Just wondering, because I haven’t seen an answer anywhere yet, but do we know that there were survivors after the initial strike in question? Maybe, just maybe, the second strike was to finish off the wreckage and send it to the bottom.
I’ve seen that they got back on the boat.
I’m not thrilled with this as an anti-drug operation, they’ll just find another way to get drugs to a market clamoring for them.
I just hope there’s some anti-cartel facet, but I don’t know how well it’ll work.
They care not at all for the people carrying their stuff.
They’re less valuable than the boats and drugs to the cartels.
It seems that, like dictators, there’s at least one ambitious person waiting in the wings to fill the vacuum when the cartel gets broken up, sometimes a contentious thing if there’s more than one.
Yup.
In the cop shows where they ‘Get drugs off the street!’, I’ve never noticed a lack of drugs on the street.
Except when I was in my teens, pot was hard to find every August. I never knew why.
Narco terrorists had become so brazen, they were running drugs openly to the US. Which is a really cheap way to do business.
The US, though interdicting these boats, are telling the cartels the days of having a free pass to run drugs are over, forcing them to change their methods to something which will probably be more costly and time consuming.
Indeed. Days of sending drugs by USPS to the White House addressed to Hunter and Joe are over.
I saw a good analysis of this issue that said that the boats being blown up are are not flying any nation’s flag, so they are considered pirates, and under International Maritime rules there’s no war crime associated with blowing them up.
