US Military use a Hellfire missile costing 150k USD to obliterate an 'alleged' drug smuggling boat and kill all on board while destroying the evidence.

British Royal Marine fires one .50 calibre sniper round costing 5-10 USD accurately into the engine of an alleged smuggling boat forcing it to stop and all persons on board were arrested with the evidence.

 

Not enough theater for Donald he has to keep that meat coming for his hyenas….oops I meant insurrectionists …..oops his supporters you know the folks trying to kill our democracy (that’s the cognizant ones) the others are just to heavily influenced by the constant lies.sad

I see the truth hurt and you have no intelligent rebuttal. Here is the inconvenient truth that Trump is not working for you but for himself, family and cronies. US is a crony capitalism like Argentina. 

So more unsupported lies, nice!

How do you explain Clinton being worth 200 million and Obama being worth 100?

 

Why do you hate the rich?

They would have to believe that: A, they would get the money, and B, they would get a chance to spend it.

I know how Trump plays the killing game. Like a psychopath. He gets a kick out of ordering killings.

 

When US intel monitored terror targets in Pakistan and Afghanistan, President Obama wanted to see the intel before authorizing a strike. Also, Obama refused authorization when the likelihood of innocents getting killed was high.

 

Trump authorizes just about anything, and couldn't care less about civilian casualties.

 

(A woman in S&T at the agency developed the weapon often called The Flying Ginsu. It was used to get Ayman al Zawahiri in Kabul under Biden. It can target an individual in a car, and mince only that one individual, leaving the other car occupants messy but uninjured.) Trump prefers missiles, because they make a bigger boom.

 

Finally, under Trump 2.0, lots of solid ops officers and members of the agency's Special Activity Center have retired or resigned. Lots of mediocrity remains. The intel on targets is often not good to begin with; it's likely worse now. I would not be the least bit surprised if some of the boats attacked off Venezuela were simply pleasure craft, uninvolved in anything nefarious.

I am curious.  What is your past experience with collection of intelligence in operations such as this.  

 

Or in any other operations that involved collection of intelligence data against an enemy target?

I guess Admiral Alvin Holsey a honoured long serving veteran, as head of the South American & Caribbean fleet knows many things about collection of intelligence data. He has retired early because he refuses to be implicated in this murderous campaign. Shame on you who support this administrations illegal actions.

So the “Peace President “ has acknowledged CIA operations in Venezuela, US committing extra judicial murders and hinted at military strikes upon this sovereign state.

Hey Diaper Donny! The President of Albania sends his thanks for you brokering peace in a conflict that Albania was unaware it was involved in.

Donald Trump is unwell but his sycophantic lackeys are frightened to tell him.

Does anyone not think there has been CIA operations in Venezuela?

Not usual for a US President to admit what is normally a highly sensitive and tightly guarded state secret. You think he is losing control of his cognitive function? I think he is

Oh yes, absolutely. He can barely string two sentences together. 

 

Biden on the other hand, still sharp as a tack. Had only he stayed in the race, we would not be in the mess. 

 

You know it could be that Trump just wanted them, and the press, and the public to know.

 

I assume we have CIA operations in every country, don't you?

Don’t know about CIA operations as these are classified.  Cognitive impaired Trump doesn’t really understand protocol. As the saying goes “ loose lips sink ship”.

Which does not change the fact that they would have to believe that: A, they would get the money, and B, they would get a chance to spend it.

I did not ask what you knew, I asked you what you assumed. 

 

You are happy to pretend your "know" that Trump is "cognitive impaired", you are happy to state that as fact, but you are unable to render an opinion on whether or not the CIA operates all over the world, because that's "classified" don't 'cha know.  Weak

 

And again, it could be that Trump just wanted them, and the press, and the public to know.

That does not answer the question put to wingate of, what experience wingate has with intell collections.  

 

I also know some things about collection of drug running intel, having participated in it when I was working for one government agency and supporting another government agency.  That was some years ago, but I suspect that the basics are the same, while the electronics aspect of it has been drastically improved and upgraded. 

 

As for Holsey, perhaps he is really leaving the service because of this.

You consider this a reliable source? Blowing small boats out of the water is typical Trump/Hesketh showboating. Meanwhile the real traffickers continue to use  shipping containers & planes.
