Every number above is derived from the strike reports listed below — multiplied by the 25,000-lives-per-boat figure claimed by Kingpin Trump. We do not endorse that figure; fact-checkers have debunked it. Doing the literal math is the point.
Current U.S. military and government describe Operation Southern Spear as a campaign aimed at disrupting narcotics trafficking by designated terrorist and transnational criminal organizations in the Western Hemisphere. Public updates tied to the operation describe maritime interdiction and strike activity in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific.

"Frequently Asked Questions"
Are kinetic strikes on drug boats legal?
Using kinetic strikes against drug boats is highly controversial and widely considered illegal under international law. It is a direct violation of the sixth commandment under biblical law.
Is the claim that "25,000 people are saved with each strike" a true statement?
Fact-checkers and drug policy experts have debunked this claim as mathematically implausible and without evidence. The live calculator at the top of this page takes the claim literally — multiplying the real, individually-cited count of boats destroyed by the claimed 25,000 lives each — precisely to show how quickly that math turns absurd. That's the whole purpose of this page: to bust the myth by doing its own arithmetic.
