Lethal force against a civilian vessel in international waters is a war crime if not in self-defense. If not in self-defense, only non-lethal actions, such as warning shots or disabling fire, are allowed. "Not yielding to pursuers" or "suspected of carrying drugs" doesn't carry a death sentence.

The kids love it, we save tons of money, and it's good for a little exercise to boot. People love to performatively balk at the price but it is a car replacement for us! We saved thousands more by opting for the bike.

A few years ago, my wife and I were weighing buying a car. I had heard a bit about electric cargo bikes, but didn't know much. After some research we took the plunge and bought a cargo bike instead of a car. It is so much more practical and affordable than owning a car. It isn't a status symbol.

Very rarely is the obvious so plainly said but it is worth reminding people that one of the reasons that liberal support for Israel has plummeted is the majority, if not all, of pro-Israel arguments today rest upon fundamentally illiberal premises. Liberals, at least serious ones, don't like that.
