Head of US Command Overseeing ‘Drug Strike’ Strikes by Addressing Concerns About Attacks: Report
Admiral Alvin Holsey, the head of the US Commadio in charge of strikes against what the Trump administration says are Venezuelan drug boats, has dropped after expressing concern about the attack, according to a new report.
In the past few weeks, special forces have been established to operate on five boats off the coast of Venezuela in the Caribbean Sea where the White House claims are transporting drugs. 27 people were killed in the strikes.
Just this week, Trump announced a submarine strike that killed six suspected drug dealers.
“This strike was conducted in international waters, and a male Narcoterrorist was killed in the strike. No US forces were injured. Thank you for your attention to this matter!!!!!!!” Trump tweeted about public truth on Tuesday.
Two days later, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Holsey’s initial retirement from the Navy. Holsey assumed the role of Commander this November after serving as Deputy Commander.

“On behalf of the Department of War, we are very grateful to Admiral Alvin Holsey for his more than 37 years of outstanding service to our nation as he plans to retire at the end of the year,” Hegsseth said on Thursday.
The timing of Holsey’s retirement is odd, given that it has been less than a year since Holsey assumed his current position.
This page New York Times It was reported, the unnamed official said, that Holsey had expressed concern about the suspected drug boat attack and the Southern Command’s Command’s Command’s Accerlug. Two.
Holsey said in a statement provided Independent In the southern command, “working as the commander and your deputy for the past 34 months has been a great honor.
The Southcom team has made lasting contributions to our nation’s defense and will continue to do so. I am confident that you will be coming forward, focused on your agreement that strengthens our nation and ensures its long term as a champion of freedom around the world. “

Holsey said he will retire on December 12.
When Trump announced the first submarine strike on September 2, which he said killed 11 people, he warned, “Please let this serve as a warning to anyone even thinking about drugs in the United States of America.”
The President has been fighting to continue drug addiction in the country as it is an overdose death. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says synthetic opioids including Fentanyl are driving this overdose death problem. But Fentanyl is trafficked into the US mainly from Mexico, not Venezuela.
The Trump administration has “determined that the United States is engaged in a non-nuclear conflict with these designated terrorist organizations,” according to a memo to Congress obtained by Independent. Because of this, the Pentagon was ordered to ‘conduct operations to have them comply with the law of armed conflict.’

Some have raised concerns about the unity of the strikes since the White House has not provided evidence that the targeted boats were carrying drugs.
Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino insisted that the US Government knows that the boats are not used to smuggle drugs.
The Senate even tried to pass a War Power Resolution last week that would have prevented the Trump administration from conducting strikes unless the instigator authorized them. It failed 51-48, with two GOP lawmakers voting with almost all Democrats in favor.
