The announcement came after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said the military had killed six aboard a 10th boat that he asserted was carrying drugs. Hegseth can't wait to play with his toys.
Murder. Straight up murder. I know these boats and 'the drill.'
Some boats have been crowded, suggesting they could have been moving migrants as well as drugs. Some of the people on the boats have been from multiple countries, not just Venezuela, contradicting the administration’s assertions that officials knew all about the smuggling operations.
As I posted earlier, boat driver and crew have no choice but to do the cartel's bidding. Coyotes put paying customers on those boats to help offload cargo and, if beached, spin the boat to return home. If it's low on fuel or the boat gets swamped landing, they abandon the boat and everybody scatters.
Killing them means they are knowingly killing non-cartel civilians. The new America. As we treat the world, so shall they treat Americans.
