In reply to the discussion: Trump says the U.S. took out a 'big facility' in Venezuela amid strikes on alleged drug boats [View all]Prairie Gates
(7,145 posts)44. All CNN is reporting is that sources said there was an attack
They have no details as to location nor do they have any independent corroborating evidence. They are reporting that these admin sources say that something took place.
The whole thing sounds made up, frankly. It was a drone strike with no casualties, but Hegseth didn't release the video? Tell me another one.
Where was this "important dock?" I mean, hell, even when they bombed some no-name village in Nigeria they at least told the press which one. Here, it's operational silence? Come on, now.
There was no strike, drone or otherwise.
