---

thanks! So we are blowing up boats with weed? Weed comes from Mexico and domestic US

---

You wanted to know if drugs were on board. Your question is now answered.

---

Pot? We are doing this to stop pot???

---

Yes, but not for the reasons you presume.

It is not economical to transport a bulky bales of pot in specialized speedboats over a 3000mi route that runs past places that also grow pot to smuggle into a place that also grows pot. but that is not terribly a terribly material consideration. We are blowing up Venezuelan drug smuggling logistics in order to destabilize Venezuelan drug cartels who are part of the ruling Venezuelan political regime. You destabilize the cartels, you also destabilize the ruling political coalition. Final destination of the drugs really doesn't matter. Every shipment destroyed starves drug cartels of cash.

---

Incorrect. It is nothing but a ruse. Lizard King want the Petro via regime change. Good thing fat ass didn't start a war. So, does that mean we can subtract one start of a new war for the 377 wars fat boy has settled.

---

You have a fairly serious reading comprehension problem. I have stated many times, including in the post you replied to that the goal was to "destabilize the ruling political coaltion" in Venezuela. That is exactly what we should be doing. Trump is going about it brilliantly...denying Venezuela the defense of us committing an unprovoked act of war against them.

---

So it is not about Fentanyl? It is not about Cartels?
LOL what a pitiful false dilemma.

So, Trump is overthrowing a Nation and Nation-building. This is similar to Iraq. Wait, that is bad. Nation building is what Haley and Bush do, not Trump. Trump is a closet Neo-Con!!!! RINO!
It will not be similar to Iraq until we invade. (Which we have every right to do).

---

Your thinking here is a complete mess, because all you're doing it cobbling together meaningless critiques of Orange Man Bad.

Trump Derangement Syndrome is a helluva drug...a helluva drug!

---

No, I am taking things you said about others when they did similar acts. This is not TDS, this is your Trump Worship Syndrome. He can't do anything wrong, even when he does what you condemned others for doing or changes the reasons.

This whole Venezuela action was sold under drug enforcement, the taking away Cartel revenue, and now you are selling it under destabilizing a government. It does not matter, whatever Trump wants to do. You will cheerlead and rubberstamp. Remarkable. Trump is just as much of a neo-con as Halley or Bush ever were.

---

Yeah, classic TDS.

So you wouldn't smoke cartel boats full of drugs in international waters for drug enforcement purposes alone? I would. A super-majority agrees with me (and disagrees with you). That's not "Trump Worship Syndrome." It's good politics. And its good politics on a very important issue.

If you can take an action strongly supported by the American people and punish a regime that has been sanctioned by international courts for billions of dollars over expropriation OF AMERICAN COMPANIES....that is good policy. If you can do that and cause the collapse of said regime and installation of the gal who just won the Nobel Peace Prize for opposing the regime.....you can be quite sure you are the quintessential good guy doing a good thing. Even if you are not successful in replacing the regime but only trim its sails back to where is is no longer threatening to invade neighbors, it's a good thing, right? Stability in the Americas does matter, does it not?

Geezus you have gone absolutely nutso. Poster boy for what TDS does to the mind.

---

You've finally done it. Every last known piece of covert-slash-intelligence war propaganda bull**** succinctly summarized in one solitary post, and you didn't even run over 500 words.

Kudos to you, sir.

The kudos are due to the Trump foreign policy team. They've got Venezuela AND Iran on the verge of collapse at the same time, which of course saps attention and resources from their sponsors - Russia and China.

Basically kidnapped another country's leader. I won't shed tears for this one, but this action is inappropriate for any President to carry out unilaterally. Congress should have weighed in. They do need to restrict Trump's power. Do their job.

If this action were constitutionally sound, the Attorney General wouldn’t be tweeting that they’ve arrested the President of a sovereign country and his wife for possessing guns in violation of a 1934 U.S. firearm law.
