The intelligence used for the strikes are not shared with you. Your assumption here is that these strikes are baseless, but you don't know this.

There's no way to know, because no attempt was made at interdiction.

If these are really narco-terrorists, then some evidence should be released justifying their execution on the high seas.

Some evidence has been shared with the public, and the administration has lied about it.

Here are the videos he's referring to, let me know if you see any bags of fentanyl: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1151367989097..., https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1152335554451..., https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1153737518118..., https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/1153966324414...

Beyond this administration, the US government has a documented history of lying about the justification for military action. When people are being killed it is irresponsible to assume, with no evidence, that they are telling the truth this time.

I am not assuming the strikes are baseless, I am stating that there is no evidence for any basis, so discussing if they might be justified if some hypothetical evidence existed is pointless.

Last video is literally a semi-submarine. Do you think they were on a marine fauna tour?

We've actually had multiple high profile intelligence leaks by the current admin because it's full of absolute idiots, and the leaks would indicate that they're about as smart as your average user on Twitter. Frankly if anyone believes their strikes have any sort of valid basis with all the leaks that have gone out then I would question their critical thinking ability.

You're kind of talking to yourself as well.
