"“For cooperative governments, there’s no need because those governments are going to help us,” the top U.S. diplomat said during a visit to Ecuador’s capital. “They’re going to help us find these people and blow them up, if that’s what it takes.”
Rubio’s remarks appeared to draw a line between countries that work with the U.S. to carry out the Trump administration’s nascent counternarcotics strategy and those that don’t, such as Venezuela, which saw
U.S. forces blow up a small boat near its territorial waters on Tuesday.
Leftist governments in the region have condemned the attack, which the U.S. says killed 11 “narco-terrorists” transporting drugs that could end up in the country. The Trump administration has refused to outline basic details about the operation, including which part of the U.S. military conducted the assassination."
U.S. won’t kill drug smugglers if their countries cooperate, Rubio says
Again, no transparency from Trump and his admin. Why are the pics of that tiny blown up boat blurred so much so as we can't make out what was in it?
So Trump and his admin. don't answer to all the American people?
So if India and China, which export the most drug ingredients, don't cooperate with the U.S., will you guys be blowing up boats around their countries too, and leaving no trace evidence?
"India has emerged as a growing player in the illicit fentanyl trade, a new US intelligence report says, a designation likely to raise alarm in New Delhi as President Donald Trump wields tariffs on countries he accuses of not doing enough to stop the deadly drug from flowing into the United States."

The rumour is that if it was a illegal drug boat, that they were transporting cocaine (for the elitist to use - who could they be?), but we'll never know the truth.

What with Maduro's/Venezuela's cozying up to China, is it any wonder Trump is getting worried.
I don't think for a moment Trump gives a rat's ass about the ordinary people in America.

Is this about oil and gas...again?

"The United States has had a complex relationship with Venezuela, a country of roughly 30 million people, shaped by disputes over oil, politics and security concerns."
