These killings have been a factor in the history of this country of mine - killing people suspected of being terrorists was okd by the Bush administration and even by the Obama administration (shame on Barrack). However, our current criminal president has taken these extrajudicial killings to a new level. Clearly the criminals in our current administration have the goal of regime change in Venezuela. Unfortunately we also have a history of just killing people without any process- now we are killing people in boats on the guise that they are trying to bring drugs to the U.S.
According to the U.N. these actions by my government violate not only Venezuela's sovereignty but also the U.N. charter:
GENEVA - Covert action and threats of using armed force against the Government of Venezuela by the United States violate Venezuela’s sovereignty and the UN Charter, UN experts* said today.
“These actions also violate the fundamental international obligations not to intervene in the domestic affairs or threaten to use armed force against another country,” the experts said. “These moves are an extremely dangerous escalation with grave implications for peace and security in the Caribbean region.”

But things get more complicated when the people attacked are not who our government claims they are (not to even mention the impossibility of traveling in a small boat the thousands of miles to reach the U.S.). Two survivors are not Venezuelan: one is from Ecuador and the other from Columbia. oops?
Funny how just last month trump was begging for the nobel peace prize.
