Which begs the question: who is doing all that cocaine, once it’s delivered to the retail end of the chain?

And who is accepting delivery? Start executing dealers, distributors and kingpins and watch the supply dwindle.

Amazing!!! Really brave men! I’ll bet the smugglers were impressed, too.

Actually it is a “semi-submersible,” not actually a submarine. Notice it didn’t dive to get rid of the boarder.

Uh, because you can't just go around sinking boats in international waters?

Even boarding boats in international waters without permission isn't generally acceptable. That's what the pirates off the coast of Somalia do, or the Iranians do sometimes.

The type of boarding shown in the video only works because nobody with any military clout supports the owners of the smuggling boat.

If the boat was owned by, say Carnival Cruise Lines, and it was boarded by armed Chinese, North Koreans, Russians, Syrians or even Columbians I think we would hear a totally different take on the situation.

I consider the boat in the video to be a warship armed with enemy combatants armed with drugs to destroy/kill our citizens.

A clear and present danger and it should be unceremoniously sent to the bottom, occupants and payload.
