Does it really need to be said that military ships are fair game?

Are (alleged) drug smugglers not engaged in any kind of active combat "military ships"?
Yes. You're technically right, of course, in theory only by the government whose flag they bear. And that flag is not the US flag. All I can say, it is not a matter of serious disagreement that Venezuela's government was running a drug cartel. That is perhaps not why Trump cares, but it is true. So either that was going to happen or it was just going to continue ...
