I think we are up to 23 bombed.

Yet, the narco drug lords keep sending them out on these suicide missions.

The only thing that I can summize is:

A) For everyone we destroy, others are escaping without being destroyed

Or

B) They have a suicide wish.

Just let one go and trace it to port. Blow up departing port and blow up arrival port.

Id guess A as well. Or they could even be a decoy while they are moving major tonnage elsewhere.

It's A and B. The cartels don't care about the low level mules operating these boats losing their lives and the mules probably don't have a choice.
Losing a boat and cargo every few days is just the cost of doing business and the boats that do get through more than cover that cost

Anyone who has taken econ in college should be able to understand why.

its the demand, its lucrative, you will always have new suppliers. The more lucrative it is, the more risks people will take.

Supposedly some dude, who they can not find now, sold a couple of pallets of "Stealth Paint" to the cartel.

Good question. I would have assumed with all the insane tech available now, especially to the gov, that they’re aware of even a 14’ john boat out in the open waters. The same way we do with the skies

Because they think we're really going to frick up and be forced to stop. Wait for the human shields on the boats

Cocaine should be easy to shut down. They have to grow the plants. Spot them on satellite and napalm the fields. There are so many vulnerable points in the distribution process it should be easy to shut it all down, if they truly wish to.Same thing with Poppies. Same thing with weed for that matter.

It should be so easy to truly strangle the drug trade it makes you wonder do they really want to.

I have a question though. There is all the Democratic outrage in the media as we blow up the boats. But does Venezuela actually complain? I at least don't hear much about that?

Because no one really cares about fighting cocaine. Probably most of DC is on the stuff.

Its not the problem we have here.

They're too busy to complain. They all have to find places that will harbor fugitive narco-terrorists

I have a question about why the whiners about the drug boats never talk about the turning away of Russian tankers by US destroyers?
