What part of the South Pacific isn’t in America was unclear to you. No evidence has been before a judge or a jury.

You're a bot most likely but I'll bite. Where is the line on who they are allowed to kill without a trial?  Insurance fraud? Watching an illegal sports stream or movie?  Jaywalking?  Once it is established that killing a suspect without proving guilt has been established, it's a slippery slope until you can be killed for anything.

Do you have any disagreement with my comment or just don't like the fact that I have a new account? Because I'm not really sure how someone could look at this as a purposeful distraction from Iran when the US has been doing it for months now. 50 strikes thus far according to the article.

Sure thing. Suddenly restarting the controversial attacks on random boats then posting the footage to twitter can’t be a distraction! This was a totally just a coincidence and not a distraction from Operation Epstein Distraction. Thanks again for your valuable input.

Brilliant_Pin7484 5 days ago -5
Wait is this a distraction from Epstein or Iran or both? You and OP seem to have different opinions here. Regardless, this isn't really a sudden restart. There's been 50 of them according to NBC. And again, do you have any evidence or reason behind this? Because as far as I can tell the only reason seems to be... well actually I don't think you've given much of one. Your reasons are that it was a sudden restart, which is outright false, and that it's controversial. That seems to be true according to yougov, mostly along party lines, but I'm not sure how it's a reason at all. Pretty much any action in current US politics is controversial along party lines. https://yougov.com/en-us/articles/53700-two-thirds-americans-say-drug-smuggling-big-problem-divided-on-boat-attacks-december-5-8-2025-economist-yougov-poll

This is a sudden restart. >Your reasons are that it was a sudden restart, which is outright false It’s a sudden restart. >Pretty much any action in current US politics is controversial along party lines. So let’s have a little dip test of your opinions rather than some random poll. Do you think trump directing the navy to strike random boats, killing the people inside them, without due process or any attempt at arrest then post the footage to Twitter is a good thing or a bad thing? I’d genuinely like to hear your unfiltered opinion on the US president murdering people.

“Flood the zone” worked during his first term and it’s working again. If everything’s a scandal, none of the scandals get enough attention to matter. The only swing voter support he’ll likely lose is due to gas prices, which will likely climb even higher if this blockade fiasco escalates. MAGA are numb to everything else, even praising Allah on Easter (I know that Allah is Arabic for God, but MAGA always claimed to not know that, and now they suddenly figured it out).

> The ICC… they could absolutely issue arrest warrants. The ICC is opt-in. They only have jurisdiction when either the victim or the perpetrator is a signatory state or the act happened in the territory of a signatory state. The US isn't a signatory and it's not clear what flag these vessels were flying, if any, that might lead to a plausible claim of territorial jurisdiction. > Enforcement is another matter US law actually authorizes the use of force to prevent a US national from being held to answer for any war crime they commit.

Was it war crimes when Obama struck militants in Libya and ISIL in Syria? There was no trial there either, no congressional approval etc.The cartels have been officially designated terrorist organizations by the US government, no different from ISIL... so legally speaking blowing up a cartel drug boat is no different than blowing up an ISIL truck in Syria. You are free to disagree with the morality of it, but it is legal and well supported by endless precedent throughout decades of US history of striking terrorist and guerilla militant camps in other countries with no trial etc. The argument should be whether or not cartels should be designated terrorist organizations in the first place rather than just criminal organizations, but the historical precedent supporting the legality of military strikes on government designated *terrorist* targets is extensive.

Sure. Are you gonna bomb a cruiseship, because there is a couple smuggling cocaine in their suitcases? You call them drug boats, while the US coast guard says that atleast 25% never had any drugs in them. Instead of using f****** bombs worth more than a couple of salarys, maybe use a f****** boat to stop them, like all noble humans on earth. This degenerate shit is disgusting, honorless and as progressive as the people from 1500 ad.

they're crimes against humanity, for it to be a war crime...there sort of needs to be an actual war involved, the geneva conventions are only relevant between two groups of armed combatants who are signatories to it. the ICC which prosecutes crimes against humanity has no juristiction in the US so it's really only US military law they are worried about.

I’m sorry but that’s factually incorrect on multiple fronts. When there were drone strikes there was congressional and UN authorization in many instances allowing for the use of force. Here, Kegseth and others have just decided anyone in a boat is a “narco terrorist” whatever that means. You can’t just call anyone you don’t like a terrorist and murder them.

To date, the Trump administration has acknowledged at least 33 strikes against boats suspected of transporting narcotics, killing at least 110 people. Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth have cited intelligence that they claim proves the boats were involved in narcoterrorism or transporting narcotics to the U.S. They've at times said that the people on board were affiliated with specific criminal organizations. They have not publicly offered evidence to support their claims. [Here](https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/all-the-u-s-military-strikes-against-alleged-drug-boats)

If you are truly looking to be civil, when it comes to the matter of our, or any government killing anyone. The questions should always be where is the proof those people are guilty and not the other way around. Imagine if a loved one of yours was killed by the police, who would be more right, you to questions why the police thought they were guilty, or the police to question you why you think they are innocent?

I mean if my federal government is convinced that someone is trafficking mass amounts of drugs into my country, and claims to have proof, I would trust my government unless given hard evidence to counter their claims. You’d trust alleged drug traffickers over your own government? You’re living in the wrong country then my friend.

If there’s proof then why haven’t they shared it? If the government is not required to share such proof what stops them from just claiming proof even if they don’t have it. These are all questions you must ask as fully trusting any government, even one you like, is extremely dangerous. Whether R or D it has been shown over the past many decades our government is full of bad actors taking advantage of us. If you love your country then do as your fore fathers wanted and question everything, take nothing at face value, and demand our government be held accountable no matter who they are, same side or not.

Good point about the past, but let me ask you something: genuinely why do you think they would bomb innocent people? For what reason?

Let’s just say they were drug smugglers, do they still deserve to die without some form of due process? If so then ask yourself this, if every American who also smuggles drugs, or even sells drugs on any level. Do they deserve to die without a trial?

I think anyone trafficking illegal drugs is asking to die and I wouldn’t feel any bit bad about it if they did. In terms of killing them with no evidence, I agree with you.
