      On Friday, President Donald Trump announced a third fatal U.S. strike on an alleged Venezuelan drug-smuggling boat. The operation, which killed what Trump called three “male narcoterrorists,” follows two U.S. strikes earlier this month also on alleged Venezuelan drug boats. […] Trump isn’t throwing out empty threats. The U.S. has eight warships based in the Caribbean—many off the coast of Venezuela—and 10 F-35 fighter jets stationed in Puerto Rico. And with draft legislation that would authorize Trump to wage war on anyone he deems a “narcoterrorist,” Washington may be on the cusp of a larger-scale militarization that looks ominously similar to former President George W. Bush’s global war on terror.
