US Caribbean boat bombing campaign keeps getting worse.

Colombia says US killed Colombian fishermen in Colombian waters. Add international incident to illegal, unethical, and bad strategy.

DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Yes, we are the baddies.

Trump II's justification for these strikes has been that these are Venezuelan terrorists engaged in warfare against the US who are so dangerous they must be summarily killed.

The two survivors are Ecuadorian and Colombian, and they're so harmless they'll be sent back home.
