"The most important statistic that should give people pause about blowing these boats up is that when the Coast Guard boards vessels off of Miami or off of San Diego, 1 in 4 vessels they board does not have drugs." Rand Paul tells me at reason

🇺🇸 SEN RAND PAUL: BLOWING UP BOATS IN THE CARIBBEAN ISN'T THE ANSWER "About 25% of the time the Coast Guard boards a vessel in the Caribbean looking for drugs, the boat that's boarded doesn't have drugs. So we've blown up four boats. Statistically speaking, what are the odds that one of those boats didn't have drugs? We haven't heard the names of who these drug dealers are. How do you know for certain who they are before you kill them? So I'm not in favor of the current policy. I'm in favor of the continued policy on interdiction of drugs. We do search ships, but there's a methodical way about doing this and not just dropping bombs on everyone." Source: Newsmax

🚨 UPDATE: Sen. Rand Paul DOUBLES DOWN on opposing President Trump and Pete Hegseth striking narco-trafficking boats in the Caribbean "Blowing up speedboats in the Caribbean isn't necessarily the answer!" "About 25% the USCG boards a vessel...the boat doesn't have drugs. So we've blown up 4 boats. Statistically, what are the odds one didn't have drugs...how do we know for certain who they are? I'm NOT in favor of the current policy." "I'm in favor of the interdiction of drugs. We search ships. There's a methodical approach about doing this, not just dropping bombs on everyone."

🚨BREAKING: Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) CONDEMNS President Trump's strikes on NarcoTerrorists running drugs into the US. "Did we gather the evidence from the wreckage and then prosecute them?" "What kind of person (TRUMP) would justify blowing up people when 1 out of 3 drug boats may or may not have drugs on them?"

Matt Damon reveals cocaine smugglers would crash planes full of drugs off Bimini and split the load across 10 boats so the Coast Guard only had a 1-in-10 chance of catching them “Have you ever flown over Biminy? So if you fly over, ever fly over Biminy, there are all these like Cessnas underwater, all these planes like around the island.” “They would have 10 cigarette boats, like a flotilla of boats waiting. They would crash the plane. They'd offload the drugs as the plane was sinking.” “They put the Coast Guard like figures. They're always coming for them. That's why they have 10 boats. They throw the drugs into one of the boats.” “And they got a one out of 10 chance of making it. They just scatter.” “And the Coast Guard goes after one of them and hopes they get the right one and not. It's just like, 'No, it's just taking a cruise tonight. What's the problem, officer?'”

❗️Ukrainian Navy launched strikes on Russian vessels that guard the Kerch bridge. Sobol and Grachonok vessels are key elements of Russia's shore guard used to guard the Kerch bridge. Systemic Ukrainian work to destroy Russian air defense in Crimea is paying off.

🚨HOLY SHIT: Sen. Tim Kaine says it’s “significantly likely” at least one Venezuelan boat Trump bombed was a mistake. At least one boat Trump hit showed no evidence of narcotics and 1 in 4 vessels the Coast Guard stops have no drugs at all. How is this not a war crime?

One of the most important aviation elements of the U.S. military involved in the naval blockade of Iran in the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, and the Oman Sea is the A-10C Thunderbolt II ground-attack aircraft of the U.S. Air Force and Air National Guard, which are conducting maritime patrols in support of the 15 U.S. Navy vessels involved in the blockade. The task of the pilots is to provide firepower and close air support for U.S. Navy and U.S. Coast Guard vessels south of Iran in case they encounter fast boats of the IRGC Navy. #OperationEpicFury #OperationLionsRoar

Israeli forces have intercepted a flotilla of dozens of boats that organisers say were carrying aid for people in Gaza. The vessels from the Global Sumud Flotilla sent live video feeds as they were boarded off the coast of Cyprus. They originally set off from Turkey and the Turkish Foreign Minister said the action by the Israeli military constituted 'a new act of piracy'. It is being reported that that the detained activists will be taken to a large naval ship to the Israeli port of Ashdod.

ICYMI: Two months ago, Rand Paul blew up Trump’s Venezuela pretext live on air. “There’s no fentanyl being made in Venezuela. None. Zero. These are outboard boats that would have to refuel 20 times to reach Miami. And we don’t just summarily execute people.” When Rand Paul is calling bullshit, the war narrative is collapsing in real time.

Joe Rogan just said the quiet part out loud about Trump’s war on drugs and it completely shatters the media’s narrative. Overdose deaths are COLLAPSING nationwide and Rogan says it’s not an accident. “They’re blowing up these f*cking boats that are bringing in all the drugs!” ROGAN: “From the time Trump’s been in office, deaths by overdose have dropped off a cliff.” [Pulls up a chart] “Look at that! Look at 2024…and leading into 2025.” “These are all deaths from overdoses…I mean that’s kind of crazy.” “Look at that drop!” “Between 2023 and 2024, that’s the peak where people are dying. And then from the time Trump’s in office, it’s taking a F*CKING SHARP down turn!” “And why is that? Well, part of it is because they’re blowing up these f*cking boats that are bringing in all the drugs!”

NO WAY: Rand Paul just shattered Trump’s Venezuela narrative, live. “There’s no fentanyl being made in Venezuela. Not a little, none. These are outboard boats that would have to refuel 20 times to reach Miami… We don’t just summarily execute people.” When even Rand Paul is calling out the lie, you know the war pretext is collapsing in real time.

PCG Monitors and Challenges Chinese Coast Guard Vessels in Batanes Waters The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) has been actively monitoring three Chinese Coast Guard (CCG) vessels (3304, 3301, and 4304) in the waters off Batanes since yesterday, following their detection by Canada’s Dark Vessel Detection system. In light of their irregular movements, the PCG deployed an aircraft to conduct Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) patrols in the northern region to challenge and document the CCG vessels’ movements. The PCG Islander departed from Manila at 6:00 AM today, en route to the northernmost province of the Philippines. Upon locating the CCG-4304, the crew issued radio challenges, emphasizing that the vessel lacks legal authority to operate within the Philippines' Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ), approximately 75 nautical miles west off the coast of Sabtang, Batanes. Unfortunately, the CCG vessel did not respond. Consequently, adverse weather conditions and the distance to the other two CCG vessels (3304 and 3301) prevented the aircraft from reaching their locations. The leadership of the PCG remains resolute and is prepared to deploy additional resources should the CCG vessels continue their presence or approach closer the Batanes coastline. The PCG is committed to protecting Philippine waters and will take necessary measures against any violations of the nation's maritime jurisdiction.
