BEING ROY NEARY: DARK CLOUDS AND NARCO BOATS, THE COMING STORMA Gonzo Dispatch from the Age of SecWar HegsethBoiling FrogsThey said the war was on the narco routes.
They said it was on the fentanyl highways around the Caribbean and Pacific.
They said it was on the smuggling lanes that snake through jungles and across open ocean.

The United States military, under the command of SecWar Pete Hegseth and orders from the President, has conducted a sweeping campaign of lethal strikes against vessels it claims were used by narcotics traffickers. As part of Operation Southern Spear, U.S. forces targeted suspected smuggling boats in the Caribbean and Pacific, killing dozens of people in the process and claiming these operations are essential to national security.
