Colombian president says US military struck Colombian boat, killed his citizens (ABC)

The last boat struck by the U.S. military in the Caribbean Sea was Colombian with Colombian citizens inside, Colombian President Gustavo Petro said on Wednesday.

A U.S. person familiar with the details confirmed to ABC News that at least one of the boats hit by the military in the Caribbean Sea was believed to be from Colombia.

In a statement, however, the White House pushed back, calling the assertion "baseless" and said Colombia remained an "essential strategic partner."

The claim that the U.S. killed citizens of Colombia is likely to fan criticism that President Donald Trump is risking a wider regional war by launching a series of deadly strikes in the Caribbean Sea without saying who exactly is being targeted.

In my humble opinion, Trump has no idea who the fuck he is bombing... and has now added outright murder to his long list of crimes.

that would restrict Krasnov from blowing up those boats.

Rand Paul voted aye, John Fetterman voted no.

That stroke affected Fetterman, he's not the same person I voted for.

Maybe if the drug lords gave Krasnov bags of cash he would stop the indiscriminate bombings?

The bombings aren't about drugs, they're about Maduro.
