    Yeah, no shit Sherlock. There are more illegal drugs on a billionaire’s yacht than a 25 foot Boston Whaler.

      This is the wrong approach imo. It doesn’t matter whether there were drugs on those boats or not (there were, those were obviously drug boats and there was much more cocaine on them than on a billionaire’s yacht) the problem here is the collapse of international law and the USA for the umpteenth time committing acts of aggression in foreign countries, trying to start a war. Even if the US grants itself power of World Police, there is a protocol for drug arrests and it is not blowing them out of the water. That is fascism, the logical conclusion of the neoliberal principle of expediency.

        How did you arrive at that conclusion? Specifically the conclusion about what was on those boats.
