This should end the thread:

*********

AP: In dozens of interviews in villages on Venezuela’s breathtaking northeastern coast, from which some of the boats departed, residents and relatives told Garcia Cano the dead men had indeed been running drugs but were not narco-terrorists, as alleged by the Trump administration, or leaders of a cartel or gang.

***********

They were running drugs. 

**********

AP: Most of the nine men were crewing such craft for the first or second time, making at least $500 per trip, residents and relatives said. They were laborers, a fisherman, a motorcycle taxi driver. Two were low-level career criminals. One was a well-known local crime boss who contracted out his smuggling services to traffickers.

************

Notice how they all were paid by the cartel, several were criminals and one was in charge was known to do it for multiple cartels. 

 

AND NO ONE DENIES THEY WERE RUNNING DRUGS TO AMERICA. NOT ONE.

Trump has campaigned and spoken repeatedly on the abundance of US oil and ramping up domestic oil drilling, destroying drug running boats is not proof Trump wants to go to war to seize another country's oil.

You don't use a "go fast" speed boat to travel 1000 miles with a load of drugs. Everyone else knows they were going to local islands like Trinidad.

They go to all kinds of islands. They go to Puerto Rico and other places to drop them off, to be shipped from there to the mainland. 

Did you think that there was just one spot in Venezuela where they sent boats from, and they all used the same shipping lane, and sent them to the exact same port?

Right now Trump is targeting the types of boats where the drugs are visible from the sky, so that people can see the evidence as it goes from room temperature to hellfire in 1/100th of a second. 

Drugs get shipped in planes, speedboats, sailboats, and by every other method imaginable. You can't come up with an idea for shipping Fentanyl and other narcotics from Bolivia, Columbia, Mexico, Venezuela, etc that hasn't already been used.

They smuggle it in spare tires, they even smuggle it in their stomachs and buttholes ffs, knowing that if anything goes wrong there's a 100% chance that they will OD and die.

You'd have to be stupid to believe that drug dealers wouldn't buy cool boats to speed around in with drugs.

They buy FAST boats, but I guess going fast makes the wind "cool." LMAO

Meanwhile you've completely IGNORED the EVIDENCE of Trump SAYING he WANTS TO TAKE VENUZUELAN OIL.

And you've ignored that fast means they have a chance at outrunning the coast guard. You've ignored that water offers the fewest opportunities to have product seized. You've ignored that the AP interviewed the families to find out they all knew their loved ones were running drugs. 

But those things are counter to your fantasy that Trump is stealing oil and therefore you ignore them.

Strawman and ad hominem statements are fallacious outright and lose credibility on their own lack of merit.

YOUR FAILURE to examine the POSTED EVIDENCE DESTROYS your credibility.

Agenda driven Youtube videos are not your best source.

Maybe you should check out the POSTED YOUTUBE of Trump admitting he wants to TAKE Venezuelan oil.
