    I’m 1000% convinced they are just blowing random boats up JUST so they can tell maga retards “see how much we’re doing to keep drugs out of the country”

      I’m sure it’s also to threaten the legitimate government into acquiescence and potentially lay the groundwork for a potential war on “terror”

      If they were really sure they were trafficking drugs, they could also just seize the boats rather than blowing them up. I think there’s a good reason they’re not doing that.

        No, no, no.

        The “evidence” for the “crimes” committed by those on the boat having been either incinerated or blown into a million tiny pieces and sunken to the bottom of the ocean is just an “unfortunate” side-effect.

      and distract from the fact the border isnt really being patrolled because the cbp is helping out ICE, allowing cocaine to flow into the us unabated.
