12. There's so much wrong with what we're doing there.

These boats are island hoppers, not deep ocean going vessels. They could be delivering goods to those islands, or even to a different town on the coast.
We're killing these people and destroying their boats without any real evidence of drug trafficking. Technically they're not war crimes since we aren't at war, but we are in violation of International Law.
These attacks are acts of moral depravity; political theater for the MAGAts back home. The provocations are at best misdirection from our equally depraved immigration policy, and, of course, a distraction from the ever deepening Epstein scandal.
We are destroying our nation's standing with the rest of the world, while running the risk of a shooting war with Venezuela.
At the same time, Trump pardons a big time drug lord!
It's evident this isn't about drugs at all.
