Boy Epstein must be bad. "US military launches operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking."

Narco Terrorism =💩

BTW didn’t Trump just pardon the biggest cocaine smuggler in U.S.history?
(after he paid Trump a lot of money …. Allegedly)

And how many nations has Trump attacked since getting back into the White House?

US military launches operation in Ecuador to combat drug trafficking.

US and Ecuadorian forces have launched joint operations to combat drug trafficking, the US Southern Command said on Tuesday, but neither side gave more details.

Southern Command, which encompasses 31 countries through South and Central America and the Caribbean, said in a statement on X that the decisive action was aimed at combating illicit drug trafficking.

The Ecuador defense ministry said details of the offensive operations were classified.

The announcement came a day after the South American country said Washington had joined a new phase in its so-called war on drugs.

Ecuador President Daniel Noboa, a close ally of Donald Trump, said Washington was among regional
allies taking part in the operation against drug cartels, which use ports to smuggle cocaine to international markets.

Now where is Donny Jr. gonna get his blow?

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.

Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.


Reason?
