American technology has been applied to a continuing drug war in the Caribbean and Latin American Region. Many small boats are being blown out of the water by American drones and sea ships and this will undoubtedly continue in the future. Now there is absolutely no proof these small ships are carrying drugs. In fact these small carriers could be carrying migrants hoping to travel from one island to another ultimately reaching America. The secretive nature of these transports allow American Forces to simply bomb them without any other explanation other then they are Cartel Carriers.
Do you believe American assertions that these small ships are part of Cartels Transportation network or perhaps that America has applied a new form of Violent Diplomacy to the Caribbean Region?
Why are massive numbers of troops and equipment flowing into the Caribbean and at what cost to the American taxpayer and those who live in the region?
According to Democrat Party sources The Trump Administration has taken the gloves off on how it will deal with the Caribbean, spending in excess of over a billion dollars in operational costs. Why? We are told America is trying to halt all illicit operations of Cartels human/drug/ shipments and reestablishing America in the Caribbean as its primary influencer. Ten’s of thousands of troops have been both publicly and secretively transferred into the region. Why? We all know the War Against Drugs declared by Ronald Reagan long ago has been lost so long as America’s appetite for Illicit Drugs continues to increase annually. There is a alternative perspective here.
Is a New American Empire being reinstituted in The Americas and its initial baby steps have begun in a easily accessed Caribbean Region? America has weaponized tariffs as the new weapon of choice capable of damaging a nations economy quickly and effectively. Imagine what a huge tariff would do to a small island nation with limited exports to America. Financial and Social chaos right? Well America has sent a flotilla into the Caribbean acting like a big bully indiscriminately attacking targets of opportunity. America is flexing its military and intelligence muscles on small defenseless nations who cannot say “no” to a military machine like America’s.
Note that those Caribbean Nations that have been trading with China are becoming targets of American threats. Columbia, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, Cuba, Nicaragua, El Salvador and others face tariffs and threats from a former ally and friend.
Others globally will suffer in the process of “Making America Great Again”! The Trump Administration is not waiting for an opportunity to build this empire, they are creating it.
