Trump's Second Term

Probably not a narco boat. The cartels would not waste resources deploying 11 people on one narco shipment. One or two maybe, but not 11.

More likely it was a fishing boat doing a bit of people smuggling, if it was doing anything illegal at all.

By the way, attacking and sinking an unarmed ship in open waters has a definition: piracy. The Trump administration has the US navy doing piracy. Awesome. I bet the Navy command are fine with that too.

trump is really getting crazy, dangerously so. Just today, he had US military target a boat, killing everyone on it, and revealed troops are preparing to deploy to the streets of Chicago. Again, as a lifelong citizen of the United States, all I can say is-

H-E-L-P!!! P-L-E-A-S-E!!!!

He was democratically elected. The only democracy willing to force a regime change in such circumstances is, ironically, the US.

Vance has only ever had one principle, eyeliner. Everything else is him parrotting what's coming through the earpiece.

Unfortunately the definition of piracy by the U.N., 1958 Geneva Convention on the High Seas, is confined to personal acts for personal gain, so probably can’t be applied to a State (country), e.g.,

Article101

Definition of piracy​

Piracy consists of any of the following acts:

(a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or any act of depredation, committed for private ends by the crew or the passengers of a private ship or a private aircraft, and directed:​

Additionally, the USA probably hasn’t signed onto the agreement and certainly isn’t signed to the U.N. Convention of the Law of the Sea. Even if they were, they’d merely thumb their nose at any international court’s decision. As they’ve done in the past.

This is much more a political attack aimed at the Venezuelan government, than protection against drug lords.
Trump maintains that Venezuela’s president Maduro is the head of a drug cartel, or at least directs the head, and is pushing for his overthrow. And that’s not eccentric for political reasons, it for oil.

It would seem that rumours of Trump's death were premature and it doesn't seem like he's any less (or more) lucid than he has been throughout his entire term.

As usual , the media completely fails to call him on his utter craziness, trillions in investment, summary execution of drug runners in international waters, deploying troops on the streets of US cities, but there's nothing new in that.

The interesting thing is that (according to the commentator I saw) the bullet proof windows are sealed shut so the only way it could be open is if the entire window was removed from the frame and contractors aren't allowed in the residence if the the POTUS is there. I'm not sure if that's correct but I'm sure someone here knows.

Watch the Australian show about their border force to see how it should be done.

Border Security was a long-running propaganda piece for a conservative government who wanted to gain public sympathy over a draconian and inhumane policy regarding asylum seekers. It continued under a Labor government that maintained that same policy.
