There has been ZERO evidence presented so far these boats were smuggling drugs. Far better would be to capture the boats, and if they dump drugs overboard, film them doing it. Then put them on trial or demand Venezuela do so.
But with rushing to the execution phase of the no-trial, things look suspiciously along the lines of a "Marco Polo Bridge," manufacturing a crisis in order to distract the gullible USA voters by a "needed intervention" with the military.
There is also the matter of killing foreign nationals who are obviously not enemy combatants, which (looking) why YES, is a war crime, and against the Geneva convention.
let him do it! That may be finally the red line of law-breaking America needs to storm the White House and throw out the criminal and traitor Donald Trump.
The GOP cowards in the Senate and House refuse ot act. Americans themselves must take up the slack.
