Very unrelated, but I do not mingle in politics. It is a sterile topic. I have my opinions but I also do not like to think there is any hope any foreign country is going to help get the people stuck at the government put of the place. So I do not even like to think about it too much.
Understandable. Here in the US, we have the illusion of representation, but we have no real power to break away from the two-party system or the entrenched cancerous bureaucracy which persists no matter who is presented as the figurehead.
Do people there tend to believe the boats were all drug runners, or have fishermen and other innocents been confirmed as victims? There is considerable skepticism here of Trump's claims, especially with the total disregard for due process and jurisdiction.
We could not tell. There must be some traffic among boats, but they could also be just fishermen. Maybe they were both. In here, things are always half-truths when related to the government and what happens. So it could be everything and nothing at the same time.
It is unfortunate, but not unexpected, that there is no more clarity for you locally than we have here far away.
Yeah, it is hard to find out the truth when the government works in favor of obscuring everything and using everything for its narrative.
