- Trump shares video showing speedboat exploding
- US officials say boat was carrying illegal narcotics
- Strike comes amid increased deployment of warships to Caribbean
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.”
How do they know there were drugs on the boat, if they didn’t board it first? It would be a lot more believable, if they had captured the boat instead of blowing it up. Then there would be evidence to confirm their claims. The fact that they didn’t do that, just makes all this sound like bullshit.
Most likely they needed to pump up the numbers or Trump needed more media distractions, so they picked a boat at random and blew it up, we will never know the truth, but at least US military had some fun blowing shit up, so everyone is happy…except the people on the boat 🙄
