WASHINGTON, Sept 5 (Reuters) - The [United States] has ordered the deployment of 10 F-35 fighter jets to a Puerto Rico airfield to conduct operations against drug cartels, sources say, adding more firepower to intensifying U.S. military operations in the Caribbean that are stoking tension with Venezuela.
The new deployment comes on top of an already bristling U.S. military presence in the southern Caribbean as President [Donald Trump] carries out a campaign pledge to crack down on groups he blames for funneling drugs into the United States.
U.S. officials have not clearly explained what legal justification was used for Tuesday’s air strike on the boat or what drugs were on board.
Trump said on Tuesday, without providing evidence, that the U.S. military had identified the crew of the vessel as members of Venezuelan gang Tren de Aragua.
So now he’s going to use stealth fighters to blow up innocent people in international waters. I say innocent because we are supposed to believe in the principle of innocent until proven guilty in this nation.
Hey now, those people are narcoterrorists. See the word terrorist in there? That means it’s ok to bomb them /s
Can they deploy 10 F-35s to my house and wipe me out instead?
They say they can
It might just be hitting the house with the jet itself (after the pilot spends an hour with IT troubleshooting) though.
Is BRRRRRRRRRRT still an option?
How do you rate on the Peter Griffin in a Fez test?
Using a sledge hammer to crack a nut. Except the nut isn’t where they think it is.
Using a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but they don’t have evidence it’s a nut and they will continue hammering anything that they deem “nut like” and you can’t ask what makes something a nut.
It’s brown, so it must be a nut.
Seems extreme to get a nut.
I hope they sell them for scrap to help the local economy and infrastructure, they really need it.
Is there an article instead of just a picture?Really? I added a link, at least I tried to. Thanks for the heads up.
I see it. There is a small link under the picture that reads just Reuters.com. That does link to the article. If I just missed it, my apologies. If you fixed it, thanks.
