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.
They aren’t going to win any war on drugs either, it’s just murdering people with no accountability.
“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.
Our military is simply murdering people.
This has been the case for as long as your military existed, so that goes without saying.
lol your military
You mean the US lost the war on drugs? Add it to the list of other wars it has lost. There’s no shortage of them
