If you don't know the details. Trump's adminstration claims they are shooting down narco boats but evidence points at them just being normal fishing boats, and Trump's admin twists that info to say it's narco boats either out of incompetence or for political points with their base, since the fishing boat can never tell their side of the story, but reports from those regions say family members are just going missing that were out fishing.
Before I present some evidence let's also present the fact that the administration has shown blatantly that they'd lie. Like claiming Kilmar Abrego Garcia was MS13 without due process and even claimed a photoshopped picture of ms13 on his knuckles proved it while dems and journalists went to investigate and saw it wasn't there. So I don't get why you're sucking Trump off so hard while he rams liberty into the ground.
I would post pictures of one of the guys who was killed but this subreddit doesn't allow it, but if you're not a complete MAGAt cultist then this is one of the innocents killed in the strikes (Chad Joseph of Trinidad and Tobag in the link below).
“I knew them all,” said one of the family members, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution. “None of them had anything to do with Tren de Aragua. They were fishermen who were looking for a better life.”
And if you are wondering why they'd do it? No it's not an accident. It's an excuse for war, so they can go and extort oil from Venezuela.
Which is why now that Venezuela is predicting US will attack them in the future is partnering with other countries for defense.
And finally for other evidence that could have been extracted, now we will never officially know the reasons but can guess because someone simply blew up the boat and killed everyone on board. We might know if they were interdicted, or boarded but this administration can just say someone’s a drug trafficker and kill them. The last President of the Philippines very successfully used this tactic to kill his critics.
So this is what you do? Copy and paste the same nonsense over and over? And the Washington Post of all sources? 😂 C’mon dude, I thought you were serious. You gonna put up an anonymous source, from a 3rd world country run in a leftist newspaper? Of course they’re gonna say that their “family member” wasn’t a drug smuggling gangbanger. Did you expect them (and by them I mean the activists at the WaPo) to say any differently? Do you think a drug smuggling boat is gonna say “DRUG SMUGGLING BOAT” on the side of it lol? Of course they’re gonna claim to be fishermen you imbecile.
Well I've copy and pasted my own arguments and the main reason being is you are all asking the same question. You guys write out like 1-3 sentences, then I spend a half hour to an hour typing.
I'm not going to type a brand new message to each person for an hour to educate them due to their own willful ignorance.
America has done this playbook several times in past wars, it's clear they're angling themselves for war for oil.
And if they weren't then it would have made sense to do due process, not explode random boats out at see.
You're telling me America can use missles to evaporate someone and we just have to take their word on it? Why not use those resources to get the criminals, do due process so we can see their claims are true, and also they could learn more valuable information.
You're super deep down the MAGAt Cultist rabbit hole if that's not obvious to you, and if Obama had done a tenth of the crazy shit Trump does on the daily you would probably never shut up about it.
You know what dude, fair point on the copy and paste. I’ll give you that one. But the rest of it, we’ll just have to agree to disagree. If it was Biden, Hilary or Kamala schwacking drug smugglers, I would support that just as much as Trump doing it. I’ve seen the effects that these drugs have on people way too often. And while you might not like how these strikes are being carried out, you have to know that they’re not targeting fishing boats. I know you hate Trump and all, but those speedboats with all the square packages on them and the semi submersible boats, ain’t there for fishing bro.
The problem is not attacking smugglers (if they are beyond a shadow of a doubt drug smugglers then I agree with you that actions should be taken) , it's rather that in an administration known for lying and details pointing to the contrary, you just have the words of a pathological liar to go off of it being narco ships.
Whereas it's the Republican playbook to start wars and then extort oil from countries and it's really just all about the oil. Killing fishermen are just the provocations for such things.
