1. La narrativa oficial y las afirmaciones de la administración.
Publicaciones que citan o describen las justificaciones del gobierno estadounidense para los ataques, atribuyendo a las embarcaciones el transporte de grandes cantidades de fentanilo y cocaína destinadas a los Estados Unidos.
- On drug boats: "every boat kills 25,00 people" with fentanyl. Note: venezuela is responsible for very little fentanyl trafficking.
- Q: what can you tell us about this venezuelan boat that was taken out, and do you plan to provide proof that these were narco terrorists? trump: we have proof. All you have to do is look at the cargo that was spattered all over the ocean. Big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place.
- Trump just making up statistics: “every venezuela drug boat kills about 25,00 people. Mostly fentanyl. “we take them out. We’ve taken out four.”.
- It’s trump announcing a u.s. Military strike on a drug-carrying boat, killing 11 people he called terrorists. This escalates his campaign against venezuelan cartels, which he holds responsible for fentanyl trafficking into the u.s.
- Trump: "when i see boats coming in like loaded up the other day with all sorts of drugs -- probably fentanyl mostly -- we're gonna take them out. And if people wants to have fun on the high seas of the low seas they're gonna be in trouble.".
2. Refutación del vínculo entre Venezuela y el fentanilo.
La mayoría de las publicaciones contradicen la versión oficial, afirmando que Venezuela no es un productor ni una ruta principal para el fentanilo. Se señala consistentemente a México como el productor, utilizando precursores químicos de China.
- "experts told the new york times that venezuela plays little to no role in the fentanyl trade. That drug is almost exclusively produced in mexico using chemicals imported from china.".
- Fentanyl is brought into the us from mexico by land, not from venezuela by boat.
- More than 96% of cocaine, almost all the fentanyl and meth come to the us via mexico.
- Venezuela makes zero fentanyl. China and mexico are the fentanyl pipeline. This is just bullshit by trump to get oil control .
- May 2025 intel report showed zero percent of us fentanyl came from venezuela, 96% came from mexico/colombian cartels.
- Experts and u.s. Government reports indicate venezuela plays almost no role in the production and trade of fentanyl, which is mainly manufactured in mexico using chemicals from china.
3. Cuestionamientos sobre la legalidad y la falta de pruebas.
Se expresa escepticismo sobre la veracidad de las afirmaciones, la falta de pruebas concretas de que las embarcaciones transportaran drogas y la legalidad de realizar ejecuciones extrajudiciales en aguas internacionales.
- No one knows if there were any drugs on the boat that trump ordered to be sunk.
- Blowing up boats now where the evidence is on the bottom of the ocean.
- And you know that they had fentanyl. How? they didn't stop the boat they didn't board the boat and inspect it. They just automatically assumed because they were coming from the direction of venezuela that they were carrying drugs and killed them without any due process. That's called a war crime.
- A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 what i dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the dea says vz doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us?
- Even if these boats were carrying fentanyl, heroin, cocaine, lsd, or some brand-new designer drug, the penalty in the us for drug smuggling has never been death. Everything about this is illegal.
4. Motivos alternativos: Petróleo y estrategia política.
Varias publicaciones sugieren que la verdadera motivación detrás de los ataques no son las drogas, sino los intereses geopolíticos y económicos, específicamente el control de las vastas reservas de petróleo de Venezuela.
- Forget fentanyl. The attacks on venezuelan fishermen have nothing to do with drugs. Google “orinoco petroleum fields—and get ready for trump to claim invasion as the only way to stop nonexistent drug traffic from that country. Another republican potus, prepping us for war to control oil.
- It’s the us addiction to oil not fentanyl that’s driving trump’s latest ploy in venezuela.
- This isn’t about drugs or preventing fentanyl from entering the country. This is trump looking for a or we text to invade venezuela so he can argue he needs to stay in power.
- 100% of venezuela’s oil is in venezuela. They aren’t chasing cocaine or fentanyl even a little.
5. Preocupaciones por el impacto ambiental.
Algunos comentarios expresan alarma por las consecuencias ecológicas de bombardear barcos supuestamente cargados de drogas, liberando sustancias tóxicas como el fentanilo en el océano y afectando a la vida marina.
- If there was fentanyl on those boats, the whales, sharks, dolphins and sea life would be ingesting, no?
- If these boats are really carrying all this fentanyl, wouldn’t it be better to seize them instead of bombing them and releasing the fentanyl into our oceans? tests have detected fentanyl in the fat of dolphins.
- In addition to all the obvious deeply-concerning issues with this strike, if true, releasing large amounts of cocaine and fentanyl into the ocean would cause serious harm to the ocean including marine life.
- Too bad nothing he says can be believed. If true not a good way to dispose of lethal drugs in large quantities our oceans are alive with marine life and now according to trump there's fentanyl all over the place.
