We elect a president who has access to classified intelligence to make these kinds of judgements against foreign adversaries,

You've elected a President that disregards all norms unless they help him, and has contempt for those who do follow the norms. There isn't an emergency with Venezuela, no threat to any Americans, and the emergency on human rights allows only sanctions. However, blowing up boats with people we don't on them is a human rights violation, so what does that make us? Petro has stated the Colombian was stopped in the ocean, sending a distress signal with his engine raised up when we blew him up. Do we have anything that shows that is unlikely?

It would be nice to show some drugs. If we know where they are enough to blow them up, then why can't we stop a couple and show the drugs? Mkae it more believable. You leave us wide open to criticism and being called murderers, and just think how much you could pwn the libs if you did that.
