When was war declared against Venezuela?

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

What weaponry and/or armor did those poor bastards on those speed boats have? Who were they attacking and intentionally trying to kill? Smuggling contraband is not a capital crime. It is not a declaration of war on America.

They probably didn't have any fentanyl and probably weren't heading for the USA.

Keep talking as if anything that comes out of your mouth is going to change anything that President Trump and his administration will do.

When one tries to attack the USS Ford then you would have an argument.

Those people have the terrorist designation put on them.

Due process goes out the window.

What weaponry and/or armor did those poor bastards on those speed boats have?

Those 'poor bastards' probably were ordrred to halt and refused and most likely fired on whoever was giving the orders.

Keeping it real....

The Gerald R. Ford strike group and its associated air wing are being sent to “dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations and counter narco-terrorism,” Pentagon Press Secretary Sean Parnell said in a statement posted on X.

Rock and roll time.

Pentagon sends largest aircraft carrier to Caribbean amid boat strikes​

by Filip Timotija - 10/24/25 1:17 PM ET
The Pentagon is sending the world’s largest aircraft carrier, USS Gerald R. Ford, and its carrier air wing to the Caribbean as the Trump administration conducts strikes against boats it says are smuggling illegal drugs in the region.

Chief Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said Friday that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has ordered the Navy’s most advanced aircraft carrier, which was deployed in the Mediterranean, to the U.S. Southern Command area of responsibility to help “dismantle Transnational Criminal Organizations (TCOs) and counter narco-terrorism in defense of the Homeland.”

Parnell wrote in a statement that the presence of the USS Gerald R. Ford in the region will “bolster U.S. capacity to detect, monitor, and disrupt illicit actors and activities that compromise the safety and prosperity of the United States homeland and our security in the Western Hemisphere.”

“These forces will enhance and augment existing capabilities to disrupt narcotics trafficking and degrade and dismantle TCOs,” he added.

Hegseth’s order comes as the Trump administration has been striking alleged drug-smuggling boats in the Caribbean Sea, off the coast of Venezuela and in the Eastern Pacific, killing at least 43 people, which officials have said are “narco-terrorists.”

They have to be a threat. They aren't a threat to US military vehicles.

To US military vehicles several hundred miles away? No. none whatsoever. Your question beggars belief.

I hope you don't think a dope boat's going to get that close to a warship.

You know they're using aerial patrols and real time satellite imaging don't you?

Joint Interagency Task Force South (JIATF-S) is who coordinates interdiction efforts with military and Coast Guard.

This op USCG is lead backed by USN.

Everybody is trying to make this into some bizarre fantasy where Trump's sitting in the Oval posting on Truth Social and the Red Phone rings and Trump nods his head like Judge Roy Bean.... SMFH.

There's YT videos of actual interdictions with Venezuelan warships both at sea and aerial and in every one they take extreme efforts documenting all their actions identifying themselves, giving warnings etc. to prove they were operating legally if they have to take defensive action and following Rules Of Engagement. There's no way they're indiscriminately taking out those ships...no way. Those ships drew fire by their actions.

"Well, I don’t think we’re going to necessarily ask for a declaration of war [in Venezuela]. I think we’re just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We’re going to kill them. They’re going to be, like, dead.” - Donald Trump

If you support this, you're not a Christian, you're not a conservative, you're not a constitutionalist. You're just an evil, bootlicking piece of shit acting as a cheerleader for a narcissistic psychopath and war criminal. - Larken Rose

When the history of this period is written it will be said of congressional Repubs that they disgraced themselves and the institution by abdicating their role as a check against trump usurping congressional authority in this and other areas.

Killing nacroterrorist trying to smuggle drugs into our country is evil?

Personally I think nacroterrorist and their friends are evil.

And yes we aren’t at war with Venezuela, aren’t going to be, in fact one of its most famous citizens who just got a Nobel peace prize dedicated the award to our president…massive honor. Frankly, if you don’t suooort her, you don’t support peace, and are evil

Agreed. The Ds are no different however. Yet another issue both crime families agree on.

Dumb. Do you always believe liars or just Trump? No proof offered, yet you believe.

If you can’t see this scam, you’re a fool.

You’d think after W lying us into war, you’d learn. You never do.
