kyzr ... the influx of fentanyl produced in Mexico, with Chinese precursor components is our number one killer of our friends and family. Cocaine deaths were less than 5000 a year consistently prior to the fentanyl trafficking increase and has doubled, tripled and four folded plus since around 2013. When deaths are researched, it says these huge cocaine death increases come from a COMBINED cocaine mixed with Fentanyl use....the fentanyl is the cause of the increase in cocaine deaths....
Also, when researched...most of the Cocaine run to the Caribbean Islands is to service ALL OF EUROPE'S illegal Cocaine trade, not the USA'S, which mostly comes through the Pacific Corridor in to Mexico, in to us through legal ports of entries, (which I personally think more Custom agents and latest X-Ray type technology would be money well spent).
So my first question is why are we not going after the culprit...fentanyl drug trafficking in to the USA when THAT would be a better use of our Tax payer monies to more effectively and efficiently attack our drug use crisis in the USA causing all the deaths?
And absolutely NO!!!! On blowing up the drug boats with many hard on their luck locals sought out and enticed by $500 bucks or more doing a one time run to 7 mile away Trinidad, to feed and house their families for two months. Read below article.

Why not do what our Coast Guard does best and has been extremely successful at this past year...board the boats and imprison the traffickers and bring them to trial in the US or international courts? Interrogate the organizer ship captain etc for bigger leads on the drug trafficking operation?
Instead your pushing the KILLING without due process, for a criminal offense, which is a very slippery slope and it forces Americans and our Military to be judge, jury and executioners, when a good deal of us struggle with this not following, Thou shall not kill, and an eye for an eye, and needing two witnesses.
