US Drone Strike Takes Down Suspected 'Drug-Carrying Submarine' in Caribbean Waters
In a dramatic video released by President Donald Trump on Saturday, footage shows the devastating strike of a US drone on what he described as a "very large drug-carrying submarine" in the Caribbean. The operation, which occurred earlier this week, left two suspected narco-terrorists dead and captured, while four others on board were killed.
According to Trump's statement posted on Truth Social, the submarine was carrying massive amounts of fentanyl and other narcotics destined for the US. He claimed that the interdiction prevented potentially up to 25,000 American overdose deaths from reaching the country. The exact location where the strike took place remains classified.
The strike marked the sixth US military operation targeting suspected drug smuggling vessels in the Caribbean since combat operations began last month. Pentagon officials have refused to publicly disclose further details on the operation.
US Air Force B-52 bombers flew a high-profile "show of force" mission near Venezuelan waters on Thursday, fueling speculation about Trump's intentions in the region. The White House declined to comment on Saturday on the recent strike or other ongoing operations.
Trump's announcement comes amid growing tensions with Venezuela, where the US has been seeking to curb narco-trafficking. Earlier this week, he confirmed that CIA activity was underway in the Caribbean, and Air Force B-52s were deployed for a visible display of military strength near Venezuelan waters.

. It sounds like they're just trying to get the good stuff out to people who need it. Like, what's wrong with a little fentanyl? We've got prescription meds that are way more deadly than this stuff 
. And 25k overdose deaths? That's just crazy talk! We should be talking about how to help people, not strafing them with drones 
. I'm all for keeping the bad guys in line, but is this really the best way to do it? 
! So like there's this suspected 'drug-carrying submarine' in the Caribbean and the US drone squad took it out 
. Apparently, they found some huge stash of fentanyl on board which could've saved up to 25k American lives from overdosing 
. I'm all for taking down narco-terrorists but why the secrecy around this op? 
. Can we get more info on what really went down? 
And what about the poor people on that submarine?! Were they even guilty or was it just a wrong place at the wrong time?
And now there are all these rumors about Trump wanting to take on Venezuela too... it's getting way too intense for me! 
anyway it seems like trump is trying to do something about narco-trafficking and he's not holding back with his statements and airstrikes what are your thoughts ??
