A crucial point here: there is a word for “just killing people” you are not at war with and without (the still barbaric) authority of a execution following conviction and sentencing for a capital crime. That word is murder. Even if every one of these boats was laden with drugs bound for the US and everyone on board was involved (preposterous hypotheticals), murdering them in international waters would still be a heinous crime.

It also feels important to name that as the world becomes multipolar and the US increasingly has to recognize China's growing position, there is a need for Empire to strengthen it's hemispheric dominance. The bully cannot pick on someone it's own size
