I saw the video, you can see the fishing rods.

This wouldn't justify extrajudicially killing a foreign citizen, but if I was running drugs I'd make my vessel look like a fishing boat.

A non-moving fishing boat?

Why risk your own personnel? Just pay off the right people in the Trump administration and a US military aircraft will hand deliver the drugs for you into the USA.

It's not hard for a drug smuggling boat to put up fishing rods but I'm still very suspicious about this
