WASHINGTON, Sept 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. military killed 11 people on Tuesday in a strike on a vessel from Venezuela allegedly carrying illegal narcotics, President Donald Trump said, in the first known operation since his administration’s recent deployment of warships to the southern Caribbean.

Trump told reporters at the White House: “We just, over the last few minutes, literally shot out a boat, a drug-carrying boat, a lot of drugs in that boat.”

    Ah I see the “Hamas under hospital” kind of logic is going to be applied to these type of attacks.

    Next will be: “Oh we bombed a port because it is used by drug traffickers”

      You just know 100% that Trump believes the TV propaganda 100%. We already know he doesn’t listen to his intelligence briefings, that’s been reported numerous times going all the way back to his first day in office. So the AIPAC propaganda they’re spreading in the media is what he actually believes in the truth. And if that’s the case, then he can just do the same thing clearly.
