^ with the general state of problems in Venezuela and Maduro I think you are right.

Even if the cruise ship had intentionally (did not happen) sailed into venezuelan waters (it did not sail into VN waters or violate any 'borders', which would be open anyway for cruise ships), there would have been no reason or justification for this kind of attack.. i wonder what was going on there.

The german foreign office has warned since january of travelling to Venezuela, it also urged any tourists to leave. Now ports and airports are closed.

Sounds like good advice. They are getting into Mad Max times down there and it's not going to get any better before it gets a lot worse.

perhaps el presidente Madura(note feminine ending) simply wished to commandeer a large vessel now that he's under indictment on U.S. Federal drug trafficking charges. Poor nitwit probably knows his sagging machismo jig is up...probably sooner than later, and maybe wanted to obtain transport to allied Cuba for his family and gangster cronies...

He's probably afraid Master Gunnery Sergeant Thomas Beckett is on his way down.

Probably not: like the Brit WWII sniper plot to kill Hitler walking to his afternoon teahouse, it was decided that der fuhrer's incommpetence was an asset to the Allies, so no-go. Maduro is such and a default incompetent replacement for atrocious Chaves who died in office...so not his fault entirely! TrumpsBBY lets him live because it makes him look good...by comparison:

It wouldn't surprise me if there is a public keelhauling.

An act of sea banditry? Attempting to take by force food, fuel, medicine from the cruise ship maybe?

^ Maybe

Maduro has accused the cruise ship 'Resolution' to have "violated" VN waters, and ramming the VN ship. Not much sense here.

But wait, it is a conspiracy.. the US has tasked the (disguised as german) US ship to land mercenaries and eavesdrop on VN broadcasts. Or something like that..

That's right. Nothing is ever his fault. He knows more about shifting blame than anyone else.....

And all your side knows is how to twist any situation into a slam on Trump. The Democrat media is the quintessential boy who cried wolf and it's this willingness to blame him for anything and everything is what's going to reelect Trump in November.
