So, bombing civilian boats rather than intercepting them, then bombing the survivors, is not what it looks it is. Would you like to explain what it is?
If another country wants to use its navy and sail to South America and spend money intercepting these folks to stop criminal behavior, that would be great. Less of my tax dollars being used. Otherwise it seems to me we can take care of the problem ourselves as we see fit. No different than drone strikes under the Obama administration. Some of course see an issue with both, but I don't.
Wait, I might be a bit out of the loop here, but are you saying that "double tapping" boats loaded with victims of human trafficking is "stopping criminal behavior"?
Why are you over-indexing on whether the US allegedly killed people being trafficked? Why would that thought even come to your mind? Can you share a news article or something?
And no, I did not claim that people were being smuggled on boats.
But if you don’t like how the US is handling it please let us know your proposed solution and which non-US countries will interdict these boats and stop their activities (and of course on land too).

> Sure. Drug and human traffickers don't operate military boats?
So you brought the "human traffickers" claim into the discussion. That's why I'm asking.
Or you can have your drug traffickers under your command operate your boat while you the drug and human trafficker hand off the drugs and drive the people around.
You’re looking for a gotcha but it’s just a waste of time here.
Anyway what’s your plan for other nations to solve this problem? Who will be interdicting these civilian boats used for drug smuggling? If they are using the boats for human trafficking how will you approach the situation? What if they threaten to kill the hostages? Will the EU navy be taking care of this problem at their expense?
