Yeah this was strange—the boat strikes have been explained as hitting drug boats, and ground target strikes have been discussed as “going after drug locations” so either that’s a tanker full of fent, or they’ll say something mundane like the oil revenue is used by Maduro to fun his sun cartel. Either way, it’s just piracy out in the open. It’s amusing that they’re using DOJ comms to brag about it, like which is it, a law enforcement operation (nope you specifically made it mil so you could better get away with murder) or a military conflict, in which case what the fuck does bondi have to do with it.
