They ran away, they didn't rescue them.

Kinda shows that they might be on blame

Ps: Venezuelan here and I hate my gov but this looks really shaddy

The account I read indicated that the cruise ship offered assistance, got no response and remained on the scene until the MRCC arrived.

They were rammed by this military boat, headed by what looks like a crazy captain. Would you have brought them on-board?

They could have dropped an extra life-boat and called for help for them probably. But I can't entirely fault them for wanting to run away.

Of course they moved to a safe position, they were under attack by a navy ship. What would you have done?

And it wasn't just any navy, it was a Venezuelan navy ship, a country with erratic and unpredictable leadership.

So you're saying the navy vessel was both justified and acting in an intelligent manner when it rammed the cruise ship?

My guess is you are really troller working for the Maduro regime.
