My take is its just a small part of a stupid regime change operation to pressure the government into stepping down and also has to do with Margarita Island where Hezhbollah has been operating for decades with the cartels. Those on the boats are probably forced by the cartels to operate and move people and drugs, probably just fishermen without a choice.
I'm tired of decades of regime change and foreign conflicts, and I think this is another load of horse crap for oil and regime change, as they all have been.
Do we have CIA assets there? Of course.
Did we know the identity of everyone aboard those boats who was murdered? Do we know that they were radical liberal liberal radical woke woke woke woke woke narco-terrorists belch grunt snort, to directly quote Cat Eater?
Because there should be a kinda sorta high standard of proof for extrajudicial murders, don'tcha think, even if they ARE somehow "justified"? Why would you defend that shit?
Let's say that everyone blown up was indeed smuggling drugs. Let's ignore the fact that most of those fishing boats lacked the range to get even halfway to the US. Let's ask ourselves if everyone killed was indeed a hardened criminal narco-terrorist.
Or were they the owners and crews of fishing boats who were "drafted" to carry drugs and while paid, were not given a choice?
If we were so hyper-aware of their presence AND cargo, why didn't we just track and apprehend them if and when they entered US waters? You know, Coast Guard, not the Death Star Battle Group?
You're partly correct in that the Turd doesn't give two shits about drug smuggling and all this murdering is just a warmup. But the Turd doesn't want regime change. He wants to CONQUER Venezuela and steal their oil. That's grossly evil as well as batshit crazy, making it a signature Trump policy.
So you don't like regional wars? Trump's conquest of Venezuela won't be all that easy, and it will be bloody. Thousands on both sides will die because of insane Turd greed.
But don't worry! Trump promised "NO NEW WARS BELCH GRUNT SNORT!" He will, of course, say something like "We were already at war with narco-terrorists."
It's what you voted for! Rejoice!
