WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump said on Monday that the U.S. military carried out a strike on a Venezuelan drug cartel vessel that had been on its way to the United States.
He said three men were killed in the strike, adding that it occurred in international waters.
"This morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a SECOND Kinetic Strike against positively identified, extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
"These extremely violent drug trafficking cartels POSE A THREAT to U.S. National Security, Foreign Policy, and vital U.S. Interests," Trump said.

(38,718 posts)Trump: "We're seeing that there are no ships in the ocean anymore ... no there are no boats. I wonder why? Meaning, no drugs are coming across. Probably stopping some fishermen too. To be honest, if I were a fisherman, I wouldn't want to go fishing either. 'Maybe they think I have drugs downstairs'"

Wait, so don't go fishing or the US Navy will murder you?

(6,184 posts)"See, these guys used a boat! That proves those others that also used boats were drug runners."
If IT was president during WW2, he'd order the Navy to sink all lifeboats as "they must be enemy troops because our loser sailors would have gone down with the ship after being torpedoed".

Most recently in the matter of Greenland, the Dutch govt has sternly called US ambassadors on the carpet or something. So that has to fade.
The, when it's convenient, the Greenland issue will come back, probably with carefully edited footage of the hateful saint Charlie "Stone all the Gays" Kirk in Greenland.

(8,099 posts)the Roberts Court if murdering people in international waters is covered by his immunity.
He thinks it's FUNNY to murder people who are in international waters without due process. What was it about those planes that took off with unprocessed prisoners, something about them being in international air space...
"I think the fishing business has probably been hurt." He knows he's threatening and probably blowing up fishing boats. He knows. He's simply enjoying using his power to murder people.
He's now a serial killer. A serial rapist, a serial killer...He's working up his nerve to publicly murder US citizens on our own soil. He's trying to catch up to his admired dictatorial buddies. "See, I can do it, too." He's proud of it. There is no material worth in this.
Please make this bastard go away. Arrest him and deport him.
