I wouldn't trust the current US Fraudministration with a popgun, much less missiles. They will "allege" just about anything, to rationalize their lust for aggressive conduct in this hemisphere. Also, this was a cynical ploy to get speculation on Trump's declining health out of the news cycle.

The United States is following the "Wag the Dog" principle . WTD includes using military resources to distract the public and set the stage for escalation. Fifty years ago it was the Tonkin Gulf incident that prompted U.S. military involvement in Viet Nam. We are still trying to unravel hat event however, we know the results. Here we go again. Venezuela. This distracts us from other events in the world and gives the stage back to President Trump to feast on the incident. All the WTD elements are present. Gang? Eleven people? Drugs on vessel? The narrative becomes fact. The U.S. public is now more familiar with the situation in Venezuela. The next step of action will be supported because of the first. Whether it actually occurred or not.
