    Anyone else find it odd that they continue to just blow up boats without providing evidence of narcotics on board meanwhile the single time they boarded a boat to find narcotics it turned out to be fishermen and was a huge embarrassment?

      I don’t find it odd. They just blow up fishermen and refugee boats because it destroys the lack of evidence as well

            No i mean the fuckers out there floating around looking for people to blow up. Trump probably set some insane quota not based in reality. These guys can just make shit up to make him happy.

              I actually think this is just Hegseth running amok and orange face king doesn’t give a shit because its one more distraction from project 2025.

              Cause soo much problems that is impossible to rally behind one thing. Divide divide divide.

    Just a reminder, Rodrigo Duterte is currently in jail in The Hague for crimes against humanity because he was ordering the extrajudicial murder of suspected drug dealers.

      Slight difference here; there are laws in the US requiring them to invade the Netherlands and pullout any locked up American from the ICC if that were to happen. Insanity.

        In the US, the President can simply ignore laws and do whatever he wants. According to recent precedent

      Ah yes cause the pot calling the kettle black is usually the trustworthy one.

      Fwiw I don’t know who to believe in this one. They’re both massive liars.

    We’re waiting on actual evidence of even one of these boats having anything to do with drugs

    Better yet, I’m waiting for evidence that ALL of these boats had anything to do with drugs and that you didn’t just randomly murder a bunch of innocent citizens for political points.

    I think it’s a very bad moment to go vacationing or fishing in the Caribbean right now with these pirates just randomly sinking random boats

    Donald Trump murdering foreign civilians for having the gall to travel within international waters. I suppose he considers that small potatoes compared to insurrection and child rape.

    Maybe these are just boats full of the missing people from Alligator Auschwitz and they’re using this as a ploy to cover it up?

      They have no need to cover it up. Those people can disappear and then when they’re challenged about it (assuming any journalists with an ounce of balls are allowed to ever ask another question) they’ll just respond “They were undocumented, so they disappeared. What of it?”
