Friends,
On Monday night, the U.S. military attacked three more boats alleged to have been smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, killing eight people and bringing the total of known killings to 95.
Why? “We have thousands of troops and our largest aircraft carrier in the Caribbean — but zero, zero explanation for what Trump is trying to accomplish,” Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer said yesterday.
Trump threatens land strikes will soon follow the boat attacks. “By land is a lot easier, and that’s going to start happening,” he told reporters Friday in the Oval Office.
This would represent a major escalation of Trump’s trumped-up war. He’s not ruling out attacks on Latin American countries beyond Venezuela. “It doesn’t necessarily have to be in Venezuela,” Trump added.
