The Venezuelan Navy humiliates itself

Monica Showalter:
Late stage socialism has some pretty clownishly weird stuff on offer but can't say I've ever seen anything like this:
According to the BBC:
A Venezuelan navy coastal patrol boat sank in the Caribbean after allegedly ramming a cruise ship that it had ordered to change direction.
The owners of the Portuguese-flagged RCGS Resolute said the naval vessel Naiguata also fired shots in an "act of aggression in international waters”.
The collision left the cruise ship, which has a reinforced hull for sailing in icy waters, with only minor damage.

So here we have a show of military might from the brave and ready chavista Venezuelan government, whose leader has just been declared by the U.S. to be a drug dealer and put on a special "Noriega" list, probably getting ready for his close-up against some loud tapes playing Linda Ronstadt's "You're No Good," and they decided to put on a show of military force to teach gringo or something.

But instead of attacking a U.S. Navy warship, several of which have been dispatched by President Trump to the Venezuelan coast two days ago, loaded with surveillance aircraft and special forces teams, they went after a ... cruise ship, which might have been loaded with big German tourists sipping pina coladas, but in this case wasn't.
...
This looks liek a scene out of a comedy featuring the incompetence of socialists.
