    The last one literally looked like someone fishing.

    Literally wasn’t even moving.

    Was the drug lord just like, “Yeah, take the boat loaded with drugs out and just drop anchor.”.

    Short range personal craft unable to carry any kind of cargo other than an ice chest with a few fish in it.

    Trump can pardon Hegseth all he wants, if the adults ever get in charge again, send his ass to the Hague.

    “The Adults” haven’t sent any past US President to pay for his crimes in history, why would they start with Trump?

    I agree, it seems a little fishy...

    Jokes aside, these killings can't be legal and someone ought to put a stop to this. For now, that's all we can really say.. "Someone ought to.." ..and then watch as no one does anything about it.

    Fentanyl doesn’t enter the US on small boats. It comes on cargo ships and crosses the border in semi trucks.

    It also doesn't come from Venezuela. Like, at all.

    I heard it was just in the boat captain’s left pocket, but the dollar value checks out. He was planning on putting it in children’s Halloween candy and distributing it for free.

    Those boats do not have the fuel capacity to make the journey from Venezuela to the US. It's roughly 700 nautical miles. This is murder.

    So they can release the footage of this strike but not the footage of the Sept 2 attacks because those strikes are top secret?

    A majority of Fentanyl coming into the U.S is done at the actual border, the thought of this being “critical” isn’t possible

    They're clearly trying to get the Venezuelan Navy to react so they can declare war to ultimately depose Maduro and capture their oil reserves. Every US president has been wanting to do this since Chavez first kicked out the American oil corps. Trump is the only one whose supporters will cheer this on.

    If these boats are filled with coke and fents, what happens to it all when the boat is struck? Does it just go into the water?

    It is overly simplistic and naive to believe that the tons of drugs consumed daily in the USA are arriving by fishing boats.

    They’re right. This will deter drug boats. It will also kill innocent civilians being trafficked in international waters.

    Why do they call people on the news "suspects" whenever there are evidence or witnesses proving their criminal activities, but here they call someone "suspects" and instantly bomb them.
