It pretty clearly is for fun since the US has the capability to disable and board these vessels.

Yep, this is clearly what is stupid about the situation. They want to blow the boats up. Now, if I wanted to do it, I'd blow some up, then disable some and show how they were loaded with drugs and we never got the boats wrong.

In this case, I don't think they care what's on the boats.

Oh, you mean business as usual for decades, that changes nothing.

Yeah, turns out that only a very small fraction of drugs entering the US transit the Caribbean, so no amount of effort interdicting drug boats there is going to lead to meaningful improvement over the previous status quo.
