It's important to note that NBC is peddling the regime's lies in it's headlines.
There's been absolutely no evidence presented that the boat we attacked was associated with drugs, they've just completely invented a new cartel.
The routes that drugs take into the US and the leaders of groups responsible are all very well known and well studied. Something like 5% of coke comes in from Venezuela - they're just not a major player at all.
FYI, it's already more than just one boat.
Does someone have some good links for this?
Not doubting just too lazy to look it up.
