Sometimes I agree with Rand....attacks on Venezuela boats

[Warpy]

1. Those speed boats aren't the main drug transport

between countries. What theyusually do is head for GPS coordinates of a dropoff point, jettison the cargo with a float with or without a weak radio pinger. Fishing boat or small cargo boat goes to the coordinates, picks up the cargo, and transports it elsewwhere, theoretically arpund the planet Delivery is done the same way, small craft picking up drugs at dropoff coordinates.

I lived on the coast in New England. Once in a blue moon, a drop off would be missed because the Coast Guard had gotten nosy about a suspected picku up boat or a sudden squall had moved it away from where it was supposed to be. Someone who found it onshore and didn't mind taking the risk got rich quick.

So yeah, these are most likely drug runners on their way to coordinates for pickups. Mexico has tightened this shit up a lot and Venezuela is desperate for cash, so it seems plausible that Maduro is in bed with Chinese fentanyl merchants.

The problem is that we don't know any of this for sure because all the evidence is poisoning the fish and all we have is the word of a man who is best known for his lying.

Of course, the problem with boarding one of these things is that they're so small and fast that by the time they're spotted from the air, they're ready to jttison whatever it is they're carrying and head back for the next load. The Navy is going to have to get lucky as hell to catch any of these guys and board them while there is cargo aboard.
