Add on the fact that the missile strike arguably isn't even legal.
Trump has authority to designate Tren De Aragua a terrorist organization but that designation doesn't give him authority to kill the people on the boat.

They dive into the legality in the beginning of this podcast.

How many times have we heard this story. Lol.

If its sooooo illegal, why isnt he in handcuffs?

Or impeached?

I did some reading, and the fact that Trump designated drug runners as terrorists broadens the legal landscape. 

Is what he did legal?  Who cares.  Are the people running drugs breaking several nations' laws and international law?  Absolutely.

We know for certain when someone is running drugs over the water.  We have many sources of INTEL to make sure we are able to track and intercept them.  The "innocent" boaters always stop their engines and allow the authorities to board their vessel.

i read one article that asked the question:  if we change our tactics from law enforcement (detain and prosecute) to military (stop them by any means necessary), what stops the cartels from militarizing their operations to counter it?

i wish the cartels good luck in finding enough crews willing to risk dying to for way less money than they make for their employers.

so you went and researched further on the missile strike, but didn't research your incorrect statement about the national guard?
got it...

Do you have something to add or just felt like trolling?

Major difference between a search and stopping to investigate.  Cops can investigate the driver and vehicle during a routine traffic stop.  If I take off at 100 mph, is it your opinion that I'm innocent and should not be stopped before I kill a real innocent?

Nobody being targeted with a missile is compliant and allowing a quick inspection -- which is our government's right according to international law.  Using a vehicle search as an analogy is totally irrelevant.  A boat on the high seas is not the same as a car on a highway.  Different set of laws and circumstances.

Due process?  Do you even know what that means?  If you're a cop being threatened by a man with a knife and you kill him, did he receive "due process" prior to being executed?  No, I'm not equating this with the boat interception.  I'm using it to illustrate the meaning of due process in legal terms.

A U.S. warship may only board a foreign private vessel if there is "reasonable ground for suspecting" that the vessel is involved in one of the following activities:
Piracy
The slave trade
Unauthorized broadcasting
The ship is without nationality (stateless)
The ship is, in reality, of the same nationality as the warship, despite flying a foreign flag or refusing to show its flag
If suspicions prove to be unfounded, the vessel must be compensated for any damage or loss it sustained.

not trolling
you had the ROE and roles of the national guard in DC wrong and refuse to admit it
and it was easily checkable...

Who is going to handcuff him? By your logic if there are no cops around to enforce the law, nothing is illegal.

You tell me.  You stated that what he did was "arguably illegal".  Usually when a law is broken, someone is handcuffed when arrested.  Unless he instead willingly turns himself in.  Then I ask, where would he turn himself in at?

I didn't refuse to admit it, I clearly indicated I conflated two different parts of the story.

You say international law allows the US government to stop boats for inspection, where are you getting this from? I did a search and found the below listed limited authority under international law but it doesn't mention drug movement.

The POTUS is not a usually type of situation. If Trump came to Hawaii, drank a soda and threw the can on the ground, what do you think would happen to an HPD officer trying to arrest him for littering?

you admitted you had the timeline wrong
you never admitted you had the roles of the guard wrong...

Is there more to this that you left out?  There is an ethics class at Annapolis and about a US warship stopping a ship full of refugees to render aid.  The point of this was if there is a pregnant woman on board and she gives birth on the US warship, then her child becomes a US citizen. So with the above, would no sailor render aid by boarding the vessel if needed?  What if someone has a medical emergency and cannot board the US warship?  Wouldn't by the examples you posted, the corpsman would be unable to board and render any life saving aid?

We are talking about killing people in a drug boat that you claim is "arguably illegal" and now you're comparing it to  littering.  Thanks for playing.

I never stated what the role of guard would be doing, I was talking about issues that would happen if the guard were used for certain roles.

If someone we heaving a heart attack and up pulls the US Navy offering to help there wouldn't be an issue because the man isn't going to resist help coming aboard, they are going to be adamantly requesting it.

Swoosh!

You said when a law is broken usually someone gets arrested. I pointed out the problem of who is going to step forward and arrest him? Local police? The Secret Service? The Navy?
I was not comparing a missile strike to littering.
