them humbly to seek you in this matter. May we not act like those in the past who did wrong things in the name of protection. Don’t let us go down that path! As hard as it is to watch these boats bring drugs into our country, may we seek you for right and righteous behavior as we act against unrighteousness! Keep us from the slippery slope of doing anything, right or wrong, in the name of protection.

The truth is that 0%, ZERO percent of the fentanyl seized by US officials originates in Venezuela. ZERO! The administration has provided no proof that they are stopping drugs coming into our country, it us just ‘trust us.’ And all these comments MOANING and crying about why don’t Democrats care about drugs when Trump just pardoned Juan Orlando Hernandez, a key figure in 400 tons of cocaine smuggling. All of you making comments, why don’t you care about that!!! 400 tons! of cocaine smuggling and he gets a pardon. All of the comments on this about evil Demoncrats who don’t care about abortion while we are pro-life, and now you watch our government murder people with no evidence of crime and ‘oh they are doing the right thing.’ How much more hypocritical can you be? And I will get responses saying I’m not a Christian and I’m not being truthful. Go ahead, but your hypocrisy stinks to high heaven. Say what you want about me, but I remember when Evangelical Christians actually spent their time witnessing to their friends and co-workers, trying to get them to church, praying for the lost, now all I see is prayers just like in Luke 18 where Jesus taught us how NOT to pray, ‘Thank God I am not like other people….’ If you really believe you will have to face Jesus and give an account for your life after you die, good luck with that when all the comments here are so hypocritical.

    Oh well. There are hypocrites out there. Yep, God continues to work on everyone…even the people judging others about what seems to be a self-determined definition that involves hypocrisy of others people.
    I can tell you this, while your comments are well meaning, as well as emotional…from experience & first hand knowledge, the military, Sec of defense, president, military officials do NOT order strikes *today* w/out intel, study patterns, origin point knowledge, etc. They don’t order strikes on boats in international waters without due cause, data, etc. – its a violation of the international water treaty. And for everyone’s knowledge, if a boat or ship is hightailing it through international (or local) waters with “undeclared or falsely declared cargo”, that is a criminal act under int’nl waters treaty. The boats being struck each have undeclared cargo (or, if you choose, NON-declared cargo). Each boat has NOT registered with a destination point…no declarations, bill of lading or other legal documents have been found, upon inspection, floating in the water by “any coast guard, American or foreign”. Those are common items found after the sinking of any ship or boat.
    The only nation arguing about the strikes is….Venezuela. Hmmm, I wonder why? And for the record, they are not putting up much of an argument!! (gee, I guess that would be a ”giveaway” of an origin point, of a boat…if they argued vehemently)
    Please, for the sake of everyone on this thread & site….bring facts to your comments. It’s an emotional issue but sometimes emotion has to take a step back for truth & facts to come forward.

This is not a matter of “revenge” – it is a matter of protecting millions of Americans from illegal drugs – many of which are added to our regular medicines. Four years of unfettered “treason” which allowed the murder of hundreds of thousands of Americans; allowed sex trafficking of children who were NOT vetted or with their parents. Most were brutally raped by cartel gangs before they even reached our borders.
Our government encouraged and allowed this to happen repeatedly. NOT ACCEPTABLE.
If we kill “terrorists” who are murdering Americans, we must defend ourselves and our nation. The cartels understand “death” and seems to be the only thing that is a deterant. They are beginning to understand that America is OFF LIMITS for their crimes of murder, drugs, sex trafficking of children. Amen

The narco terrorists have been killing U.S. citizens with a lethal drug. This is a chemical weapon and an act of terror. Unlike other drugs which cause addiction, fentanyl is deadly in the tiniest amounts. This is proxy terrorism sponsored by our enemies. Therefore lethal force is justified. And it should be aggressively implemented towards the foot soldiers & all who are involved.

blowing up the boat with drugs is good. a second just to kill the survivors is inappropriate. letting them go begs more drugs; arresting them costs a fortune and possibly not possible, depending on the circumstances. not a good situation all around. the drugs need to be stopped. trying to intercept them and arrest them most likely nearly impossible. very hard either way

Why are politicians concerned about drug dealers conditions, or well being,when these people are bringing drugs into our country,which work towards the decay of the people in our society.The only reasoning is to me,somebody or someone is getting kick back from the Cartels.Corupt politicians on both sides of the ill are walking the fine line.That is why the cartels don’t like our politicians they are fence walkers , they take the dirty money on one hand and then on the other claim to be so up right.What the administration is doing is exactly what needs to be done, infact we need to hit Mexico their President is a puppet for the cartel, Colombia, and Venezuela with a hard attack, and those politicians who come out against this action are getting paid off and don’t want to see the money chain or line go by the waistside.These politicians need to be watched and apprehended ,and either face their charges or turn these spineless people over to the cartels to deal with,and they well be dead in less than 24hrs.

I wonder why any elected official would be against stopping the mass killing of thousands of Americans a year — about 87,000 fentanyl related deaths alone in 2024. How many deaths are from other drugs trafficked into the US each year? Over the 4 years of the Biden administration, the United States government let envaders into this country armed with “biological weapons of mass destruction,” i.e., deadly dangerous drugs. Why would we not stop this.
Lord, I pray that all members of the government with the authority to stop the mass killings take their responsibility seriously and realize that boats don’t traffic drugs to this country, people do. The people who traffic drugs that cause the deaths of so many must be held accountable. I pray according to your will, “Your eye shall not pity: life shall be for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot” (Deuteronomy 19:21).

Senator Thom Tillis stressed the need to “get to the bottom of it,” saying, “Obviously, if there was a direction to take a second shot and kill people, that’s a violation of an ethical, moral or legal code.”

Once again Senator Tillis is offering his carnal thoughts, not recognizing that when in war for the protection of our nation against drug-dealer cartels, (and the larger issue of freeing the people of Honduras), “ethical, moral or legal code” does not apply. Think “Nazis” of WW2.

I wonder how many of these politicians against the strikes have a monetary interest seeing these drugs get to US shores. They again show that they care more for drug dealers than US citizens. Everyone knows that the demoncrats will not support anything Trump does. He could cure all diseases and they would say it was unlawful and find one of their minion judges to agree with them. God’s judgement is coming and their continued resistance of God will bring God’s wrath upon them. Repent of your evils and ask for God to remove the demons that possess you. I trust in God. 🙏😇🙏❤️

In my opinion, we need to be making examples of drug runners. These people are attempting to bring toxic, lethal drugs into our nation. This is dead wrong. These narcoterrorists don’t really care about the toxicity of the drugs that they are trying to smuggle into our nation. In the prior Administration, drugs were smuggled into our nation quite easily. This appears to be the new way of trying to get the drugs in to the U.S,, since the borders have been closed. I firmly support the current Administration and their efforts. I strongly support the killing of those who are attempting to kill our citizens. Lord Jesus, I pray that You will guide and direct the Secretary of State and our military in this effort. Thank you Jesus.

If this is war, then we must to some extent trust those who are responsible for it to conduct it ethically without civilian micro-management. A just war, like any other, requires bloodshed. Those conducting it are morally responsible to use no more cruelty than necessary to achieve the objectives. Yes, I would prefer that we take prisoners, but that may not have been feasible. We may express our concern (congress is responsible for that much), but we have to trust those on the scene.

By now these seagoing drug runners should know better than being there. Their blood is on their own hands.
May the Lord grant wisdom – and mercy on errors.

The war on lethal drugs and terrorism is just that, war. Nobody should be clutching pearls in the middle of the war on these threats. If they are not eliminated, they will come back, like termites and devour what the Lord has built in the USA. It’s a war, we are supposed to kill them.

Dear dissenting senator:
Do you allow drug dealers to carry poison and death into your home? These drug dealings are invasions of our authority to protect our family members.
If you want to give the criminals access to your front door and your children, so be it. But many of us want the drug attacks and deaths to stop. They do not have the legal protections we citizens have, and you need to state why they should have them. State the authority of invading criminals.
This is hard and we don’t like it. But neither should we give them access. Don’t help them kill more foolish people.

The deeper issue here is this incident is being used to divide the people of America more. It is using toxic empathy to villify the war on killing American youth via drugs and human traffiking. Lord I ask you to silence the hindering spirits in this propaganda war against America. Let God arise and his enemies be scattered. Jesus turned over tables when he saw injustice. Tough love is in your scriptures and all the abuse from our children being targeted requires people being held accountable for aligning with evil. Working on a drug smuggling boat directed by a narco terrorist leader is aligning with evil. God is a God of love and justice. The millstone principle applies here as targeting of our children is pure evil and needs strong justice applied. I bind toxic empathy and subversion propaganda and loose the justice of God in this situation and God’s will be done in reference to targeting of our precious children.

If it takes 100 strikes to keep drugs from hitting our shores and protects the citizens of our country from accessing heinous that kills us and destroys families and therefore ruins our country. I’m for it to continue. God Bless Pete Hegseth, the Dept. of War, the President of the United States and The USA.

What’s there to be divided about these people are peddling death to America and that’s exactly what they deserve. There is no mistake. We know they are drug boats and I could care less. If a second strike was ordered. They don’t deserve any courtesy whatsoever and they certainly don’t need to waste our tax dollars bringing them back to prosecute them Just to have them deported! obliterate them all and then knowing where the cartels live, they need to take them out with their whole family included because those little ones are gonna grow up to be drug dealers too

Love Pete Hegseth and how he fearlessly defends America despite the evil machinations of the Democrat Party and America’s foreign enemies.

As others here have mentioned, what comes to mind is Romans 13:4:

“For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.” ~ Romans 13:4

I am also reminded of Exodus 15:3: “The Lord is a warrior.”

Praying in support of President Trump and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, and in agreement with other intercessors here, in Jesus’ Might Name; amen!

These strikes are driven by a war, a war against the people of the United States of America.
Illegal drugs have zero place here or anywhere. It is immoral and sinful.
What our President is doing is to free Americans from this atrocious plan by illegal drug dealers.
I stand with our President in doing what it takes to end illegal drugs.

The issue of a “second strike” is a non starter, as it came from an anonymous source, typical democrat playbook tactic to discredit a PATRIOT. I am not saying he did and I am not saying he didn’t. But the media loves to jump on “facts” that later are discredited. By then, the damage has been done and they celebrate. If someone was “not authorized to comment”, then he should keep his trap shut, or at least never be listened to.

Fentanyl kills how many deaths have we seen in the last few years? Thousands. Yet that’s okay? No, it’s not. It as serious as someone taken out a weapon and shooting into a crowd of people. When that person(s) is caught? They go to trial and when convicted then to prison. Well, in this case those in the boats carrying hundreds of pounds of fentanyl are just as guilty of doing the same thing. They have to be punished and the only way is to stop them with whatever means possible

MAGA is not divided over war on terrorism – this is just a democrat tactic to try to divide. We are at war with terrorists. I would consider it a dereliction of duty if Hegseth FAILED to direct our forces to annihilate all terrorists – no matter how many strikes it takes. Are these criminals not murdering Americans by the thousands? Would our enemy restrain their violence against our forces? Would they play by any rules but their own evil agenda? THINK IT THROUGH!!! Who are you defending with an article like this? Terrorists or the righteous wielding of the sword of justice? Read scripture! Romans 13:4. Anything less is disobedience and Christian cowardice.

Lord, clear my prayer, yet keep my thoughts intact.
It is not for me to worry, but it is for me to petition.
These petitions are not of the void; they are the burdens upon my heart, which You already know.
I ask, Lord, that Your wisdom rest upon the leaders of this beautiful world You have entrusted to us.

What happening in America. I was shocked to read the GOP Has Split on the Elements of Destroying the Drugs coming to America from the South America. The people operating the Drug Boats are just pawns in this operation. The “Real Violent Operator’s are the men/women that is receiving the Large Amounts Money from Drug Traffic Money. Those men/women do not care about what the drugs do to the people who uses the drugs. The Bosses of the Rings are getting rich.
I believe if members of Congress who fight to stop the drugs flowing into America must be getting Kickbacks from the Drug Runners. I believe President Trump has every right to use military, and would soon start striking drug traffickers on land as well as sea.

    I agree with you 100%! And I support President Trump 100% regarding whatever he has to do to put a stop to these dangerous drugs coming into our country, which I consider to be an act of WAR against our country!! and if the GOP has a problem with that then perhaps they should switch parties.

“Democrats, meanwhile, have taken a strong stance against the strikes, with some even accusing the Trump administration of committing a war crime.” It is amazing that no democrat took “a strong
stance” over any of the many destructive policies of the Biden administration including allowing thousands of pounds of fentanyl into our country or how 300,000 + children crossing the border into ou
r country are still missing. Or how millions of illegals have been allowed into our country and I read that in California there are entire areas that are guarded by armed illegals who are growing drugs. FATHER GOD please send YOUR angels to surround and protect all U. S. Citizens against enemies foreign and domestic and spiritual. Please protect President Trump and Secretary Pete Hegseth against those enemies in our government that want to use lawfare to hinder all positive actions of the President. Order President Trump’s and Secretary Hegseth’s steps according to YOUR Will and stop the way of the mouths that come against everything positive happening to protect America in JESUS NAME! Amen!

It is always the MO of the demonic to divide. I heard about some boat fishing doing 100 knots an hour. Really? trying to escape and get the drugs into this country, was the purpose of that speed. one would think the drug dealers would quit but the demonic must have a hold on the drug trafficers so much so that they insist on trying time and time again to get their products into the US. Righteousness exalts a nation. Sin is a disgrace to any nation. Sin, in this case, is the wokeism that is driving all the DEI stuff that is tearing the nation apart. More evidence of the MO of the demonic, tearing apart . Father give the leaders backbone to stand strong and bless every one in the whole Congress with wisdom. Help them to recognize YOUR wisdom and to follow that insight. In Jesus Name, amen.

So, Democrats, we should spare the lives of those on drug-trafficking boats so they can live to be on the next boat? Isn’t the object of the attacks to eliminate the drug traffickers, not just the boats? You make me wonder whose pockets are being lined by your protective stance.

One of the first thing a military leader evaluates is the force necessary to overcome the resistance of the enemy. These narc o-terrorist have an ample supply of military grade weapons. Look at the Cartels in Mexico. Why should the Navy use less force if there is a great threat? America is being drugged and I believe many of our politicians have a hand in the pie. No wonder they oppose the operation. Why would anyone object to stopping drugs from coming into the country? The government has been tracking the drug shipments from South America for decades. Mr. Bush didn’t do much to stop it. Mr Clinton did even less.
Lord please give our leaders wisdom. You know best for our country. May you give the godly leaders boldness and defeat the plans of the enemy that your name would be glorified. You sent bees against some of your enemies and we know you hate the things that these Narc o-terrorist are doing. Keep our armed forces safe as they execute the plan you have for them. May America be known as a righteous nation serving the living God. Amen!

    The only way to kill a snake is to cut off it’s head. Can you sit there and say that the Narc o-terrorist are godly? Can you say we need to sit on our hands and allow Americans to die from this epidemic of drugs? Our God is merciful and I pray the drug dealers find Christ but the fact of the matter is “Evil prevails when good men do nothing”. The United States is at war with these evil people

The Sedition Six accomplished their goal. Now they have fractured the GOP because they have cast doubt in the minds of the GOP Party. That is what their video was supposed to accomplish. Now the GOP has members who are afraid they are going to prosecuted for doing the right thing. They think that defending our country is not worth the effort and could get them arrested and kicked out of their jobs. How spineless can they get? When they are doing the right thing, and some idiot comes along and with a few lies, they are able to plant seeds of doubt among the entire party. Do you think DJT had doubts about what he was doing when he was on trial and facing hundreds of years in prison? No, he stood up to them and fought like a patriot. Protecting the Homeland from enemy invasion is a righteous cause. All of you were gung-ho about sending troops into foreign lands and fighting unending wars for someone else’s cause. But you are afraid to stand up to the enemy within our own house and fight to save our country from the ravenous Communists living among us. The Communists right here at home are a much bigger threat to us than any other enemy in the world. You have to be righteous and stand up to tyranny when it comes to your door. The way the entire GOP has to do. If you do not fight this you will be voted out of office and the Communists will take over. They were within frog’s hair of taking over before Trump got elected. If you think you can stop now and everything will be alright, you are sadly mistaken. They will not quit until they have you in chains. Trump has them beaten so far, but you are going to wave the white flag of defeat, because you are to cowardly to fight for your freedom and the freedom of the country. If you don’t fight this, the Communists will take over. God help us all. We have God on our side, they do not have God on their side.

      Let’s narrow it down to posting on social media, not the question of being legalistic. Most here are pray-ers, intercessors and know their authority by the Name of Jesus we pray since we are joint-heirs with Jesus.

War ethics are complicated. Collateral damage and unintended consequences always happen. Minimizing and mitigating these risks are important, but should not to the detriment of the mission. The illegal drug trafficking, violent criminal gangs, and all associated matters are at stage 4 metastatic cancer levels, which means the most extreme measures to irradiate them is necessary. Ultimately the worst possible demise would be for Republicans to present an open door for democrats to win in the 2026 midterm elections, which would once again allow the flood gates of crime and criminals to take over and destroy the quality of life for all Americans. I pray wisdom and cool heads will prevail.
