    It's not reasonable to believe the strikes would be ordered without sufficient evidence of drug activity. It just isn't. Whether that is deemed legal is a murkier question entirely, but one must stay aligned with one's tribe, right?

    As to repatriating them, I think it better to send them home and spread the word that the easy money train has gone off the tracks.

      Sorry the theory you asked for is wrong. I gave you the correct theory instead.

      Let me try again. What is the theory of the motivation of the Trump admin to be sinking these boats?

      Education is extremely important.

        I have no idea but was charitably granting that their stated reason is the actual reason. I can’t be sure though. There seems to be more going on between the US and Venezuela than meets the eye, hence the thread.

        If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

          Seems reasonable. The message is sent regardless of what happens to the survivors.

            We don't need the expense of incarcerating them here. I rather doubt they'll be engaging in future voyages.

              I think a government can act on intelligence in international drug trafficking matters, that they don't want to process through domestic courts of law, when there's little to nothing to be gained by doing so.

                The theory, which has no intelligent detractors, is that the administration’s position that anyone in these boats is an ‘unlawful combatant’, would not survive contact with a court of law.

                I don't think survival is the point, amirite

                Honestly I'm still surprised Trump didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize.
