People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

The navy already had some of the best available military technology to track drones fitted on the WB Yeats but still bungled it (if there were any drones at all). The media has been pretending the boat had no such capability. Do not pass go and remit €17 million in public money to the arms trade.
