US military strikes vessel carrying drugs from Venezuela

Geez guys.

Some logical thoughts:

Fishing boats:
No fishing rods, bait or nets.
Top-tier, high-speed speedboats that cost a packet. Nobody fishes in them.

Unlawful killing:
Not if they're part of a designated terror organisation.

Not enough fuel:
Jerry Cans of fuel can be clearly-seen on the vessels.

Not disclosing intelligence details to the public:
Doing so would allow the terrorists to reverse-engineer the data and arrive at the methods, thereby rendering the current M.O. obsolete.
 
Carrier strike groups are expensive to buy and to operate. Factoring in the total life-cycle costs of an associated carrier air wing, five surface com- batants and one fast-attack submarine, plus the nearly 6,700 men and women to crew them, it costs about $6.5 million per day to operate each strike group.

A "DINGY" IN THE CARRIBEAN W/ A FEW "KILOS" IS THE JOB OF THE US COAST GUARD NOT A CARRIER BATTLE GROUP. COSTING 6.5 MILLION A DAY AND UN-NESSESCARY STRESS ON 6700+ MEN & WOMEN IN UNIFORM.
WHO'S MINDING THE STORE & KEEPING WATCH WHERE USS FORD WAS YANKED FROM ?
NOT PROPORTIONAL TO THE THREAT. SOUNDS LIKE THE "DINGY" IS IN THE WHITE HOUSE.
WE HAVE LIKELY ALREADY SPENT THE ENTIRE DRUMP4 YEAR PENTAGON BUDGET IN LESS THAN ONE.
GOOD THING UNCLE DON-HO IS A FISCALLY CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN
CARRY-ON

Yeah, Sharvell Dan did 4 years in the navy in the 80s and now he can’t remember if he was in the navy or the marine corps. He knows better than the pentagon and all of Trump’s military advisors. 🙄

Shut the fuck up Dan.
Plot twist, he was in the merchant marines.
Here he is providing some crew entertainment

Obviously what we were previously doing wasn't working very well.
Edit-
If anyone is serious about stopping crime, changing the tactics is key.
Humans always seem to figure out how to push and get around existing rules/laws.
Once the criminals figure that out, they know what they can get away with and what they can't.
Changing tactics keeps criminals on their toes, since they don't know what to expect.

I love reading his idiocy, make me feel smarter with every post. But some advice: if you can't grasp the big picture, try to avoid talking about it....but it's good humor.
 
They don't make cocaine or heroin in Mexico either, but that is how it makes its way into our country.
How do drugs get to new zealand? Or canada?
They're called smuggling routes.

You really are dumb. Venezuela is not a smuggling route for fentanyl, period.
 
Drug traffickers in South America do not produce or traffic fentanyl.

The State Department’s March 2025 International Narcotics Control Strategy Report stated: “The Department of State, in consultation with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and other relevant agencies, has identified Mexico”—especially its northwest, 3,000 miles from Venezuela—“as the only significant source of illicit fentanyl and fentanyl analogues significantly affecting the United States during the preceding calendar year.”

Analysis concluded on September 3, 2025, “There is no proof that it [fentanyl] is manufactured or trafficked from Venezuela or anywhere else in South America.”
In Colombia, Infobae reported in December 2023, “so far the National Police has not detected any fentanyl production laboratory in Colombia.” A senior police official told WOLA that year that the country’s few detections of fentanyl had been stolen from hospitals or pharmacies.

Most cocaine does not transit the Caribbean; the Pacific route is far more common.

Venezuela is plagued by criminal activities, and there is evidence of deep links between government officials and illicit economies, including drug trafficking, fuel trafficking, illegal mining, and money laundering. The dismantling of democratic institutions under an authoritarian government allows officials and other actors to act with impunity. However, claims of this country being a source of fentanyl or the main transit country of U.S.-bound cocaine are not supported by evidence.

In its 2020 report with data from 2019, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) found that about 8 percent of U.S.-bound cocaine departed through a “Caribbean corridor,” primarily from Venezuela. Another 16 percent departed Colombia (and perhaps some part of western Venezuela) via a “Western Caribbean Vector.” A much larger share — 74 percent — flowed through the Pacific Ocean via an “Eastern Pacific Vector.” Additionally, according to the DEA, “small amounts of cocaine are moved overland from Colombia to Panama.”
 
Admiral Alvin Holsey resigned after refusing orders to authorize strikes on Venezuelan boats, citing his oath to protect innocent lives.

Good. He should be stripped of his retirement benefits and given a dishonorable discharge.
