    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?

    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.

            No i mean the fuckers out there floating around looking for people to blow up. Trump probably set some insane quota not based in reality. These guys can just make shit up to make him happy.

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

        No, obviously we’re talking about external journalistic sources.

          They don’t go there cause they will be sunk and then declared drug traffickers after the fact.
