We have woken up to the fact that the current action can help solve a decades old problem that's only getting worse . So far this is a war on Vene Cartels and it suits some of us just fine. Apart from the possible llegal neutralization of the smuggler boat everything else is just speculation..

You have no clue how much random cocaine and bodies wash up on our beaches, sometimes hundreds of kilos, and then you have villagers and all kinds of usually normal people going crazy looking for and collecting bricks, and that's only when things go wrong, we are dealing with tons of drugs and tons of guns arriving from Venezuela everyday .

Everyone not affected sees all kinds of negatives and hope for the best, some of us see the positives and hope for the best. No one knows what the final outcome would be not even the US . It's all speculatuon, just different flavors.

All good questions and simply answer is.... and I answered this months ago that DJT is running the US government as a big distraction to what is truly going on behind the scenes. This is 3D distraction in a hyper environment where a real problem is hijacked to suit some strategic agenda. The point is the cruelty, a show, build a narrative, a pretext, then execute against that pretext. You can't put dead men on trial and they are only drug dealers, so no one should care that the US used a tomahawk missile to blow up a speed boat with 11 drug dealers. Laws and human rights be damned. US wants Venezuelan oil, they tried regime change-it failed. So they are going go take it the plain old fashioned way or perhaps remove any agitation that might threaten the oil they have the rights to own. And if blowing up a speed boat that can distract from everything else, Epstein files, failing tariffs policy, weakening job numbers and failing US economy, who cares.

Two days after Jamaica's 1980 elections I personally walked through an aircraft that was getting ready for take-off. The passengers were all political goons who had terrorized the nation and were rewarded with entry to the US. They later became Shower Posse Soldiers. Is TNT's drug/crime problem in part a resort US destabilization of Vene? Are they trying to solve a problem they created and breaking the law to do so? No one here is showing sympathy for drug dealers. We're simply saying
Don't stop law-breaking by breaking the law
Beware US action because today for me tomorrow for you.
When US action backfires it affects you more than them such as the impact of Shower Posse's Intel crime rings effect on Yard.

Check the arrests...it's the locals bringing guns into T&T...

T&T men, Venezuelan caught en route to collect guns and drugs for local syndicate
Senior police officers say the arrest of several Trinidadian men and a Venezuelan national at sea, who were allegedly on their way to collect a shipment of guns and illegal drugs bound for this country, is being viewed as a major breakthrough in the fight against crime.

Yesterday, senior intelligence officials confirmed the authenticity of a video circulating on social media showing the arrest of, what appeared to be at least five T&T nationals by Venezuelan security forces aboard a vessel intercepted in international waters. The incident, which occurred around August 13 or 14, is now being linked to the broader transnational criminal networks currently under scrutiny as part of the ongoing State of Emergency (SoE).

2 T&T Nationals Charged for Conspiracy to Smuggle Guns from Florida


Two T&T nationals sentenced for arms trafficking...

Sport administrator, businessman and football coach Shem Alexander has pleaded guilty to “conspiracy to smuggle firearms from the United States to Trinidad and Tobago”, according to a release from the United States Attorney’s Office.US authorities initially described Alexander as “leader of a transnational criminal organisation”, which illegally exported firearms and firearms components to the two-island republic. He faced a maximum of 20 years if convicted.

If the count is correct, the COPS have killed over 50 for this year.

Locals/Venes are the biggest suppliers of weapons in T&T...smuggled via porous borders.

On my last visit I could rent a gun with 500.00 dollars T&T as deposit.sad
