US Military Strikes Caribbean’s Floating Drug Store After Venezuela Visit

In a move that sounds like the opening scene of a pirate comedy, President Trump announced the US military targeted a Caribbean vessel laden with drugs, fresh off a cargo run from Venezuela. This strike follows hot on the heels of Washington deploying warships to the region just one week earlier, because obviously sending ships is the international version of saying 'Stay out of the kiddie pool!' Meanwhile, the southern Caribbean probably didn’t wake up expecting a pop-up DEA special, but here we are. So, let me get this straight: weeks of naval build-up take down one drug-packed boat – sounds like a blockbuster sequel called 'Fast & Unfurious: Drug Boat Drift' with zero CGI.
