1. Wasn’t a drug trafficking vessel, was a fisherman. Another war crime.

2. Hegseth is war criminal. Issue a warrant. Arrest him.

3. This will cure Americas insatiable appetite for drugs.

4. Murdering again. Good Christian guy.

5. And how do we know it was in fact a drug-trafficking vessel? What proof was given??

6. alleged. they give no evidence before murdering them 

7. How do we know it was a drug trafficking vessels

8. Reuters should not say “drug-trafficking vessel” without proof.

9. Capital punishment without due process. Begun world war III has.

10. For those who are out of the loop, this is not the first time, here’s an article from 4 days ago:

    [US kills 14 in strikes on four alleged drug boats in Pacific](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c0ex94eeljeo)

11. US blows up some random boat. Am I supposed to be happy the US is blowing up random boats?

12. This admin just following their idol, war criminal Putin.

    Has there been any international responses condemning this and or calling out these war crimes?

13. Does anyone believe anything this guy says? Has he offered up any evidence to back up the statement that they were trafficking drugs? Or does he expect everyone to just take him at his word?

14. More than 100,000 American drug deaths per year. I don’t care, sink them all. No “impoverished fisherman” is sailing into blue waters in a three-engine speedboat with no fish, no net, and no transponder.

15. Murder. These are murders.

16. surely it can’t be _that_ hard to intercept a single boat and arrest people

17. Pere Hegseth confesses personal involvement in an additional three murders.

18. This is murder.

19. Probably some poor fishermen trying to make a living

20. Have we won the war on drugs yet?

21. I don’t understand why this administration wants to go to war so bad and why they chose Venezuela. Easy target?

22. THIS is how you radicize people. That trigger happy fuck Hegseth is creating more terrorists through his actions.

    Thanks you nazi fuck, just what we need is more terrorists.

23. *drug trafficking vessel* go to hell and eat my shit

24. Prove it was a drug trafficking vessel.

25. So, is killing the answer?!?

26. Anyone who thinks that this has anything to do with drugs is soft in the head. There are ~4x as many Americans addicted to opiates than cocaine, there are ~3x as many overdoses linked to opioids as there are linked to cocaine, and ~75% of overdoses linked to cocaine are also linked to opioids.

    Of the cocaine that does come to the US, the vast majority of it comes from Colombia and doesn’t pass through the Carribbean. Yet the Trump admin has decided to go scorched Earth and break all kinds of domestic and international laws to kill alleged Venezuelan drug traffickers?

    Literally all this is about is starting a conflict with Venezuela/Maduro; Trump does not give one iota of a shit about American drug addicts.

27. get it right, america killed three more people on a boat, with no evidence at all they were running drugs..

28. Whats the difference between murder and state sponsored executions?

29. What’s the point of that? Everyone knows all the drugs are in the Halloween candy.

    /s

30. “U.S. kills three people on boat allegedly trafficking drugs, but no proof has been presented.”

    Shame on U.S. media.

31. Have any of these boats actually been confirmed to be drug smugglers?

32. Innocent until proven guilty. These extra-judicial killings are nothing short of murder. If the people on these boats are trafficking drugs, then they should be arrested and brought up on charges, but blowing them to smithereens isn’t moral.

33. Man these operations could pay a lot of snap benefits
