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.

Donald is going to have us at war with half the globe here pretty soon. I didn't think it could get any worse than when Obama was bombing seven countries at once (that we know of), but here we are. Yikes.

Didn't Nostradamus say something about an antichrist leading us to war we will not win.... I'm not saying I buy it but all the terrible things that he predicted have come to pass with this orange idiot in charge
