That's a different discussion, because this is the killing of foreign nationals in international waters without judicial supervision.

If you are OK with that, then, you are, basically, OK with everything.

The waters are not near our coasts, no. Venezuela is the opposite side of the Caribbean Sea...

Even if we accept all are guilty based on nothing killing 66 smugglers isn't going to meaningfully reduce harm or even the drug supply. You are arguing for abandoning the rule of law and inevitable unjustifiable murder when mistakes are made for... nothing

It is almost certainly deterring many more than the 66 who were aggressively deterred.

Would you extend this to all other crimes that cause a lot of societal damage?
