"we do not agree with these attacks"

Tell me that the cartels own your government without telling me that the cartels own your government.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum told her morning press conference "we do not agree with these attacks".

Last time I checked, these pirates driving boats of no nation were being destroyed on the high seas, not in Mexican territorial waters.

We need to declare war on the countries allowing these boats.

Trump keep a lid this and tell us when all the trash has been taken out. No one needs know what goes on out in the middle of nowhere. Porpoises are terrible witnesses.

"We want all international treaties to be respected," she added.

Is there an international treaty about not smuggling drugs, not bypassing a country's Customs inspections?

LOL! Rand Paul, RandFan, and Assie now have non-Venezuelan drug subs and boats bombed, which shows more consistency, they would say.

They were knocking our work against Venezuela, which is a “tiny” producer.

I’m thinking the Rands and Assies will give Trump a “Thumbs Up,” now.

I haven’t seen anything on this subject in a long time. Years ago, there was an article on how the cartels got their drugs transported by sea. The cartels didn’t have their own seamen. They used different incentives to get regular fishermen and sailors to crew the boats. Sometimes they’d kidnap their families. Sometimes they’d simply pay them a couple of thousand dollars. Sometimes they’d “impress” (enslave) them. The point of the article was, at least at that time, the cartel didn’t employ their own people to crew the subs or the boats. The crews ranged from essentially slaves to coerced men, to paid “contractors.”

My point is, the loss of the drugs may hurt the cartel, but the cost of those drugs compared to the price they bring is very low. Perhaps one dollar of cost for a thousand dollars gained at market. But the cartels are not losing cartel members when the boats are blown up. It’s hard to evaluate the morality of blowing up the boats without knowing the details, which may differ boat to boat. I’m thinking that by not knowing these details there may be a potential hidden public relations disaster when the details come out. It might be that the people we blew up were doing it to save their families from being murdered.

While most on this medium might not care, it’s not unknown for the best government intention to be undone by bad press. (Actually, there’s no other kind.)

The beauty of naval warfare is there are no witnesses or innocent civilians to get in the way. Just do this and keep it SECRET.

the scandal is that they have known about this for years.

The previous policy was not to destroy the boats but rather to disable and capture them.

I’ve seen youtube shows about that.

They don’t say what percent of the traffic they are stopping.

“tensions between the US and the governments of both Colombia and Venezuela.

I almost had hope for Colombia. But, something in the water South of the border keeps them voting for commies. Hopefully Millie can hold Argentina together.

What I have difficult time understanding is how they keep coming up with guys to man these boats? But maybe it is like possums crossing a road. After the first 15 get squished, the 16th still thinks it is a good idea. They must be dipping out of the shallow end of the gene pool.
