Alone in Venezuelan Waters

The Caribbean looked dead calm when the Coast Guard Cutter Stone crossed into Venezuelan waters.

418 feet of American steel, alone, 67 miles offshore. No escort.

No backup. This was supposed to be a routine patrol. Drug interdiction.

Standard procedure. But three days earlier, Trump ordered strikes on Venezuelan boats. Four vessels destroyed.

Bodies in the water. No trials. No names. Just gone. Now the Stone was

deep in hostile territory during an undeclared conflict. The crew didn't know survivors from

the submarine strike were being interrogated. They didn't know Trump was refusing to rule out regime

change. They just knew the water was too quiet. And that calm doesn't last in war zones.
