"Intelligence confirmed that the vessels were transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in narco-trafficking,” US Southern Command said in a post on X.

So the US is killing people for sailing specific routes? This shit is so deeply wrong and criminal.

Even if they were live streaming that they were smuggling drugs with their exact location, the US doesn't get to play judge jury and executioner in international waters.

Grammar Nazi here, the word you are looking for is MURDERED.

Can't be that much of a Nazi if you're calling this murder rather than "self defence"

Please do something about it. Kill specifically their asses, make it so uncomfortable for them to sit down!

The US Navy knows exactly what narcos look like and their typical routes. I'm sure they were running drugs, but this is still murder.

You say that with a level of confidence that I don't think is warranted. If there is so much certainty that these people were running drugs, why is evidence of it never released?

Just because they know what narcos look like¹ doesn't mean that's what these are.
