U.S. naval forces have sunk a fourth suspected drug boat in the Caribbean, Trump says

Anyone else find it odd that they continue to just blow up boats without providing evidence of narcotics on board meanwhile the single time they boarded a boat to find narcotics it turned out to be fishermen and was a huge embarrassment?

I don’t find it odd. They just blow up fishermen and refugee boats because it destroys the lack of evidence as well
- Or just lie and say you blew up a boat. Bonus in the paycheck, and no one to dispute you.

Weird way to spell extrajudicial execution

I know I’ll get downvoted, but Obama really accelerated this with the cruise missile and drone strikes during his tenure. Yes, yes, Trump is infinitely worse, but Dems handed Trump the tools instead of dismantling them when they had the opportunity.
- It was wrong when Obama was doing it but Obama isn't making the decisions right now. We gotta worry about Donald J Trump and his lackeys right now.
- The current situation is the result of degradation of checks and balances and increasing presidential power since the cold war kicked off. Long time in the making unfortunately.
- This seems a few levels beyond the drone strikes. These boats from my understanding could've been stopped and were no match for the US Navy. Some of those drone targets were in the middle of no where. Here we have the current administration choosing to just murder a bunch of people on a boat while being able to use any number of non lethal solutions.

Suspected? Not even confirmed? Are they even trying to pretend not to just be murderers?

Well yes. They still believe in innocent until proven guilty. They aren’t monsters!

When has "suspected" ever meant it's ok to kill these people? Hell even if they were bringing hundreds of pounds of fentanyl directly to a kindergarten we still wouldn't give them the death penalty for their crimes so what gives the turnip the right to murder these people in international waters?

The American people chose to give him all the power.
- And continue to choose to give him power. Every minute they don't act is another minute he takes more control.
“I have a suspicion therefore the sentence is death” has been the cornerstone of American law enforcement systems for nearly 250 years.

Meanwhile in Venezuela...

Venezuela Announces Capture of Alleged DEA Agent With Massive Drug Shipment

Ah yes cause the pot calling the kettle black is usually the trustworthy one.
Fwiw I don't know who to believe in this one. They're both massive liars.
- Believe no one and be sad about everything lol.

Just a reminder, Rodrigo Duterte is currently in jail in The Hague for crimes against humanity because he was ordering the extrajudicial murder of suspected drug dealers.

There may be a little bit of a scale difference between the two, as abhorable as both situations are.
- There may be a little bit of a scale difference between the two
  For now
Slight difference here; there are laws in the US requiring them to invade the Netherlands and pullout any locked up American from the ICC if that were to happen. Insanity.
- In the US, the President can simply ignore laws and do whatever he wants. According to recent precedent

"suspected drug ship"

Dude, it either is or it isn't and you better damn well be sure before you fuckin blow it up...

What? No even if you're sure the ship is full of drugs you can't just murder everyone on board.
- But it's war!
  -Donald trump

Trump says

Have these killings been confirmed by any reputable sources?

You still have reputable sources left in the US?
- No, obviously we're talking about external journalistic sources.

This must mean that it is totally ok to blow up American boats and kill americans then?

A rich American asshole's superyacht would be a good test subject.
- It would definitely contain large amounts of drugs
Only if you can take on the US military.

Do you think they gave him a button to press? Not even remotely joking.

Probably, but it probably didn't actually do anything they just timed it or something. Make manbaby feel special.
In his first administration, the button on his desk literally summoned Diet Coke.

More murder from us imperialists.

We're waiting on actual evidence of even one of these boats having anything to do with drugs

Better yet, I'm waiting for evidence that ALL of these boats had anything to do with drugs and that you didn't just randomly murder a bunch of innocent citizens for political points.

Maybe these are just boats full of the missing people from Alligator Auschwitz and they're using this as a ploy to cover it up?

They have no need to cover it up. Those people can disappear and then when they're challenged about it (assuming any journalists with an ounce of balls are allowed to ever ask another question) they'll just respond "They were undocumented, so they disappeared. What of it?"

Donald Trump murdering foreign civilians for having the gall to travel within international waters. I suppose he considers that small potatoes compared to insurrection and child rape.

I think it's a very bad moment to go vacationing or fishing in the Caribbean right now with these pirates just randomly sinking random boats

I'm gonna go ahead and call this a false flag operation. until I see indisputable evidence of drugs then im gonna call bull shit
