This should be a way bigger story than it is.

If you are at all familiar with the area and fishing it is pretty obvious these were fishing boats. Go fast drug boats are 1-2 man craft with the front enclosed. This is where the cargo is held. You need the weight to keep the front end on the water. They have a range of 90-180 miles. These boats pick up cargo from commercial fishing boats or small cargo ships that are close to coast(like south Florida) and take the drugs to shore.

Venezuela 2,300 miles away from the US. If Venezuela’s government is involved or looks the other way why do you need speed boats with limited range and cargo capacity? Makes no sense,

It is an illegal use of force.

Trump: "We don't have any boats on the water. There are no boats. There are no fishing boats. There are no anything. So we hit a number of boats, and since we did that we have absolutely no drugs coming into our country via water."

Sounds like senators from both parties have done questions about the legality of these extra-judicial attacks.


♦️WSJ EXCLUSIVE
Senators from both parties pressed the Pentagon to provide a better legal explanation for striking alleged drug boats in the Caribbean. The Pentagon general counsel deferred to Trump’s designation of the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations for the authority to use military force, but refused to supply a written justification, which experts say is necessary for transparency and accountability

Way to create a threat that didn't exist before, Trump.

You know that’s the intent, right?

Selling drugs is profitable,right? Funny how the priority is to blow up potential mules but don’t touch the mansions of the billionaires that run the operations.

So we will be in a war? To distract from Epstein? To distract from the Quantico fiasco?

There has been no concrete evidence produced by the Trump administration proving these were "narcoterrorists."

There has been no independent corroboration that they were "narcoterrorists."

Virtually nobody who has actually studied or investigated narcoterrorism believes the boats were narcoterrorists.

And the fact that their general counsel is unwilling to put a statement in writing is damning.

These attacks are putting American personnel in harm’s way. When you blow up foreign nationals minding their own business, you are begging for retaliation. Justice isn’t going to come in the form of an apology or a payment, it’s going to come in the form of vengeance.

I was starting to lose track of how many of these boats have been hit by the US so I asked AI for a summary:

*Sept 2, 2025: Vessel off Venezuela, 11 killed.
*Sept 15, 2025: Caribbean, 3 killed.
*Sept 19, 2025: Caribbean, 3 killed.
*Oct 3, 2025: Off Venezuela, 4 killed.

That sounds like a pattern to me. Expect more of these.

I'm pretty sure that's the goal. They want to provoke a reaction to create a justification for war with Venezuela.

Houthis randomly attack US and western ships all the time and the left doesn't care. We blow up a couple drug boats and it's a crisis. Okay.

Agreed. From what I’ve read, Marco Rubio is one of the loudest proponents of regime change in Venezuela, and apparently has a history of advocating for that.

*He has consistently labeled the Maduro government illegitimate and has advocated for its removal.
*As Secretary of State, Rubio has promoted a modern version of the Monroe Doctrine, asserting U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere.
*Rubio has repeatedly cited a 2020 U.S. indictment of Maduro on drug trafficking charges to justify actions against his government.

All the drugs that washed up on the Dominican shore tells a different story
