Not only is it completely unlawful and a criminal violation of international law being undertaken by our military by bombing small boats to smithereens and killing the occupants, but it is truly inhumane.

Another small speed boat was just destroyed, killing all occupants making 60 plus such deaths in three months without following legal procedure.

However, Bloomberg Radio News stated before these recent open sea bombing attacks, similar boats were captured, boarded and searched based on the same intelligence. According to a 2024 U.S. Coast Guard report, 27% of those boats had no illegal drugs aboard.

If these actions killed only one innocent fisherman, it cannot be repaired or justified.
