The Western Hemisphere's Pirate Patrol

I didn't know we had any. Most of ours are government drug-runners anyway.

Can the globalist agenda be more obvious?


"Nations join United States in naval drills that include training against piracy" by Associated Press | April 21, 2009

MAYPORT NAVAL STATION, Fla. - Navies from the United States and 11 other countries yesterday launched two weeks of war exercises off Florida's Atlantic coast that will include training in combating piracy and drug smuggling.

Several Latin American countries, Canada, and Germany are taking part in UNITAS Gold, which is now in its 50th year and is the Navy's longest-running yearly exercise. Hundreds of white-uniformed officers held an opening ceremony before embarking on ships, submarines, and aircraft to begin training meant to foster naval cooperation throughout the Americas.

Yeah, you see, it is OKAY for the U.S. to THROW AROUND ITS MILITARY MUSCLE under the pretense of peace but God help anyone else on the planet who even intends to protect their own sovereignty.

Sailors, Marines, and other military forces will participate in live-fire exercises, undersea warfare, and helicopter and amphibious operations, among other training. More than 25 ships, four submarines, 6,500 sailors, and 50 aircraft are taking part in the $7 million exercise hosted by the US Navy's Fourth Fleet, based at Mayport Naval Station near Jacksonville.

More taxpayer dough wasted for what?

Rear Admiral Joseph Kernan, commander of US Naval Forces Southern Command and of the Fourth Fleet, noted that multinational forces are combating piracy off Somalia and said exercises such as UNITAS will help nations coordinate efforts to oppose that scourge. "If piracy proliferates into the region, my belief is that exercises of this nature will allow us to address it effectively," he said.

Then I expect you will blow them right out the water because this is horse s***, folks!!!

Other countries involved in the exercises are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Peru, and Uruguay....
