The concentration of U.S. military forces near Venezuela, which threatens the entire Caribbean region, has generated multiple interpretations, criticisms, questions, speculations, doubts, and accusations.
One of the first insinuations concerns the moral character of the main proponent of the vengeful adventure against Caracas, the current Secretary of State, Marco Rubio. This character has a murky and dusty past due to the drug trafficking records of very close relatives, such as a millionaire brother-in-law, sentenced to 35 years in prison for cocaine trafficking, of which he only served 12. The relative continued with new businesses under the protection of the anti-Cuban's rising political career.
This is the same Marco Rubio who, with Hitlerian arrogance, openly states that the UN has no credibility to refute the U.S's farce of accusing Maduro.
Others wonder if we are dealing with a personal problem, a business deal, a shipment from the Miami mafia to the president, or the hidden thread of a conspiracy, a resource of traitors, to help Trump divert attention from the relentless hunt for migrants and the questions they raise, concerned about his declining popularity ahead of the upcoming elections.
Regarding the magnified and criticized alleged sinking of a drug traffickers' boat "from Venezuela" with 11 people on board, the Florida press claims that there are serious doubts as to whether it was exclusively an attack against the drug traffickers or whether it was a publicity stunt to divert attention from Venezuelans and Cubans living in that country, in the face of one of the largest mass deportations in U.S. history.
More than 600,000 people have been deported to Venezuela alone, most of them without criminal records: waiters, nannies, construction workers, and other workers who did jobs that most Americans do not want to do.
But beyond the threats posed by the disproportionate US military presence in the Caribbean, there are already reports
The spectacular sinking of the alleged boat as a premeditated murder of 11 people, in violation of the powers of the White House, the US Constitution, and international law.
Under US law, drug traffickers' boats must be intercepted and inspected, and their crews brought to trial if drugs are found. In other words, you cannot deliberately kill and destroy the evidence before asking questions.
"Mere suspicion of transporting drugs, or simply being pursued in international waters, are not crimes that carry the death penalty, let alone summary execution," said the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA).
On the other hand, US.. media outlets claim that several former US anti-drug officials question Rubio's and his entourage's version of the sunken boat, as drug traffickers' boats usually have two or three crew members and not 11, as in this case, which is very poorly scripted and smacks of a manipulated and fabricated story.
Many are asking: What was really behind the order to sink this boat and the propaganda fanfare surrounding the alleged incident?
El Nuevo Herald itself, close to the mafia but not indifferent to the widespread discontent with deportations and the manhunt for "foreign criminals," argues that, in addition to trying to appear "tough" on drug trafficking, "Trump probably wanted to ingratiate himself with his political base of Cubans and Venezuelans in Florida," with the support of Marco Rubio and his chorus of anti-Cuban traitorous legislators who applauded the crime and are calling for more bloodshed.
Marco Rubio makes no secret of his intention to crown his presidential bid with the "legacy" of defeating the revolutions in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, but he also cannot hide his frustration in the face of truths more powerful than all the weapons and marines they can deploy and use to try to massacre countries.
Wrapped in lies, setups, "negotiations," scandals, threats, blackmail and pressure tours, hateful statements, palace conspiracies, and million-dollar subversive plots, even against bosses and colleagues, the dark Secretary of State will miss his last train in the steadfastness and unity of our peoples.
