I've been asked a question by a Conservative friend who thinks that the Trump administration is simply destroying boats in international waters without knowing for sure that they are indeed drug boats. He doesn't have a great understanding of the military or intelligence-gathering abilities we have in the US.
I suspect that these boats are identified through a combination of HUMINT (people on the ground), satellite and drone monitoring, use of FLIR imaging, and interception of communications by the drug lords... but I can't prove any of this.
Anyone here know how we know that these boats are narco-shipments and not innocent fishermen or pleasure craft?
In one way yes, treasonous is the second part of it, because they dont care one whit that the drugs come back into the country, they just see it as a tool to get funding.
Exactly, until enters DJT and Co.
