Coast Guard SNIPER Just UNLEASHED on Drug Boat

About this video

Max analyzes recent U.S. military and Coast Guard operations against drug trafficking vessels, comparing a Department of Defense lethal strike on December 4th (which Max says targeted individuals identified as narco-terrorists) with a Coast Guard non-lethal interdiction on December 6th that disabled a boat and seized $300 million in cocaine. Max explains that different legal authorities apply: the military operates under rules of engagement for designated terrorist organizations, while the Coast Guard conducts law enforcement operations focused on capture and prosecution. Max acknowledges ongoing congressional debate about the legality of these operations but argues the key issue is whether lawmakers agree with the specific rules of engagement being applied.

Key takeaways

• Max distinguishes between Department of Defense ‘boat strikes’ (which he says use lethal force under anti-terrorism authorities) and Coast Guard interdictions (which use disabling fire under law enforcement authorities).
• Max states that cartels have been designated as narco-terrorist organizations, which he argues changes the applicable rules of engagement and legal framework from criminal law enforcement to wartime authority.
• Max describes how the Coast Guard sniper disabled a vessel’s motor with a .50 caliber rifle, leading to the seizure of over 20,000 lbs of cocaine—the largest Coast Guard bust in 18 years, according to Max.
• Max claims intelligence platforms like the P-8 Poseidon use advanced facial recognition and surveillance capabilities to identify cartel members before strikes occur.
