there have been questions raised about the speedboat hit. if drugs-11 people? no! 2-3 runners 8 people more weight in drugs or fuel. going to US in speed boat? 1300 miles unlikely. going to meet another carrier 1/2 way? more likely IF drugs (or human). going to closest Carib land in a 4 motored outboard? maybe but unlikely. i tend to think human trafficking? seems more likely with 11 people on board. if so,a bad hit. this looks like an optics thing. i have seen many vids of interdicting and arresting Somali pirates. BS no capture. they should be blown away pronto. hate to say it but this just looks like optics BS with some kind of fuck with Maduro thing. the Houthi prob is another but complex int'l nat'l waters issue re Red Sea. looks like we lost that one.
many say and i believe drug supply must be dealt with. but dealing with demand is the big deal. hard ass call but look what Singapore did with their drug problem. not possible here but something to think about.
