Has anyone asked the regime how these supposed drug smugglers are reaching the US when Venezuela is over 2500 miles from Texas? I admit I dont know the fuel economy of 1 of these boats but I would imagine that youd have to be carrying hundreds of gallons of extra fuel on board to be able to reach the US. Nothing in any of the videos shows an inferno that suggests they are carrying that amount of fuel on board.

Ramping up to bombing and or invading Venezuela has nothing to do with drug traffic.

(17,137 posts)Every time the Coast Guard, Navy or some other governmental agency stops, searches and seizes a vessel carrying drugs off the U.S. coast, they hold a very public televised press conference on the dock to display the contraband. They don't blow up drug boats and destroy the evidence, and they sure don't kill survivors clinging to floating wreckage.
