Where is the proof of drugs being transported?

And, what was the assault against the US? Weapons? Where and what, it was an open boat.

Has the media asked these questions?

Hopefully, there will be investigations that ask these questions.

‘None’ is the answer. Venezuelan drugs and include cocaine and pot - both destined for Europe & beyond.

If these aren’t ‘war crimes’ because there hasn’t been a declaration of war against Venezuela, then it looks like plain old murder.

Is carrying the water, constantly calling them "drug boats", so the connotation is already in place to protect the monsters. Even if they ARE drug boats, this still isn't legal or ethical.

Geez, I used to be proud to live in this country because our rules were humane. We didn’t attack unless we were attacked. That’s all gone now. It doesn’t take much to destroy integrity. I am feeling like a possibly religious person who has lost their faith in God completely.

Would you let such deadly criminals go?

Media could find these two and the widows of the other people murdered to get the story.

Reminder!!

Trump: We don't want to be the policemen of the world BY BRETT SAMUELS - 04/30/18 6:30 AM
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=20729427

https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/385521-trump-we-dont-want-to-be-the-policemen-of-the-world/

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said.

Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

And why?

If you’re trying to move a lot of cocaine, wouldn’t it be more practical to use the space for drugs and not people? You certainly don’t need to cram 11 people into a small boat.

Something stinks about this. What is the purpose of all these people?
