Donald Trump’s lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific are a brutal escalation of the United States’ long-running “war on drugs,” a bipartisan war that has seen the US involved in torture and extrajudicial killing abroad since the 1970s.
“Killings at sea” is a better phrase than some I’ve heard, but I wish they’d emphasize that we are using our military to murder civilians. They are non-military targets.
They were not charged with a crime. They had no chances to defend themselves. They received nothing remotely resembling due process. They were not convicted by a court, nor given the death penalty. We in the US do not execute people for possessing or transporting drugs.
Our military is simply murdering people.
I think we do now.
This has been the case for as long as your military existed, so that goes without saying.
lol your military
