The U.S. military has killed at least 21 people in recent strikes on small boats off the coast of Venezuela — attacks President Donald Trump says are part of an “armed conflict” with drug cartels. But according to data and experts cited by The New York Times, the operation is unlikely to significantly disrupt the flow of cocaine or fentanyl into the United States, since Venezuela plays only a marginal role in the global drug trade.
Not to mention that it is about 2000 miles by sea from Venezuela to the US and there is no fucking way a speed boat has large enough fuel tanks for that. It’s a blatant lie that these boats are headed for US ports.
