It ought to be intuitively obvious to every terrorism investigator that HUGE international incidents like this only take place because they are made to happen on purpose (MIHOP) And that the circumstantial evidence alone overwhelmingly points to a highly organized act of terrorism carried out by all the usual suspects.

What this also means is that the Mexican Navy has been profoundly compromised because this egregious act of marine terrorism could not only have been carried out by the U.S. Intelligence Community. Clearly this was also a classic inside job perpetrated with the tacit approval of at least one Mexican Navy commander; and perhaps all the way up to a flag officer or two.

Why exactly did the ship suddenly lose power to make the necessary maneuvers at that critical time?

Why did the sailors assemble on the masts and stay then there even though there was effectively an SOS in effect?

Why did the ship, which was intended to head out to sea but ended up traveling in the wrong direction for some time, not send an SOS to all the appropriate authorities?

Of course, there has been a psychological war going on between the United States and Mexico ever since Trump began his second term.

First there was the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America.

Next there was Trump’s draconian tariff regime levied on Mexico, the USA’s largest trading partner.

Then there was the declaration of the Mexican drug cartels as State Department-designated terrorist organization, which was long overdue.

Now we see that the U.S. Armed Forces have quietly maneuvered to the southern border, as they should, to stop the never-ending invasion of illegal aliens.

The bottom line here is that it appears the war between the Mexicanos and the Gringos just took a BIG leap to the northeast CONUS. And that there are rogue elements within the Mexican Navy and Intel Services that are more loyal to Washington, DC than they are to Mexico City.
