US Navy Destroyer Personnel Board Venezuelan Tuna Boat

This shit is getting bad. Krasnov and Whiskey Pete are using the military to provoke a war with Venezuela.

18 armed personnel from the destroyer boarded the tuna vessel in Venezuelan waters and detained the boat for 8 hours.

Krasnov is getting us used to the military violating people's rights.

We had all of the resources we needed to stop, detain and board other boats, but that was absolutely not our mission.
