I spent years in Venezuela with the CIA watching narco power consume a country from the inside — generals on cartel payrolls, cocaine moving through state infrastructure, an entire nation hollowed out by traffickers. It was dangerous. But it was over there.
Last night, it came here.
We've watched this escalation coming. Ukraine proved that cheap, off-the-shelf drones could change a battlefield. The cartels took notes. In 2025, CJNG and Sinaloa turned drones on each other — recon, fentanyl drops, and explosives. Thousands of flights along our border. It was only a matter of time before one crossed the line.
If you think President Trump and War Secretary Hegseth are going to let narco-terrorists fly military-grade drones into American airspace unchecked you don't know this administration.
There will be consequences.
