OT WE 17 SEP 25 ~ Narco terrorism

Just blow boats out of the water in the name of "Narco-terrorism"

For some odd reason (oil) the trumpet has a vendetta going on with Venezuela
using drug trafficking as an excuse. To keep us safe from scary south American
drugs. Really? All of the shit being stirred-up in the world and he has to pick on
Maduro? Maybe a bit too socialistic for the orange monster.

I mean, these are little inflatables doing coastal work. How is that effecting the big
bullies in Washington DC? That is not a threat, but an excuse to destroy another
sovereign nation. Not a good look to the ROW, especially south of the border.

Just keep it in your pants dickheads. Leave these small nations alone. The world can
be a better place without your trillion dollar military machine screwing with every
peaceable kingdom on the planet.

Anyway, it is an open thread. Upload whatever concerns you.

...we have met the terrorist and he is US.

The idea that these small boats are running drugs to the US is as farcical as our insistence Guaido was the real President.

How stupid do they think we are?

is the the Captains of the navy ships know the orders to destroy these boats are unlawful orders and they have every legal right to refuse to obey them yet they follow the orders anyway.

@QMS

droning them- we have armed Reapers in the air down there all the time, and the Air Force drone drivers have already demonstrated that they are completely comfortable with executing illegal orders. So this may not fall upon the naval commanders to be the fall guys if these actions are later found to be as illegal as they unquestionably are. There's no question that some unfortunate flag-level career military person will be designated as the one to fall on their sword to protect Management (that actually gave the orders), should that come to pass.

Not a fan.

permission to bomb foreign vessels in the
high seas (international waters) at the start?

Don't get it. Turnabout is fair play. If the rooskies were to
blow-up a fishing vessel in the Caribe just because
they can, does that make it right? Don't think so.
It would be an international faux flagrancy.
But US - business as usual. Nothing to be concerned about.

Just ain't right in the larger scheme of things IMO.

@QMS

And, having sailed those waters myself, I would be very miffed indeed if my vessel and I were to be converted into toothpicks by some enlisted member of our armed forces, just because we looked wrong, or were in the wrong place in the wrong time. That is Wrong-with-a-capital-W, indefensible, and makes me very embarrassed to be an American.

Nothing whatsoever gives us that permission. We are absolutely in the wrong here. The problem is that the Powers That Be don't see that as a problem: they believe that Might Makes Right, and gleefully commit extrajudicial killings (on the high seas and elsewhere) with alarming regularity. I absolutely feel the same way that you do about it- but there is nothing whatsoever that you and I can do about it, since both Approved Tribes think that such things are just ducky-fine. The United States of America routinely kills whomever they please, whereever they please, laws and treaties be damned; and will continue to do so until someone stops them.

And we absolutely, realistically should expect other countries to return the favor. I've been waiting for just that to begin happening, and don't think I'll be sailing those waters again any time soon. Sad, innit?

hot one. State sponsor of terrorism R us, also pirates and brigands except for the fact that these are uniformed militaries doing this shit. We also seized a fishing boat in Venezuela's economic zone and held it all day. We have no right to stop and seize any boat there or on the high seas, let alone blow them up. Not that we're alone, the Brits and French also have their own departments of terrorism, like the Frenchies who blew up the rainbow Warrior and some of their colonial special forces like they used in Algeria and Nam. We've got the CIA and our special ops guys of several flavors and the brits have MI-6 and gawd only knows what else. We do seem, for now, however, to be the most globally lawless

Mos of the drugs, and especially fentanyl coming into the country are brought in by us citizens and distributed by us citizens, but we can't admit that.

Ah well time to get back to work, I guess.

be well and have a good one

If Venezuela would just give us their oil, we would stop murdering their citizens who have done no provable wrong.
It is convenient how we make sure the boats are sunk, otherwise, we just might find that there were no drugs in them.
The UN ought to take a look at this.

Kill Maduro with some aerial bombardment. Don't know enough about VZ internally if it would work. Or more likely chaos until military takes over. Where they stand, only real experts know.

do not plan for what-ifs, and in this
case, the aftermath my be much worse
