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 18 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.”
This whole boat bombing is nothing is short of mass murder. Using a bazooka to kill an ant hill. Who the hell died and made Trump Hitler or give him the authority to kill without impunity? He’s using Israelis military playbook to target and slaughter anyone they feel is against him with military force under the guise of terrorism. What’s next? Venezuelan genocide?
Hey Trump, we have laws in this country and people who arrest and punish these people if found guilty. They’re called ICE, DEA and the Coast Guard.
Despite what your narcissistic ego thinks, no one gave you the right or authority to execute someone without proof of guilt in the court of law. You can’t just make up the excuse that if we catch and send them back that they will just do it again, so we need to bomb them. That’s dictator talk and goes against every Humanitarian law!
How come no one is calling for this treasonous bastard to be impeached?
Now that he has the full support of Bennie and the Zionists, he’s gonna find a way to extend his term in office for another year or two through an executive order and you can be sure our Zionist bowing Congress will let him get away with it without question.
Just watch. You’ll see. I guarantee it.
We have become so occupied that we are the United States of Israel all but in name.
Nice war crime streak he’s got going on , eh?
