General Discussion

beginning was supposed to be a "ship", rather than to stop it, take prisoners and get information.

This was planned from the get go for Rubio, trump, and the GOP to claim "bravery" in stopping a "narcotics" shipment from Venezuela.

I have a suspicion they killed innocent people who did not have any drugs with them, but the execution was such that its impossible to prove they were actually trying to bring narcotics to the USA.

Lets start with the assumption that in fact there were drugs on the boat. To believe that the BIG druglords were on that ship is ludicrous, they never go on a little boat, they never distribute the drugs themselves, so it is paramount to stop the boat, take prisoners, and get information about the big people who, one would assume, is the type of information they would want to know.

I have never understood how a person can kill another person, and how politicians get away with murdering people for a chance to create a narrative they think will help them politically, also how can people follow orders they know are criminal knowing that once they obey them they will also become criminals. You don't need to pull the trigger to become an accomplice to murder, and the planners are murderers.

Vincent Buglioni put Charles Manson in jail for the rest of his life, Mason did not physically killed anyone, but he was the mastermind, and thus found guilty of murder.

"but President Trump chose instead to destroy it to send a deterrent message to traffickers."...so who is the murderer here?

What a World we live in.
