Interesting.
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.
^she found out...what? That TrumpCo is willing to rough up American Citizens and journalists?
