Of course thats all speculation but like many have said, I do not believe I can remember the Navy blowing a suspected drug boat out of the water like that. They usually board them for the big PR picture the next day like what just happened last week with that Coast Guard seizure of cocaine. Plus once you get the smugglers you can interrogate and infiltrate. FatFuck sent a bunch of MS-13 leaders back to Venezuela and to El Salvador. Something is fishy as fuck about this.
