I am curious of how true this is.

I can no longer tell what is real and what is Matrix fake.

"The strike on the boat comes as the administration has bolstered its maritime force in the Caribbean to mitigate the threats from Latin American drug cartels. The U.S. deployed at least seven ships, a nuclear-powered submarine and more than 4,500 Marines near Venezuela in recent days."

U.S. Amphibious Landing Exercise Underway In Puerto Rico As Tensions With Venezuela Mount

The amphibious training in Puerto Rico comes as the U.S. has at least eight warships in the Caribbean and just struck a Venezuelan drug boat.

"the U.S. Navy and Marines are conducting an amphibious landing training exercise in southern Puerto Rico. While the U.S. Marine Corps does not make any mention of Maduro or Venezuela in its media release about the exercise, the move comes as tensions are mounting between Washington and Caracas over the flow of illegal narcotics."

In before Democrats claim it was a boatload of children and families "just looking for a better life".

I guess this puts teeth into the "War on Drugs" campaign of the 80's, but I have to ask...will it be expanded to other South American drug smuggling countries' cartels or is it just being contained to the one country that holds the world's largest oil reserves?

Looks like a whole lot of trafficking in the Pacific as well, but I haven't yet heard of Ops in that region.

I've seen lots of chatter about pieces in play, like something is on the horizon...could this be one of them? just askin'

Gonzales v. Raich (2005): This ruling confirmed that the federal government can criminalize the cultivation and possession of marijuana for medical purposes under the Commerce Clause, even in states where it's legal. The Court determined that even local marijuana use could affect the illegal interstate market.

The coming end of the drug cartels is on the horizon.

Hochuls Corp's, criminal run pot stores, will likely be hit/closed soon enough.

I'm sure they were looking for a better life.

Selling a few hundred million dollars in drugs would bring most people a better life.

This might be straying off topic, but I'm noticing a pattern. So I'll leave just leave this here.

Feds intercept 1,300 barrels of meth precursor chemicals shipped from China to Mexico

Federal officials seized 697,000 pounds of methamphetamine precursor chemicals from China bound for Mexico's Sinaloa Cartel in the largest bust of its kind.

www.foxnews.com

Federal officials made a high-seas interception of hundreds of thousands of pounds of two different precursor chemicals that are used to make methamphetamine, a shipment they say came from China and was destined for the Sinaloa Cartel in Mexico.

Jeanine Pirro, United States Attorney for the District of Columbia, announced what officials called the largest ever bust of precursor chemicals being shipped to a foreign terrorist organization during a news conference in Pasadena, Texas, on Wednesday.

Intercepting a shipment of chemicals from one country to another doesn't really sound like any of the US's business, to be honest.

Imagine if Mexico decided to intercept a shipment of gun parts from Austria to the US because some of the guns would end up illegally in Mexico...

Of course it is legal. Letters of Marquis etc etc.

"...moved to a secure storage facility..." begs the question of what will we do with it and how?
71,500 Gallons is larger than two of the Biggest Rail Tank Cars can hold.
