6. These boats aren't "off Miami," they're off the coast of Venezuela, 1500 miles away from Florida, and we're not at war.

And the U.S. Coast Guard or Navy doesn't blow up suspected drug boats "off Miami," whether they're in international or U.S. waters, they stop, board and inspect the vessels for contraband. So, according to U.S. law, 100% of these people are innocent since we have no jurisdiction in the matter. There is no "wisdom or legality" to question here...Trump is a murderous thug.
