if this actually did happen it is an international crime.

u.s. coastguard has been using force to detain vessels crew, and passengers for quite sometime, by hitting the vessels engines, and boarding the vessel.

you see not everyone is always narco, the feasibility of a vessel operator not knowing drugs are present is there. the possibility of persons having no involvement, or knowledge of drugs is a large one.

refugees, migrants, and trafficked persons would be witnesses, not co-conspirators.

a military naval group, attacking unmilitarized vessels in international water is a big deal, as in maybe a joint forces operation would detain and prosecute a sitting U.S. president, if this actually did happen.

This is the norm for the next few years.
This is a big win for China. Standards of Justice have moved tremendously in open seas.

Whether drugs or information, you don’t want to be on the wrong side of this!

> When all is said and done, demand a foreign policy that protects Americans and respects the line between war and policing. Demand leadership that values the Constitution at home and credibility abroad.

From whom? The US is entering a post law reality.

I wonder if its just tRump is more blatantly obvious about flexing American power?

What i mean is America has always done what it wants, its just that before tRump they tried to cloak it to maintain the illusion they were "the good guys".
