Boats on Blast: Marco Rubio Says U.S. Military Will Continue Bombing Narco-Terrorist Drug Vessels

President Donald Trump's administration will continue putting cartels and their narco-terrorist drug vessels on blast. Secretary of State Marco Rubio says explosive military strikes on drug-running boats from south of the U.S. border will keep happening. Why? They’re working and sending the message that the U.S. does not play around.

Secretary Marco Rubio just CONFIRMED the lethal military strikes on narco-terrorist boats will CONTINUE because it is an imminent threat.
"Interdiction doesn't work. You want to stop these drug cartels, you have to make clear to them they're not going to get their boats here! Interdiction, they don't care about losing a boat. They don't care about losing some drugs. They've already factored that into their business model."
"What will stop them completely is that they know if they go out there, they're not going to make the journey. Look, this is an imminent, immediate threat to the United States. If you tell me there's a boat full of drugs headed towards the United States to drop off drugs here and poison our people, that's as big a threat as if some country was coming into attack at an American city. It needs to be stopped."
"And boy, let me tell you something, you're not seeing nearly as many boats right now as you were a couple weeks ago. So it has worked and will continue to work."

Rubio just laid it down like a cartel execution order — no more slap-on-the-wrist “interdictions,” we’re talking straight military kill shots on narco boats. And he’s right: cartels don’t give a damn about losing a shipment, they bake that loss into their profit margins. But if every time they launch a boat it ends up as fish food, suddenly the math changes. That’s deterrence, gangster-style. Treat cartel smugglers like an invading army because that’s exactly what they are — foreign enemies pumping poison into our cities. And the fact Rubio admits the traffic already dropped proves it: nothing makes criminals rethink faster than staring down the barrel of a missile.

Rubio makes it simple if drug cartels think they can still get through, they will. Strong, clear action is the only way to stop the threat before it reaches the U.S.

Yep, stop the threat BEFORE it even gets close to our shores.

Here’s the latest U.S. military strike on an incoming drug shipment. (WATCH - NO SOUND)

I have written "Long Overdue" too many times in the last 6 months. Narcos will find another line of work if there's a chance of a missile vaporizing them.

Excellent. Sink every boat that attempts to bring poison into our country.

I'm surprised they're still finding people to drive these boats

At some point, they have to run out of boats and crews, right?

Commenters can already imagine Democrats siding with the cartels because of Trump.

Democrats are gonna be so sad, again!

Democrats will start supporting the cartels soon.

Democrats are going to have a temper tantrum like always.

Democrats are already the pro-illegal alien, pro-crime, and pro-men in women’s spaces party. Might as well add ‘pro-cartel’ to the list of unpopular things they support.
