Trump regime is lying about the drug boat killings.

Personally my favorite bit was on Wednesday when the Administration announced they were working on the legal justification for the attack. Still nothing on what legal authority they used. Then of course they screamed Provocation when two Venezuelan planes flew by an American Ship like the Americans had not just blown up a Venezuelan boat.

I would think that the commander of the Navy vessel that took out the boat would have requested the order to be written out for him.


“If you’re on a boat full of cocaine or fentanyl or whatever headed to the United States, you’re an immediate threat to the United States.” -Marco Rubio from the OP link


Rubio doesn’t even know what the cargo was.

It's unlikely they were heading to the U.S. which would be close to 1,729 nautical miles. Trinidad or Tobago would be close enough to ride on the back of a swimming mule to reach, approx 7 to 12 miles.
 
The boat was in the Caribbean in international waters, logically not heading to the US, which makes the action taken by the U.S., an act of war. I want to know on what legal authority the US relied upon to justify it? Has that been released publicly? No, it hasn't. The US is not a signatory to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and I really don't understand why we are not a signatory to this law? Under that convention, countries agree not to interfere with vessels operating in international waters. The DOD is now threatening to carry out more military attacks in Latin America under the pretense of the "war on drugs".

No. They are seeing America run by a crazy man. And because of that they are buying less US Bonds, pulling their money out of US stocks, avoiding tourism to the US, and avoiding US brands in their stores.
 
They lie about everything and tons of Christians cheer.

Trump saw Clear and Present Danger and thought it was a good idea.

Um, no.

They are seeing:

1. America now turning it's back on Taiwan to concentrate our forces to be used against our own cities,

2. Trump licking Russia & China's arses, and

3. Randomly blowing up boats.
