[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did Trump have concrete, 100% proof that this boat was smuggling drugs?

It's amazing how US citizens just believe everything they hear and are OK with killings when it's done to foreigners.[/quote]

This. I guess everyone is okay with summary executions and war crimes now. It starts with brown people. Eventually they will come for you too. [/quote]

Drug smuggling is bad. NArcoterrorism is bad. Pretty sure blowing up ships from sovereign countries and imposing the death penalty on them is also pretty, pretty bad.[/quote]

Agreed. We are quite reasonably questioning the veracity of any reports that come out of this administration.  The administration that lies about everything. What if they made a mistake, a quite legitimate concern with an idiot like our current Sec of Def, and killed people who weren't drug smugglers.  But with them in charge and their constant assault on an independent media, the chances that we will know what really happened in cases like this are small.

This should horrify anyone.[/quote]

Even if they were doing exactly what the administration says they were, the standard protocol would be to board the ship and arrest the crew, not launch a missile at a bunch of civilians, criminal or otherwise. We don't execute people without trial. [/quote]
