...Because we want to convict you and send you to prison for LIFE!

Has anyone seen what they are using to sink these boats? I have seen nothing on the platforms or the munitions.
Oh, boy...the ambulance chasers and ACLU will be all over these guys.
If they follow the tides and eventually hit land, many will get back into circulation.
I'm all for hitting these speed boats but should we use incendiary bombs to burn all that crap up before if floats away?

Its another brilliant move. Trump knows whatever he does , the left will screech. So what does be do? Kill drug international terrorists/drug dealers. Now democrats have allied themselves with drug dealers to spite Trump. Another 80-20 issue the democrats have sunk their teeth into.
A PBY Catalina. My uncle was a flying chief.
We have captured these things before.
fly the stuff over in drones. Small packages but then drones aren’t that expensive.
It has been reported that MQ-9 Reapers with Hellfire missiles have been deployed for counter-drug trafficking in the Caribbean. Spotted in Puerto Rico.
And his pimps on FR.
The drug trade is fueled by stupid American users and evil politicians.
Trump is really making it a pain in the ass for drug runners. He seals the Southern Border, so mules now have to use crossings, subject to search, he’s likely shooting down any drones crossing the border (we got a lot of practice on that in Ukraine), and he’s intercepting large-scale drug running operations.
The only downside is that if he keeps this up, the Cartels might get mad at him (just imitating our usual hand-wringers here!).
Naro-submarine capture stories are plenty around the internet.
[A small skirmish occurred between British and Chinese warships in the Kowloon Estuary on 4 September 1839. After almost a year, the British government decided, in May 1840, to send a military expedition to impose reparations for the financial losses experienced by opium traders in Canton and to guarantee future security for the trade. On 21 June 1840, a British naval force arrived off Macao and moved to bombard the port of Dinghai. In the ensuing conflict, the Royal Navy used its superior ships and guns to inflict a series of decisive defeats on Chinese forces.
The war was concluded by the Treaty of Nanking (Nanjing) in 1842, the first of the Unequal treaties between China and Western powers. The treaty ceded the Hong Kong Island and surrounding smaller islands to Britain, and established five cities as treaty ports open to Western traders: Shanghai, Canton, Ningbo, Fuzhou, and Xiamen (Amoy).]
The laissez-faire attitude towards narcotics in the West did not change for a century. In the US, drug possession and sale were penalized with substantial prison time only after Drug Prohibition (aka the Harrison Act) in 1914. Until 1905, Coca Cola contained cocaine extract.
Even the Wikipedia extract contains a favorite Chinese term - unequal treaty - to describe the outcomes of the wars. All war outcomes are like that. Winners impose terms. It’s obvious what they’re doing. Losers getting terms imposed on them is fine, especially losers in wars against China, but China getting the short end is a crime against nature, or something.
17 dead and 39 wounded on the USS Cole would support taking such action to keep these boats from their intended rounds. And the Cartels want to declare war? On this administration? And millions will say, we voted for this.
In a way an attack on the US DEA by a Cartel may be the excuse the Trump Administration is hoping for.
Especially IF US government employees were killed.
This would give the political coverage to declare all out war on the Cartels. If Mexico, Columbia, Bolivia, Venezuela don’t like that, then too bad.
That could explain why my fentanyl is getting so expensive.
But, but, didn’t they as citizens of the world deserve an international criminal court hearing with due process and a fair and U.S. taxpayer legal defence?

If new reports are true: the supply of drug boats will be drying up fast, along with the associated shore operations, manufacturing, and distribution centers. Not to mention some one snapping up the $50,000,000 bounty on Maduro’s head.
Trump gave a press conference a couple days ago. A panty-waist reporter asked “Why can’t we just capture these boats.” Trump’s reply was spot-on perfect (paraphrasing): “We’ve done that for 30 years and it does not work. It’s time for something new.”
When do we EVER hear government people admitting that their approach does not work and why keep repeating it? Why not try a new approach? I LOVE that he said that. Man, do I LOVE that.
I think that’s the first time in my life somebody in government has said “what we are doing does not work.”
Now apply that to welfare, SNAP, EBT, AFDC (Aid to Families with Dependent Children) and TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families), etc., that have done nothing but create multi-generational public “assistance” dependency.
