U.S. hits another ‘drug boat’ as Caribbean Admiral abruptly resigns

The United States has reportedly carried out another strike on an alleged drug-smuggling vessel in the Caribbean, marking the sixth such attack since early September, amid growing international condemnation over their legality.

A US official confirmed the strike, which for the first time left survivors, but offered few details. The operations, authorised by President Donald Trump as part of a “war on narco-terrorists” linked to Venezuela, have killed at least 27 people and drawn sharp criticism from rights groups and the Venezuelan government.

Caracas has labelled the strikes “extrajudicial assassinations,” with its UN ambassador calling for a Security Council probe after two Trinidadian fishermen were reportedly killed in one of the attacks.

The strikes come as the US escalates its military presence in the Caribbean, deploying destroyers, fighter jets, and 6,500 troops, while Trump has also authorised CIA operations in Venezuela and floated possible ground assaults.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro has accused Washington of attempting to overthrow his government, warning against a “CIA-orchestrated coup.”

In a further twist, Admiral Alvin Holsey, head of US Southern Command overseeing the Caribbean campaign, unexpectedly announced his retirement effective December 2025, two years ahead of schedule, citing no reason for his departure.

  1. Admiral Holsey knows that this is an illegal ops, and that the U.S. will lose World War Three.
    He’s bowing-out from Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth’s bullshit ops, which are essentially Crimes Against Humanity and violations of International Law.
    Attacking the boats without any conclusive proof that there are drugs on board destined for the U.S. is an International Crime, BUT-
    Enforcing International Admiralty Law on the High Seas is moot; as per the Gaza Flotillas being seized illegally in International Waters, the USS Liberty attacked by Israel in International Waters, etc.
    Maduro offered the U.S. lucrative open contracts for oil, gas, rare earth mining, but the Global Zionist want it all!
    Even Tony Hilder warned that ‘They want it all!” back in 1993…

  2. The late great Jordon Maxwell new it all. President Trump the President of the Corporation of America since 1868 under the 14th Amendment. Gives a whole new meaning to the term Birth Certificate. Yes, aren’t we all betrayed since WW1, born into indebted slavery. Usury, by the small hat, Ba,al Hats and their Shebbaz Goy Merc’s who make our enslavement possible. The Inversion of my inversion is my friend.

  3. No different than another drug dealer named Queen Victoria who got busy introducing drugs and drug-addictions into China as an adjunct to colonisation.

    Imperialism sucks but remains well and truly alive today.

    • It’s about sending a message.

      Maybe don’t sail your unlicensed speedboats through international waters along known narco-trafficking routes, ignoring all warnings and refusing to hail over the VHF radio, and expect nothing bad will happen to you.

      The drug traffickers aren’t American citizens, why should they be allowed to drop off their poison and then demand months of due process and a roof over their heads at US taxpayer expense while some liberal judge does everything they can to hamstring the administration out of prosecuting them?

      What do you think happened to cocky Goths who rolled up to the gates of Rome to taunt the archers? 😆

      It’s a simple concept. Keep out!
