He isn’t “misidentifying” any one. He’s targeting random boats that sail out of Venezuela and blowing them to high hell while calling them terrorists as an excuse. There hasn’t been any attempt to identify anyone.
I’m sure they’ve incidentally murdered one or two people that were somewhat involved with the drug trade at some point in their lives, but all evidence we’ve seen so far is that they’ve murdered what… 30+ innocent citizens of foreign countries on the high seas like a bunch of mad dog terrorists?
There needs to be trials and harsh sentencing for this behavior, nobody’s ever going to trust our military or leadership again.

And people are fine with these people being murdered with no due process.

I’m shocked. You mean the U.S. military classified a noncombatant foreign civilian as a combatant enemy? That’s insane, there’s no precedence for this in all of American history

I don’t care if the boats have a cargo hold full of cocaine…. blowing these people up is murder.

Misidentified? You mean Ordered the Murder.

Imagine if you will any other country doing this. You have a small fishing boat or pleasure craft or whatever out in the gulf and get fucking creamed by a cruise missile from Mexico because they thought you had drugs. This would be an act of war if any other country did this.

What’s memorable (like, ‘remember when you ordered that attack on citizens you deemed narco-terrorists with no proof that turned out to be innocent fishermen? Please, speak into the microphone for this criminal hearing’) is that this administration has provided absolutely zero information about any single person on any single one of these boats. Nothing to anyone- not even Congress.
If we ever put down this regime, I will feel better when all of these people are tried and put in prison (or worse). Because that’s what you do to murderers, and let’s call this what it is: murder.

This habit we have of sticking our nose in everyone’s business and killing indiscriminately is exactly the sort of thing that produces REAL terrorists. Unfortunately, there is typically such a long wait between cause and effect that Americans are too slow-witted to make the connection.

They’re just going to keep appending terrorist to any group that they want. Eventually we’ll end up at Kinderterrorist and civilization will end.

They’re just playing target practice with their weapons before they turn them inward towards Americans.

Serious question, why isn’t the UN getting involved in this? The US’s foreign policy is becoming as erratic as North Korea’s. China and European nations have the perfect opportunity to get everyone on board against this.

“Misidentified” … ok. Just a minor mistake, not a big deal just led to some light murder. The media is wild.

How long until “caravans” start getting “misidentified” and get smoked by drones?

So when the Houthis attack ships they get bombs but when Trump does Vance gets to make jokey threats to all south American fishermen.
Give me Hegseth in handcuffs, and let me laugh as Fox News covers his arrest and trial. I cannot imagine a more fitting ending to a Fox News weekend host who thought he was a badass having to perp walk on his old network that he thought he’d be going back to.
I’m “nearly there” just thinking about it.

Wtf is a narcoterrorist? Even if media puts that term in quotes, it doesn’t do anything but legitamize a made up word. They should stop using it.

This would and should have been an administration-ending scandal in any other timeline. Regardless, the US continues to sink to new lows every single day – multiple times a day, actually.

What authority do we have to blow these boats up in S. America? Even if they are cocaine boats (of which I have seen no proof), what is America doing policing the waters around Venezuela and Colombia?!
It makes no sense and isn’t helping anyone with anything. It’s just an excuse to shoot people or maybe training for when they forcibly assault US citizens.

What if other countries began targeting American boats over suspected drug trafficking? Would Trump be fine with that as well?

Yeah, he does that. Being all stupid and stuff.
