Thoughts About The Navy Destroyer That Boarded The Tuna Boat

Armed men from the Destroyer boarded the tuna boat and detained it in Venezuelan waters for 8 hours, most likely searching for drugs.

Wondering if Krasnov/Whiskey Pete had ordered the destroyer to blow up the tuna boat, it was obviously suspected of carrying drugs, why else would the Navy intercept the boat?

My point; how soon before Krasnov makes that order again to shoot peaceful protesters on US streets? Will the law now be that drug dealers can be shot on the spot? What next, jay walkers?

That's a license to shoot anyone on the spot.

3. 'Trump Goes Full Duterte, Suggests 'Death Penalty' for Drug Dealers'

"The president is in awe of Singapore’s policy of punishing drug traffickers with the death penalty, and has been telling people for months that it’s the reason the country’s drug-consumption levels are so low. 'He says that a lot,' a source said. 'He says, ‘When I ask the prime minister of Singapore do they have a drug problem [the prime minister replies,] ‘No. Death penalty.' Five sources who have spoken with Trump about the issue say he has a habit of declaring drug dealers to be no better than serial killers. 'Trump has said he would love to have a law to execute all drug dealers here in America,' "

From "Just say no" to "Just kill them."
