Venezuelan Navy Attacks Cruise ship and loses

[Manonthestreet]

While the Resolute was consulting with the home office, the Venezuelan Navy vessel allegedly fired shots and then purposely collided with the Resolute's starboard side. The ramming was repeateded, the firm said, until the Venezuelan vessel encountered Resolute's hardened bulbous bow and sustained severe damage. Resolute did not suffer any harm affecting her seaworthiness, and after contacting maritime rescue authorities in Curacao, she waited on scene for one hour, her operator said. After MRCC Curacao released her from the scene, she got under way for Willemstad.

I just saw through a friend of friend's post on FB, with an actual clip of the Helicopters on the border. . . this post;

"Helicopters were filmed airdropping hundreds of US troops on the border of Colombia and Venezuela, while a Portugal flagged ship breached Venezuelan waters, refused orders to leave and then rammed into and sank a Venezuelan navy ship.
Get ready for the war."

I saw the footage of the Helicopters over the border, (I am unable to copy or transfer that video,) but. . . no one in the thread could in fact confirm the identification of which nation they came from. . .
Here are a few stills I managed to save. .

Others felt that since the operation was taking place in broad daylight, that it was in fact a distraction, and that troops would be brought in at a separate location by sub. .




Just an update.


. . I'm guessing the mission failed.

Sorry, am calling "Coprolite" on this. The Army has not used black boots in 15 years now. And that appears to be the "Army Combat Shirt", which is only worn under body armor. Which this individuals does not even seem to be wearing.

However, both the military and many police agencies in Columbia use US equipment, including uniforms. More than likely this is Columbia doing some kind of border operation. After all, they have been having problems with drugs as well as refugees from Venezuela.

This is the problem with simply accepting what somebody says without actually bothering to do any kind of research.

And the term is "Helo Dropping", or "Vertical Envelopment, not "Air Dropping". That means they were dropped by parachutes. Seems like your source is not even aware of the minimum things about the military, and is just making things up.

And yea, the Orinoco Tribune. About as accurate as Press TV. Essentially they repeat what comes from the approved news sources in Venezuela, which are all under Government control.

For people that want more Pro-Marxist Propaganda with their Pro-Marxist Propaganda. But funny, no mention of the government suggesting people eat their pets anywhere in there.

What are doing those hundreds of US troops between Colombian and Venezuelan frontiers?

Who sent them over there? Who gave the order... president Trump... the US Congress?

Those are not American troops. It is just a really horrible propaganda attempt by Venezuela.
