I wonder what stopped the navy from just blowing up the tuna boat?

Coming soon to mainland America, well it's already here to a lesser extent.

Sooner or later, they will return the favor. They will detain a ship from the US. That will give the orange gibbon what he wants to start a full on global conflict. Knowing those insane leaders out there, this will force a nuclear exchange that will make life on this planet impossible.

Or, he will cave in two weeks after all the bloated boasting and dick waving. Either way, it is a stupid thing to be doing and his attempts at looking like a 'strong man' are going to backfire.

My concern is just how bad the 'backfiring' will be.

If I were the other country I'd be madder than hell

WRT Friday's search, there were no casualties. It was eventually released under escort by the Venezuelan Navy.

"Foreign Minister Yván Gil told journalists the tuna boat was “illegally and hostilely boarded by a United States Navy destroyer” and 18 armed American personnel who remained on the vessel for eight hours, preventing communication and the fishermen’s normal activities. The fishermen were then released under escort by the Venezuelan navy."

This was in Venezuelan waters. They found no drugs. But then, they blow up another ship and 11 people for no good reason.

trump is definitely trying to start a war with a vulnerable country to bolster his ego, and nothing more. He wants to call himself a, "war-time president," play with his toy soldiers, and have a parade.

And why Venezuela? There's plenty of countries exporting drugs. I'm reminded of, "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man."

the boat that the Navy attacked and slaughtered its occupants had not been boarded as they merely relied on "intelligence" to justify their action. Considering the type of boat and the number of people on it, "drug smuggling" was probably not on their menu. Of course, now we'll never know for certain.

... bilge.

describe this administration. It is all about brute force, intimidation, and fear both domestic and abroad.

…another country illegally and violently boarding American ships. We’ve come full circle…

Las Vegas would probably give million to one odds that they are LYING again!!
