So correct me if I'm wrong but this is just them openly admitting to bombing boats they have no confirmed ID on? Isn't that a problem for THEIR (the deceased's) government? "Foreign government is performing extra judicial killings on my citizens"?
Yeah, no shit Sherlock. There are more illegal drugs on a billionaire's yacht than a 25 foot Boston Whaler.
More illegal drugs in the white house than on these boats.
Not long until the boats start shooting back
that's what they want.
Other countries should just start bombing american yatchs and private jets. They're much more likely to contain drugs.
How long has this gone on?
Your entire life or more. The blurriness of facial identification on drone bombers has always been a feature, especially when multiplied by "network analysis", the academic field of guilt by association. Before that, there was the Phoenix Program. Before that, entire cities were razed. Not to imply any of it stopped.
The lawmaker pointed to the Pentagon's admission to explain why the Trump administration "could not actually hold or try the individuals that survived one of the attacks is because they could not satisfy the evidentiary burden."
Call me old fashioned, but I'm of the opinion that if you don't have the evidence to try someone, you definitely don't have the evidence to execute them.
It's a war crime to execute suspected drug smugglers, or even to execute instead of trial someone found in possession of a large amount of drugs. There is no possible identification of anyone on board or even boat owner from high altitude.
Furthermore, many of the strikes are on speedboats that are going fast enough to plane over the water. It is impossible for any boat to go that fast with enough fuel to get to Florida, and the open cockpit boats themselves look obviously empty. This is simply, provably, pure terrorist evil.
So where does just possibly probably bombing innocent civilian vessels fall there?
pedantics here, wouldn't that be a crime against humanity, rather than a war crime, since we're not at war?
So, we're just indiscriminately bombing fishing trawlers, got it.
Even if they were 100% certain of who they were, murdering people over drugs is fucking insane. If they're in your territory and you want to arrest them and put them through the justice system, okay, but just straight up killing them is evil.
Torpedoing the prop blades or disabling the engine to interdict and board is something the Coasties practice regularly for drug missions, we know how to shoot to disable and to kill. Blowing up the whole boat is straight up murder
Giving random people the death penalty, for maybe or maybe not committing a crime that even if it turns out they were, doesn't even qualify for the death penalty in either the country they are from or the country that is killing them... is so far beyond crazy... it shouldn't have been able to happen once, let alone keep happening.
And if that wasn't crazy enough, people that survive the strikes, can't be legally brought in because the burden of proof isn't met to even question them... but killing them is happening?
Wow those Epstein files must really be something. The homies are ready to WWIII us to distract from the coverup.
Yeah. That's just called "murder", then.
It's murder either way. Even if they were drug smugglers, that is not something worth killing.
Even if they were worth killing it'd still be murder
Yes, what I meant is more that in case of an imminent terrorist attack, I would deem it okay to kill somebody if it saves the life's of other people and no other less lethal method was sure to stop the attack.
It's murder and terrorism even if they were positively identifying drug traffickers.
So, they're terrorists...right?
That depends. Is this still the definition of the word?

Those people are civilians of other countries... Either they are as individuals terrorists or US is at war with Venezuela. Take your pick.
Not sure which "they're" you're referring to, but of them already claimed they are.
That is called terrorism.
How long before the cartels start kidnapping US citizens and forcing them under duress onto fast boats?
How long til the US Govt starts blowing them away anyway?
Killing US citizens has never been a big deal for the US govt.
Especially lately.
how long until cartels
Dunno. Don't think they're using these boats. The whole point of smuggling is that it's covert, you know?
how long until the us government
Exactly as long as it takes them to ejaculate at the thought. Maybe twelve seconds?
The reports say most smuggling is through containerships and air travel. Attacking the little boats is mostly bullying where violence is the point.
so … the same accuracy as our “precision drone strikes” then …
I think the glorification of the brutality is better than the indifferent platitudes, it’s almost more humanizing
Mileikowsky says it's okay to do that
