Well, all of the known precursors are sold to the cartels in Mexico. Not Venezuela. After the fentanyl is produced, it makes it way into the country by land vehicles through the various POEs using Americans as mules. No boats needed.

I suppose it is possible that the fentanyl gets shipped south to Venezuela, placed on boats and sent to Trinidad. Not sure why, but I certainly can't prove it doesn't happen.

Nor can you prove they actually do that. Not even once.

One of the close up pictures shows a bunch of blue barrels interconnected with hoses maybe a centimeter in diameter with what appears to be a yellowish liquid in them. I have no idea what that is about, but I am dubious that fentanyl is transported as a liquid. Or cocaine for that matter. Somehow I doubt if it was moonshine, but who knows?

All we know is the administration has made the claim the boats are carrying fentanyl. Typical of MAGAts, they have not presented anything that smacks of proof, though. Given their propensity to lie about even small things, their credibility is pretty limited.
