Pentagon says it blew up five more boats in Caribbean and Pacific, killing at least eight

The Pentagon claims all of the boats were carrying drugs but has not provided evidence whatsoever.

Meanwhile, Russia has asked the United States to stop pursuing an oil tanker which had been sailing toward Venezuela to pick up oil.   In recent days, the vessel was added to Russia’s ship registry, and a Russian flag has been painted on its side.  The developments come as the U.S. intensifies military pressure on Venezuela.
