Donald Trump’s administration has struck another alleged drug-carrying vessel, killing two people on board, in what appears to be the first attack in the Pacific Ocean.
Tuesday’s operation announced by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth brings the death toll from the administration’s campaign to more than 30, as the administration declares itself at war with drug cartels in an expanding military campaign across South America.
The vessel “was known by our intelligence to be involved in illicit narcotics smuggling, was transiting along a known narco-trafficking transit route, and carrying narcotics,” according to Hegseth.
This is just a naval blockade disguised as an illegal drugs operation against another nation. The goal here is just to deny Venezuela the use of waters for trade and travel. US has long wanted to push the current regime out and install one that is friendly to US and allowing them to exploit and sell the oil.
It is frankly insane. And on top of that, there is a report that black ops forces are on the soil of Venezuela.
I doubt that is for drugs too.
If the headline read (and it has before) China doing this in the South China Sea, everyone would be up in arms about then terrorizing the region. Welp, thats what the US is doing now.
Most overdose deaths in the US are caused by fentanyl and other drugs, none of which come from South America. So I’m not sure what the intent of this policy is.
Its a free for all. Just plain murder.
