“If you're on a boat full of cocaine or fentanyl or whatever, headed to the United States, you're an immediate threat to the United States,” said U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio last week. So it’s perfectly reasonable for the U.S. armed forces to kill everybody on that boat (including a ‘double tap’ on any survivors in the water).
That’s a good place to start unravelling what the Trump administration is really up to, because it is literally impossible for a motorboat off the coast of Venezuela to be heading to the United States. All 22 boats destroyed and all 87 people killed by U.S. missiles were going somewhere, or more likely many different places, but the United States was not one of them.
