    Let’s say I accept that traffickers are running a hundred boats a day with millions worth of drugs… at what point do they change how they move drugs, run out of boats, or simply, let’s say, focus on one of the many other ways they ship drugs.

    How do these murderers live with themselves? I am waiting for them to start shooting down airplanes.

  3. So our government is just gonna keep on blowing up boats and murdering folks with zero evidence, leaving behind no survivors. Wtf…

  4. Has there been a decrease in illicit drugs entering America because of the strikes? No I didn’t think so. It’s no different than Trump talking about the caravan coming from Central America full of drug dealers, murderers and rapists or pets disappearing in Springfield. The difference this time is that Trump and Hegseth are committing murder and they should be charged in the ICC .

    Are we really to believe drug lords are consistently loading up their products on these boats just hoping it doesn’t happen again? This is such bullshit.

    “Mr president we have selected a strike package we think will achieve those ends while maintaining proportionality”

    It’s genuinely psychotic that they’ve killed 95 people like this and any survivors are murdered in second strikes just because, we need to find all of the links in the chain of command who did this and frankly jail them as if they can willingly shoot random people ‘assumed to be drug traffickers’ who’s to say they wouldn’t also just gun down civilians in cold blood assuming they haven’t already?

  8. This is all an ego game with Trump ! He faked bone spurs twice to beat the draft ! He considers veterans who get injured, die in combat or grabbed by the enemy as being cowards. He shouldn’t be the CIC !

    friendly reminder to those not so versed in geography, Venezuela doesn’t have coastline in the pacific. They’re fully on the atlantic side of south america

  10. What would happen if it was a US boat? I’m sure the US wouldn’t think it was justified. I don’t understand why an international court isn’t asking questions.

    Only one reason fentanyl has been declared a WMD (weapon of mass destruction). Same reason Bush used to invade Iraq. Plus, why such concern over people who turn their backs on their families and choose to play Russian roulette with fentanyl. Fentanyl is not a WMD, it is a very selective way of destruction, it only targets those who stick it in their own arms.

  12. Think of the fishes! Now we gonna have coked and meth’d up sashimi and sushi. And if they have been close to Fukushima they would be irradiated too with a green glow.

    Trump is going to rename Washington DC to Tortuga pretty soon here.

    That, or Shangri’La

  14. “transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific” translation they were in the ocean. One boat wasn’t even under power….
