A record 9 tonnes of cocaine is seized from a ‘narco-sub’ by Portuguese police.

Portuguese police have made a record seizure of almost nine tonnes of cocaine after intercepting a “narco-sub” off the Azores carrying what is thought to be the largest shipment of the drug ever found on one of the Europe-bound, semi-submersible vessels.

Third narco sub found in Solomon Islands, as cocaine and meth trafficking comes to the Pacific

Translation:

'I'm angry that I'm gonna get arrested for violating a #SeaBlockade that I publicly announced to violate and I was unwilling to actually get a #Narcosub and now I'm chasing clout.'

Bruh, this whole #shitshow is embarrassing and the literal Definition of Insanity, cuz let's ve real:

  • When was the last time any #ship was able to reach #Gaza without explicit permission by #Israel?

  • Did you guys seriously expected not to get boarded and forced to steer into #Ashdod Naval Base??

  • Are you just some rich white folks who'd rather chase clout and waste thousands if not millions on a mission destined to fail???

Like seriously, it would've been cheaoer and easier to wait just outside the blocked area and lauch a shitload of "narco topedoes" (or just regular torpedoes with their explosives replaced with aid as payload) and those would've at least had a chance to get beached on Gaza, found and opened up.

  • And that's not even talking about the trivilaity to build what's basically RC-/preprogrammed mini-subs and the like. They don't even need to like dive. Just a simple plastic water pipe, some rc boat propeller and a battery with current limiter to launch these.

If you guys timed it right at night and launched them at sufficient speed and numbers even the best trained Israeli Marines would not be able to intercept them (unless they are directly at the beach front!)

  • Pretty shure the fuel cost alone for that flotilla would've ROI'd a "Narcosub" easily if not more...

Either case, folks who think it's funny and cool to try to violate a #sea #blockade with neither means nor training nor equipment nor will to do so should really start #TouchingGrass cuz their ideas are "smooth-brained" af…

@lulu I doubt this to be of necessity, after all, Israeli Navy is well equipped and has always stopped any incursions at gunpoint.

Personally, I'd rather expect something like a small pack of C4 to blow a hole into the ship once at sea. Somewhere close to the engine so that abandoning ship will be unavoidable. Propably just far enough that one cannot tow the boat back but close enough to enshure SAR csn pick up survivors with ease.

  • So yeah, I hope the crews have divers and can check their hulls regularly. To worst case someone could just chug' a grenade into the engine compartment to get the same results.

I sincerely hope none of that happens, but I doubt that anything but foreseeable consequences will come out of it (i.e. Israeli Marines board the vessels and force the crew at gunpoint into Ashdod Naval Base, seizing the ships and their cargo whilst jailing everyone found on board until deportation has been arranged.

  • After all, no surface ship was recorded reaching Port Gaza against the will of the Israeli Navy / Government since at least 25 years.

@vega I see this as a waste of time since everyone knows what's gonna happen to unarmed civilian surface vessels.

  • Also martyr fetishization aka. suicidal ideation is cringe af.

The only way they'd succeed is with a #Narcosub, which they don't have...

@Miro_Collas I sincerely doubt that they succeed.

  • No unarmed surface vessel has made it through - they all get non-consensually boraded my Israeli Marines and redirected to Tel Aviv harbour at gunpoint.

WHY SHOULD IT BE DIFFERENT THIS TIME?

Either get a #NarcoSub or don't even bother to waste tons of fuel!

Unbemanntes Schmuggel-U-Boot mit Starlink

Die kolumbianische Marine hat ein unbemanntes U-Boot beschlagnahmt, das mutmaßlich Drogen schmuggeln sollte. Vernetzt war es per Starlink.

@Lazarou Either way that whole "#FreedomFlotillia" shitshow is just absurd.

TLDR: Someone decided to do "#SomeRandomShit!" and I #rant about that:

  • None of these attempts ever succeeded for very obvious reasons.

  • The amount of aid they had was negligible.

  • None of them thought beyond entering the restricted waters.

  • If they wanted to just get arrested for trespassing a military area, the could've just flown to Israel and trespassed on any army or navy installation. Would've gotten them the same effect for much cheaper.

  • If they wanted to launch aid, they could've just mortar'd it across the border from Egypt: Would've more likely gotten something over there rather than none.

I don't deny the situation in #Gaza - far from it, but if anyone things they can just sail in there and not expect to get boarded, then they are criminally stupid.

  • That's even less likely to succeed than trying to free GITMO inmates, cuz there is at least a right-of-passage waterway going through Guantanamo Bay...

They would've succeeded with a #Narcosub, but that would've failed the "#optics" and those are "Doing some Random Shit to pretend being noble!"

  • Seriously, this is as stupid as paintballing cop cars and then complaining why one gets arrested.

Doesn't mean I think the sea blockade is absurd and inhumane, but given the fact #Hamas rules Gaza like a #NarcoState and literally ripped apart plastic drinking water pipes just to build rockets, it's obvious they are crafty.

Obviously there's no incentive nor penalty existing to force a peaceful ending. And #Hamas are obviously making good profit rentseeking the population. That's why the leadership is propably chilling in a heated wirlpool in an air-conditioned apartment in Doha. The only reason those are breathing is because Netanyahu wants and needs them as "#ControlledOpposition"...

At least AFAICT this time the "FreedomFlotilla" aka. one dingy boat [ #Madleen ] with some weirdos on board had the wisdom to obey the orders when it was obvious the #ISC was about to board them to put on life jackets and sit on deck with their hands up.

  • A previous "flotilla" from #Turkey resulted in at least one dead cuz someone had the stupid idea to resist and faced some marine in full tactical drip that pulled the trigger.
