When was war declared against Venezuela?

[Delldude]

Dumb. Try to keep up.

Bobby Seals. Your Mike Wallace CIA mention. CIA was moving toot out of SA.
Your evil link to the CIA in Venezuela ala Blumenthal isn't about what you think. Friends of Bill Clinton were drug smugglers..... Bobby Seals got popped and Bill pardoned him.
CIA been playing games for decades in SA.

Movie 'American Made' is all about it.

CIA and covert action is rather comedic.

If Trump mentioned CIA ops publicly, they been active for months.

Research what you link.

Why is the French Navy making record seizures in the East Caribbean and Atlantic?

You have all the answers.....

You mean instead of summarily executing everyone on the vessels?

Smuggling Venezuelan cocaine is not a capital crime either.

What happened during these interdiction's that would cause an armed response?

Drug Boats: Where Questions of Lethality and Legality Meet

For decades, the United States has relied on the Coast Guard’s legal authorities, backed by Navy support, to interdict drug shipments. The 2 September strike is a departure from that process.

Hang on.

So Obama set the precedent.

The closest precedent for this strike lies in the Obama administration’s targeted drone strikes against al Qaeda and Islamic State operatives. Those strikes were always preceded by Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) reviews that required clear identification of the target, an assessment of imminent threat, and explicit analysis of the United States’ obligations under international law. The strikes were controversial, especially when U.S. citizens were killed without trial, but there was at least a formal attempt to anchor lethal action within the law of armed conflict and the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force.

 

[Delldude]

In short: the U.S. military executed the strike, and responsibility runs up the military chain of command and to the civilian officials who authorized it; legal accountability would depend on investigations and any findings of unlawful conduct.

They traced the call.

Boat Suspected of Smuggling Drugs Is Said to Have Turned Before U.S. Attacked It​

The Trump administration has argued that the summary killing of 11 people it accused of running drugs was legal under the laws of war.

A Venezuelan boat that the U.S. military destroyed in the Caribbean last week had altered its course and appeared to have turned around before the attack started because the people onboard had apparently spotted a military aircraft stalking it, according to American officials familiar with the matter.

The military repeatedly hit the vessel before it sank, the officials added, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter. The administration has claimed the boat was carrying drugs.

The disclosures provide new details about an operation that was a startling departure from traditional drug interdiction efforts, escalating President Trump’s use of the military for matters typically handled by law enforcement. Legal specialists have disputed that it was lawful for the military, on President Trump’s orders, to target and kill drug smuggling suspects as if they were combatants in a war.

https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/10/us/trump-drug-boat-venezuela-strike.html?campaign_id=190&emc=edit_ufn_20250910&instance_id=162263&nl=from-the-times&regi_id=65145149&segment_id=205638&user_id=fecdfdffdaaa11107b72f0f4f6e429cc

Does declaring war against drug smugglers mean we can bomb people in Mexico? Importantly, where is the hard evidence the trump government made about the boat and the people in it?

Vitally, have the Repub's in Congress scheduled hearings on the matter of the government's claimed justification? If not why not?

when they began shipping poison to our cities and killing our kids.

Just because the reporting does not fit the narrative you believe in doesn't mean it isn't accurate.

Funny how the article tries to side with scum drug cartel members.

Of course the run when we show up. Perhaps they should have chosen a different profession.

U.S. Navy. What is your Profession?

You can be excused for your ignorance that there is a legal way to handle accused (without evidence) drug smugglers and an illegal one. The regime has chosen the latter.

The U.S. escalates its pressure campaign on Venezuela.
The Trump administration intensified its pressure campaign against Venezuela on Sunday by placing an aircraft carrier in the Caribbean, announcing that it would designate a Venezuelan group as a foreign terrorist organization and saying that it had struck another boat that it said was trafficking drugs.

But President Trump also left open the possibility of negotiations, telling reporters that the United States “may be having some discussions” with President Nicolás Maduro of Venezuela.

https://www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11/17/us/trump-news#trump-venezuela-maduro-military

You see what's happening, right? The regime wants to give legal cover (it hasn't) to what it's doing so it unilaterally assigns the title "foreign terrorist group" to anyone it wants to kill.

.

And we agree with the "regime" and you want to coddle the criminals and your entire purpose in life is to convince yourself that it makes you look intelligent if you can find many different ways to try to say this.

Got it.

AI Overview

The U.S. intelligence committees, specifically the Democratic members, have raised significant concerns regarding the Trump administration's military strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats, citing a lack of transparency, questionable legal justification, and exclusion from briefings.
