Putin says thank you for removing that ship from his war.
Venezuela oil boutta get some freedom
What the hell can aircraft carrier do against cartels? It's like sending an aircraft carrier to go destroy an ant mound. Another distraction by Trump.
Of course you know the lead in clickbait doesn’t appear anywhere in the actual footage that is cgi ai bfi generated.
Truth is what you see of course
Cue the Jaws theme song.
Can some american citizen confirm to me his understanding towards this movilization to Venezuelan coasts ? just wanna read their real opinion please. I am a Venezuelan citizen btw.
You people live in a world of comfortable lies. You believe order is the natural state of things. You believe your safety is an accident. It is not. It is a choice we make every day. That carrier is one of the reasons you can sit safely in your homes and whisper your treasonous little theories, type them up in the comments, anonymously.
Some call it provocation. I call it duty. Some call it a pretext for theft. I call it the burden of command. The U.S. will ensure the sea lanes are open, that the poison doesn't reach our streets, that the monsters in the dark stay in the dark.
The pederast files must be pretty ugly if the demented orange is willing to murder thousands
Why wasn't this done back in the day when it was war on drugs?Why did we attack americans in american houses or american woods?Growing weed or something?Why the f*** didn't we just bomb?These countries f**** decades, and decades ago it would have been a hell of a lot easier to wipe them completely to f*** out back then
What a large rich target . This is the largest big BS! as the CIA are the largest drug dealers in the world just pick up a phone . bombing fishermen is not a show of strength.
Yeah, just normal things needed to fight guys in boats smuggling drugs.
Sick
Cuba really??
KaBoooom! Suck it Libtards
If you want to end cartels, you investigate the banks that transfer moneys, end the coruption,the rest will fall
when did abc take trumps side? aree the editors going to jail for war crimes with trump? what about the boogie cartels in Montana, Texas, Arizona? whats the point going all the way to the Caribbean when theirs child lovers in dc?
The last time somebody piled up personnel and equipment near somebody else’s border. Russia was lying about invading Ukraine. Is this orange bastards secret military operation?
Dumb fake news😂😂
Venezuela is a huge strategic liability to the US, it makes sense that the US want's to control this region, lot's of competing influence for a stake in America's strategic shipping routs around the gulf underbelly. beginning of a larger operation to finally and truly control the whole Caribbean, otherwise we're asking for another cuban missile crisis or anti-ship missile threats along our strategic arteries.
More distractions.
Why ask an army Colonel about naval operations?
🇺🇸 = 76 Drug dealers killed 🇻🇪 = 500,000+ Innocent civilians poisoned … WE GOTTA CATCH UP BOYS! 💪 👊
Don't underestimate the cartels they have bought a lot,! Of American politicians and are being supported by the CCP. God bless our armed forces.
Bush 2.0 here we go…
It is so unfortunate that USA threatened countries in South America by force. Submit to USA or you will face civil war or invasion . How many wars can USA involved directly or indirectly before she faces destruction. It is inevitable and you will never win by spreading yourself so thin.
DEMONIC SPIRIT OF EVIL
TRUMPFUKSKIDS 🇺🇲

Oil thieves
Whoever directed this did ol boy wrong that cut was late.
who tf is he looking at, both cameras?
Focus on the UK Starmer.The non Prime minister.
The "US" demands.😅
Just a tad excessive
He is crazy, you cant just bomb boats and ships with out knowing who is in it , why is the world not calling Trump out for this , it is inhumane, with no terrorism attack from the other side he is allowed to blow up ships ,but when india act on terrorism, the whole world jump to stop india it .
Where is UN for inhumane attacks on humanity, they kill presidents of other countries for it , now where they are,
The U.S. has 11 operational aircraft carriers, all nuclear-powered. Each one is a world war. This number is a legally mandated minimum required to support global operations, allowing roughly one-third of the fleet to be deployed, one-third to be preparing for deployment, and one-third to be undergoing maintenance. That's why they say we can fight 4 at a time. That still leaves us 2/3s as backup.
Earth is owned by the USA. Everyone else is just renting space.
what a bunch of idiots these two are omg
US have murdered 76 people defenseless in Small Boat in the Caribbean seas. It is pure war crimes. These aircraft carrier are sitting duck, ask the Yemen Houthis, missiles attack on US aircraft until US lost fighter jets falls into the seas, Than ask for ceasefire. How shameful.
President Maduro recently show Huawei latest phone presented as gift by President Xi.
What it means by this, is that President Maduro tells US, President Trumpet 🎺🎺🎺 and its war hawks, we are using China Beidou Navigation system. We are using China Military Beidou Navigation system 😅😂, it can track every US aircraft carrier and navy ships. It can even track F-35 jet fighter plane. All these are easy target
😂🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯😅
This Forum is so depressing, with so many retarded comments all together in one place at the same time
Drug runners make excellent fish food
This is total BS propaganda to make people think that there is a threat in the Caribbean from the drug cartels but what Trump is really trying to do is to invoke a conflict of emergency to deflect from his ongoing corrupt criminal activity, abuse of office and fraud. So far he has used the US Navy to blow up several so called drug smuggling boats and killed dozens of people, but yet he has not produced a single piece of evidence to support his lying claims of drug smuggling!😎
Colonel Seth Krummrich is as fraudulent as Pete Hegseth and just as incompitent when it come to being a leader of a very large group of people in a front line combative mission!😎
Why are they still sailing boats 🛥️ do they not know now that they getting blown up
It's the Monroe Doctrine it has to be reinstated
