Maybe they’re worried that the US ship is smuggling drugs.

Don’t think the U.S. consider F-16’s as a threat to their navy. brave of the pilots though.

They only blow up unarmed boats with civilians that *might* have drugs so those fighters are probably safe.

The second time was last night it seems. Trump gave permission today to shoot them down. 10 F35’s were scrambled to join the ships also so we should see some fireworks if Maduro is stupid enough to test it

Maduro is truly a dumb ass, trying to provoke the other man baby who has a much bigger stick. Still, I’d be so great if somehow he did bait Trump.
A few missiles here and there and the the cancer of Chavismo falls apart after 26 years and then the 8 million Venezuelans refugees burdening other countries in Latin America can start returning to their homeland.

It’s no longer the Pentagon. Trump renamed it to the Five Pointy Building

Yeah, burn up those airframe hours so you have to dig into your dwindling supply of F-16 parts. That’ll show the US.

They knew they were ok when they were still flying when they could see the ship

Dont touch the boats.

Dumb to put the ships there, but even dumber to fuck with them. You touch a ship, you’re not going to have a good time.

Venezuala was not on the top of my list for going to war with…

If we get involved in a war with Venezuela right now oil prices will surge thereby saving the Russian economy, and making us less prepared to confront China in 2027.
Trump didn’t have this idea before he met with Putin.
