Preposterous. Either the Captain of the U.S.S. Kearsarge is being foolishly sarcastic in an interview with the Trinidadian media, or he is outright lying and hoping his audience consists of dumb natives (see the post on Guanaguanare). What is interesting is that Captain Ponds needed to reply in that manner, since it confirms what we knew: the so-called “humanitarian” mission of the Marines (when not razing Iraqi cities and firing white phosphorous into schools, they like to scrape the plaque off of a Trinidadian vagrant’s tooth) is in fact a geopolitical exercise in containment and espionage, a mere seven miles from the Venezuelan coast, as Russian naval exercises are about to begin there.
