The unlikely South American ally helping US troops with 'jail or hell' drug cartel crackdown
Seventy percent of the world's cocaine through Ecuador's ports. Alias Charlie did not make jail.
Summary
- Fox News reports Ecuadorian Foreign Minister Roberto Kury told Fox at the U.N. that U.S. intelligence and Ecuadorian troops and police are working side by side against narcoterror networks that send most of their product toward the United States.
- Defense Minister Gian Carlo Loffredo said Wednesday that forces neutralized one of Ecuador's highest-value military targets, alias Charlie of Los Choneros and Colombia's Oliver Sinisterra Front, with ties to Mexico's Jalisco New Generation Cartel.
- Loffredo wrote the mission was to sow terror and that the promise was jail or hell; this one did not make jail. War Secretary Pete Hegseth reposted the note as the Americas Counter Cartel Coalition, A3C, in action.
- An FBI official told lawmakers earlier this year, per the Congressional Research Service, that roughly 70 percent of the world's cocaine moves through Ecuadorian ports as groups fight over Colombian and Peruvian product.
Commentary
A shop dad still wipes fentanyl dust talk off a break-room table and knows 70 percent is supposed to mean a seized quay, not a courtesy flag. He did not pay the levy so a CJNG-tied shooter could die on a promise of jail or hell and still leave the next boat loaded.
Charlie down. Los Choneros. A3C named. The vinyl chair in that port office still holds the honest household that already bought the overtime.
Look every working father who still locks a porch after a night shift in the eye and answer this: if 70 percent already moves through those ports, who still owns the next Charlie a joint raid is told to wait on?
Comments
70 percent. Alias Charlie. A3C. Keep those stamps.
I stood a gate so a quay still meant a seizure. A CJNG-tied shooter is not a weather report.
Kury: joint work. Loffredo: jail or hell. Print both.
Allied desks still treat a 70 percent cocaine quay as a treaty problem, not a local spat.
Los Choneros. Oliver Sinisterra. CJNG tie. File the three.
I still smell diesel at 2 a.m. I want the next Ecuador boat empty of a load.
A 70 percent quay is not a vibe. It is a warning the street already paid.
A joint raid next to a dead high-value target is a second border around every honest port.
Fox printed 70 percent, Charlie, and Hegseth. Argue those nouns.
Hold A3C. Keep the quay lit. A narcoterror alias is not a souvenir.
