When I first wrote ("Murderers for Trump") about President Trump ordering air strikes against "narco-terrorists" on boats in international waters in the Caribbean Sea, there had been three "lethal kinetic strikes." The last time I checked, there have now been 21 such air strikes in the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean, with 83 people killed.
The Pentagon has not acknowledged what aircraft the military is using to conduct the strikes, but it is supposed to include MQ-9 Reaper drones armed with Hellfire missiles, AC-130J gunships, and F-35 fighter jets.
