    Two fat old men causing the deaths of young men and women. Things will never change.

  2. Is this like an OJ style slow-speed pursuit? Those tankers aren’t the quickest or most maneuverable vessels.

    So the US *is* capable of apprehending suspects without blowing them up after all?

    Interesting.

    Man all that guarding, at this point should we just rename them to Venezuelan Coastal Pirates?

    i am just a dumb american
    1. I agree with enforcing sanctions, I don’t agree with blowing people up for something they never went to trial for.
    2. I didn’t know that the coast guard operated within foreign countries coasts

  6. America – Where if you speak Spanish you can be detained! America – Where if you’re darker skinned you can be detained America – Where the rich get richer and the poor blames the poor! America – Where if you challenge the status quo, you can be silenced! America – Where education is a privilege, not a right! America – Where access to healthcare depends on your wallet! America – Where freedom of speech often comes with a price! America – Where systemic inequalities persist behind a facade of opportunity! America – Where “Don’t Tread on Me” becomes “Please Protect Me” when the threat is madeup! America – Where the champions of liberty cheer as their rights are quietly stripped away! America – Where freedom fighters become wary of their own shadows! America – Where the call for small government fades when fear takes the front seat! America – Where those who once bristled at authority now accept surveillance as safety! America-
    Where we can murder anyone, anywhere, without any due process. America – Where we play God everyday!

    Imagine if the whole ship was a massive explosive trap. It would be a huge environmental disaster too.

    As long as that tanker stays up on a plane the Coasties ain’t gonna catch it. Tankers can do like 8 knots

    Why tf are you in another hemisphere? “MiLiTaRy dOeSnT neED to be RemInDed about IllEgAL oRdeRs. ItS cOnDesCenDing.”

  10. Ah, so THIS one will actually have drugs on it, which is why it wasn’t just blown up – so they can capture it and parade it around to say “see! We told you we were hunting bad hombres!”

    This movie is too predictable who’s writing this shit?

    Are they going to retrieve evidence of drug trafficking for once? Or just keep playing judge, jury, and executioner?
