What're We Fightin' For? Don't Ask Me, I Don't Give a Damn Next Stop is Venezuela!

I think so. A 65 foot sport fisher (like in your article) is something like this:


Do you think it will hit 120 miles per hour?

Yep. Good job on your google search.

That’s what they generally look like. Looks pretty sleek to me not at all ‘very slow’

Now what you seem to miss is the SPORT part of a sport fisherman. These aren’t trawlers going out for weeks at a time to get you your filet o’fish.

These are tournament boats. I don’t how y’all do it in California but on the Gulf Coast that means you have 48 hours to get out, fish and get back and weigh in.

So the boats are actually pretty fast. Because for bill fish (Marlins, Sailfish and Swordfish) which are the most prized you have to get off the continental shelf to find them.

We are lucky in that we have The Nipple only a couple hundred miles off. It’s a big indentation of deep water off our coast.





But yeah, again I don’t how many fishing tournaments you’ve been in in California but here getting out to blue water and maximizing your fishing time and getting back on time is a big deal in sport fishing so the boats are actually pretty fast.

Ahem.

It's obvious that one motivation for these cowardly murders is to provoke a response, which will immediately be seized upon as OMG THE INFAMY, VENEZUELA ATTACKED US!!!111

only for people like you

the boat pictured is a Viking it has a top speed of 51mph which on the water is fast not even taking into acctount that it is a 65 ft boat. if you want justice you disable the boat and arrest the 'criminals' if you want jollies and to distract from some 'other' things you blow them up.

Who's trying to land on a speedboat?

The point is that if "interdicting drugs" is the goal of Piss-drunk Pete's operation, it can be done without necessarily killing the people onboard or blowing up the vessels (which conveniently destroys the "evidence").

I said what I said.

I just want to say that that is a hell of a shot.

I’m guessing a Coast Guard Cutter is a relatively stable firing platform but it is still moving and pitching a bit and the speed boat is moving and bouncing up and down.

It’s almost like the Coast Guard are specifically tasked with these kinds of operations, have done them for a quarter millennium and are actually really good at their jobs.

The United States are condemning China for using water cannons against Filipino fishing boats.

Might have to change the thread title again.

We are now hitting boats in the Pacific.

The... South Pacific?!

There is nothing like war craaammmmmeeee

Trump is really doing everything he can to win that Nobel Peace prize, isn't he? Bombing Iran, renaming the Department of Defense to the Department of War, and taking the side of the agressor both in Ukraine and Gaza, isn't enough. Need a few more missiles, here...

"How many people do I have to kill before they give me my peace prize?"

Venezuela is stealing our oil.

Good god, he's so fucking stupid and out of it. Send grandpa to the home where they can take care of him until he oozes off of his mortal coil.

I’m guessing this is what tomorrow’s surprise national night’s surprise national address is about.

But who knows with this chucklefuck? He could just be announcing the start of construction of his DC Arc de Triomphe.

Holy Shit!

Harry Litman (of Talking Feds) was on Charlie Sykes’ To the Contrary and said something I completely missed when it came out and had to double check.

It’s true. John fucking Yoo (infamous Torture Memo author) says these strikes are illegal and unconstitutional.

So uh…

I agree with John Yoo.

John Yoo, welcome to The Resistance! (please stand over there. Further. Further. Just leave.)

Could also have gone in the plane crash thread.

A Jetblue airliner nearly had a midair collision with a US military plane (refueling tanker) conducting operations near Venezuela. Military plane had no transponder active but, because this shit is being done without oversight, none of the children running the show have thought to route civilian traffic away from active combat zones.

Trump was apparently referring to the 1976 nationalization of some American oil companies oil fields.

So Venezuela needs to send us half a century’s worth of oil in order to stop a war.

Er, yeah. But this isn't "combat" by any stretch. That requires two belligerents.

Didn’t you hear the SecDef SecWar? One of the men on the capsized boat took off his white shirt and waved it at a drone.

Clearly a hostile act.

We live in the worst timeline, and the worst people are in charge.

No...it could be worse.
AI could actually work properly, and be an evil consciousness like Skynet.
Instead of the Charlie Kirk hugging Jesus meme shitting toy it turned out to be.
