Less than an hour ago I finished watching, (for the first time,) the Cain Mutiny.
Thaks!
Sink the crew. Keep the sub and later destroy the drugs. A “Win” all around.
Another PC writer for Fox News. There was nothing “apparent” about this being a narco-smuggling sub considering the shitload of coke it was carrying illegally.
You can use the term “apparent” re the crew until they are convicted, but let’s stop this media PC crappy misuse of the word “apparent”.
Re suspects you can legally use “reported/reportedly”, “suspected”, “potential”, “caught at the scene, in the act, etc”., and sometimes “identified”. APPARENT doesn’t cut it in the real world of journalism. I spent 50 years avoiding the word “apparent”.
Buffet and Gates don’t have lethal private armies, either. Soros probably does so I would like to see a showdown between the combined cartels and Soros. I think that the cartels are the lesser of two evils.
Interdicted!
So “worth” zero dollars.
In fact it’s going to cost the taxpayers to move, store, and dispose of this garbage.
Dealing with the crew will not be expense free either.
I hate lousy sensationalist headlines no matter the source.
Think how easy ISIS or other bad guys can get stuff through.
Just sink the semisubmersible and sail away. No crew, no seizure, no salvage, all gone.
It just vanishes into the Bermuda Triangle. Or the San Diego Triangle, or the Puget Sound Triangle, etc etc.
They’d find another way, but diminishing returns works BOTH ways...
