Anyone have a pic of these "fishing boats" we are blowing up?

[struth]

I am not defending anything, I am condemning the actions of the US. Only in the mind of an American is the condemnation of one action a defense of different action.

Nobody else in the world thinks this way.

No you seem to be defending, and seem to think narcoterrorist can just run drugs all over the world and countries can't do anything about it.

and they don't have a leftist dictator that used force to assume control of their country, and is oppressing them all while working with cartels, to funnel drugs, including cartels in Columbia.

Trump is also targeting drug running boats that have left Columbia.

You really seem lost on this topic, real lost.....I don't think you intentionally mean to defend and protect these horrible terrorist, but that's how it comes across through you ignorance on the topic

I am going to be in Guyana in February, I invite you to come join me and find out what is going on by being in the region and not just by what your government tells you.

Cool....not sure your point....drugs being sold in Europe provide funding to these cartels that bring drugs to the United States, weaking their funding, is weaking them, and helping prevent drugs to the United States

Moreover, it also helps prevent drugs to Europe, saving lives there as well.

Experts have said that Dems continue to deflect and defend drug cartels because of your alliance with them

"Experts have said..."?

Seeking clarity doe not comport with your demonization. Don't be afraid of the truth.

“Fentanyl is not coming out of Venezuela. Fentanyl comes from Mexico,” said Christopher Hernandez-Roy, a senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies think tank in Washington. “What’s coming out of Venezuela is cocaine.”​

​

And most of that cocaine is no longer headed to the U.S., according to Hernandez-Roy, who co-authored a 2023 report on the subject.​

​

The cocaine market in Europe has “exploded” in recent years, he said, because it’s “more lucrative and there’s less of a chance, at least at some levels of the supply chain, of facing prison time.”​

​

A U.S. official with expertise on counternarcotics efforts offered a similar assessment, saying cocaine accounts for about 90% of the drugs coming from Venezuela and is “almost all destined for Europe.”​

Drug boats from Venezuela are mainly moving cocaine to Europe — not fentanyl to the U.S., experts say

The realities of Latin America’s drug trade challenge the administration’s stated rationale for its strikes against suspected drug smuggling boats.

There is no such thing as a nacro terrorist. It is a made up, meaningless, term the US created to justify murder.

Do you see any other country blowing up boats in the open seas?

Columbia had a Civil War and cooperative with US Government/ Military that at least was abrasive to the Drug Trade until recently , Venezuela not so much

The Democrat mantra now it that these are just poor fisherman out trying to make a living. Can anyone show us a pic of their fishing gear?


I guess the "They don't have enough gas to get to the US" argument is out the window now that JoeB131 claims we can't blow them up cuz the boats are taking drugs to Europe.

Let me help you guys out:

That country has been targeted by the the Cartel of the Sun, as a port for the European trafficking of drugs. It's not the worst, but could get that way if we aren't successful

You spend much time there or are you just talking out of your ass again.

The truth needs to be exposed.

... Trump and his Pentagon chief say U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats in waters off Latin America are saving lives by preventing narcotics from reaching America’s shores.​

​

But drug cartels operating vessels in the Caribbean, where roughly 50% of the airstrikes have taken place, are mainly moving cocaine from South America to Europe — not to the United States, according to current and former U.S. law enforcement and military officials as well as narcotics experts. And the deadliest drug of all, fentanyl, is almost exclusively smuggled over land from Mexico, the officials and experts say...​

It is interesting that you brought up the Cartel of the Suns…as it was basically created by the US to traffic cocaine into the US in a fight against the Colombian cartels.

The US has a long history of doing such things. The US is not the white knight you make it out to be.

No, why would I spend time there?

hahah no, the CIA didn't create it.

THe CIA was working with Venezuluan nationa guard generals, who were part of the anti-drug national command, but were in fact members of the cartel, and corrupt.

 

[Norm Paperman]

It is currently the fastest growing economy in the world. A great opportunity for investment if you have a high threshold for risk.

Plus we have not been there yet so going new places is something we love to do.

 

[schmidlap]

So you are saying Trump is saving the world.

Cool.

If you believe that the disinformation the Trump regime is spouting is actually in the interest of "saving the world," why must the American taxpayer foot the bill while being kept in the dark regarding what they are being forced to pay for?

Pete Hegseth and Marco Rubio wrecked Trump’s biggest boat strike claim​

The U.S. military has conducted at least 25 strikes on boats in the Caribbean and eastern Pacific on the basis that the small watercraft were trying to smuggle drugs into the United States. But as it turns out, even top Trump officials don’t think that’s true.​

As of late 2025, India is widely recognized as the world's fastest-growing major economy, with projections for 2025 and 2026 around 6.5%

The story of its creation is told differently in the region.

Just cut the crap, they're not fishing boats and anyone with a lick of sense knows better
