None of the alleged drug boats that were destroyed recently by the US Navy in the Caribbean or Western Pacific had anywhere near enough fuel capacity to have reached the United States.

The United States stands at the brink of one of the most productive eras in cancer research.
Decades of steady federal investment have driven survival rates up from 49% in the 1970s to nearly 70% today. Breakthrough vaccines, targeted therapies, and less toxic treatments are finally within reach.

WH has struck another vessel, killing three in Intl. waters, claiming it was transporting illegal drugs to the U.S.
If the U.S. can blow up boats in Intl. waters claiming they “might” be drug traffickers, then other nations (China, Russia..) could claim the same to attack vessels they don’t like.
