Yall are so late breaking every story, that i think it is an actual new story. Yall suck
Hahaha😂😂😂 oh nooo not cbs news……not the fake media aagain😂😂😂 whats next, cnn????😂😂😂😂
Trump is desperately trying to find a small weak country to start a war with. At on time he considered Greenland but the Denmark and the EU scared him off. With a war Trump could "legitimately" claim war time powers like suspension of habeas corpus, arrest subversives such as Rosie O'Donnell and make grandiose claims of how he rebuilt the military to win wars. Meanwhile Russia, China and North Korea ar laughing themselves silly.
Needed to be done ✔️years ago 😪 🙏 😔 😕 😌 😅😅😅😅😅
Can’t wait for Trump to leave office so we can erase is name from history 😂😂😂 act like he never existed
Hown This cannot be legal breaking to drog soo USA.
Drugs are killing more ppl than terrorists did

China and Russia plus IRAN will make use Venezuela. If American didn't act now, it will surely end up under China control.
Whoops, HE did it again
looks like puerto ricos gonna end up being the first to go should full blown war goes out, citizens should migrate to the mainland US asap
This was not some fisherman’s boat, it was bad guys, no local fishermen can afford 4 big motors on a boat. Looks like a pirate boat or something that is up to no good. Our intelligence is top notch and wont just bomb at random.
Venezuela will be a meat grinder… just like the Vietnam War… jungle warfare wasn't USA's. friend
Um, why was Hegseth reading a poem?
He snapped 😂😂😂 not politically correct.
Ye good to see the military in action
Stop lying. No civilians were killed.
Treat war as a game.
Trump 💪🇺🇸
