is the key word.

Allegedly, these were drug traffickers.

Allegedly, they had drugs on the boat.

Allegedly... without any evidence whatsoever.

Even IF they were drug traffickers, the prudent thing to do would be to intercept them on the water... NOT from the sky... to seize them, the boat, the drugs, and the EVIDENCE... to then justify and better go after the larger network of these so-called "narco-terrorists."

That isn't what the objective was or is, though. Trump just pardoned a convicted drug terrorist/dealer.

I suspect the objective is to instill fear and terror in both Americans AND Venezuelans... WHY? Because our government is being run by terrorists and crooks right now. AND... because Venezuela happens to have a very large supply of OIL.
