USA just sunk a drug boat from Venezuela

[Sky727]

US forces are ramping up pressure on Venezuela in what increasingly looks like a modern naval blockade. Sanctioned oil tankers are being seized, drug trafficking vessels are being destroyed at sea, and Washington is turning economic sanctions into physical enforcement. This video breaks down why the US is targeting Venezuela’s oil lifeline, how shadow fleet tankers evade sanctions, and what a two-layer blockade really looks like in 2025. We analyze naval interdictions, cartel routes, escalation risks, and why this campaign matters far beyond Venezuela

Venezuelan crude accounts for 2-3% of US crude imports.
Your numbers are a bit misleading.

Do you have a link to back that up?

Not douibting your figures or judgement as I'm ignorant on the topic. It makes far more sense fpr the figuresa in the Sky vidseo to be wrong than Sky delivering quality investigative journalism.

It doesn't sound like Trump is still running Venezuela, if he ever was.

Maybe Delcy Rodríguez is not the right puppet for the job. She may need to go.

According to the video, they took out 2 narcoterrorist boats this week alone. Has getting rid of Maduro had any affect on the tda terrorists?

Oh she can say whatever she wants, and in fact should, in order to reduce possible conflagrations of violence from resistive elements still remaining in Venezuela. The reformation will move at its own pace, regardless. It's only sensible to calm and protect the people in the meantime.

Note she isn't attempting to cancel international cooperation regarding resource management and economic revitalization. That says more than anything her teleprompter tells her to squawk.

I'm just saying this looks bad for Trump.

According to him he is running Venezuela, Delcy is under his control, and the narco terrorists are controlled be the Venezuela government.

If these narco terrorists are shipping drugs to America, to kill Americans, that means nothing has changed. 

After blockading the country with an armada, arresting the president, and taking control of the government. Venezuelan narco terrorists are still attacking America with there shipments of drugs.

It just looks like a big waste of money, with few results.

Estimates range from $9 million - $30 million per day with no end in site. Not much of a bargain considering they online sank 2 boats last week.

Its like the Trump admin is misleading the public, while in reality he is diverting funds from captured oil shipments.
