One,Two,Three Boats…Who Can Keep Count

***

The Mob Boss, overcome with the thrill of continuing to get away with whatever shit he throws up against the wall, decided that the bombing of a boat near Venezuela went so well the first time, that he’d do it again.  11 killed in the first strike.  3 more killed with this second strike.  Obviously, there are now no illegal drugs making their way to the States, and it’s just another win for the Agent of Chaos, even though there is no evidence that the boats were running drugs.

I don’t know about you, but I don’t need anything else other than a ‘claim’ from the Don that gives him carte blanche to do whatever in the fuck he wants to do, no matter that his actions are illegal and unconstitutional.  Screw the rules….bomb everything!

President Trump claimed without evidence that the boat was running drugs and that the strike killed three ‘terrorists’

The US military on Monday bombed a boat near Venezuela and killed three people, according to a statement released by President Trump on Truth Social.

President Trump claimed without providing evidence that the boat was carrying drugs and that the three people who were killed were “narcoterrorists.” He made similar claims about the first US military strike on a boat near Venezuela that occurred on September 2, which he said killed 11 “narcoterrorists.”

The president also posted a video that purported to show the Monday strike. It showed what appeared to be a boat that was drifting at sea, followed by an explosion.

“This morning, on my Orders, US Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump said. “The Strike occurred while these confirmed narcoterrorists from Venezuela were in International Waters transporting illegal narcotics (A DEADLY WEAPON POISONING AMERICANS!) headed to the US.”

The president also signaled that more US strikes on boats in the region were coming. “BE WARNED — IF YOU ARE TRANSPORTING DRUGS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS, WE ARE HUNTING YOU!” he wrote.

The second US bombing in the region came after the Venezuelan government said that personnel from a US warship boarded a Venezuelan tuna boat that was in Venezuelan waters. Venezuelan Foreign Minister Yván Gil said 18 armed US troops were on the vessel for 8 hours, a claim that hasn’t been confirmed by the US military.

“Those who give the order to carry out such provocations are seeking an incident that would justify a military escalation in the Caribbean,” Gil said.

While Trump and other US officials claim the military action and pressure on Venezuela’s government is about drug trafficking and a response to overdose deaths in the US, fentanyl doesn’t come from or through Venezuela, and the majority of the cocaine that is transported to the US comes through the Pacific, not the Caribbean. Gil said that the real purpose of the US operations was for the US to “persist in their failed policy” of regime change in Venezuela.

The Venezuela policy is being largely driven by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who has long pushed for regime change in Venezuela. Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Monday called out Rubio in response to the US boarding the tuna boat, calling him a “lord of death and war.”

  1. he will bomb them if they provide drugs that kill americans but rewards the pharma with unlimited get of jail free card for doing just that. pfizner, moderna, jj killed thousands of people with their drugs and they didn’t get a bomb dropped on them. hypocrites. one and all.

    the cia is the big drug runner. must be competing with them. that is the truth of it. they couldn’t care less about americans being killed. they just don’t want competition when it is done by them.
