"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."
