Security tries to block DT photographer from taking photo, last paragraph
SANTO DOMINGO. - At a time when drug trafficking and organized crime surge as Central America and the Caribbean’s main security threats, the United States Southern Command comes to the country to train the members of the Navy to guarantee regional security.
It’s an ongoing effort with the 25th military exercises “Tradewinds,” which began yesterday with the participation of 88 members of the naval forces of Dominican Republic, Panama, Honduras and Nicaragua.
The exercises which will conclude March 18 have the specific objective of training the military and police units, focused on joint operations.
The operational skill and response capacity for natural disasters will be evaluated, aimed at confronting the threats to regional security, said the coordinating entities in a statement.

Perhaps they were loading some "Whiteknight"! What a bunch of Pelosi (crap). Tell the Security to go "Jump in the River," They are in the open for all to see, why all the security? if they did not want "eyes", they could have gone elsewhere or even offshore..

This a true dichotomy; The OAS Allies conducting military excercises on Domincan soil; While the DR President is at yet another summit, giving and receiving lip-service in Cuba.

Now that's what I call a true Jesuit, CFR kindred spirit, globalist apparatchik.

Why you want a photo of the boat. Just search online and you will find many photos. Also that photo does not show much. It the photographer was smarter. He could just rent a bout and go around and take better pictures, instead of just trying to get the picture from the port.

It is not good of the interest of the USA and the neo-republican Cubans; otherwise it would have been done after the Soviet left Cuba.

Jeez,
You guys are morons.
Why post a picture of those Navy crewman? So some yahoo can target them when they are on Liberty?
What do you care? You are all so brave and holier than thou behind a computer monitor. Most of the people here aren't worthy of their protection.
F.Y.I.
These exercises had been scheduled to take place for over a year.
