Paul Calls Out Trump's 'Extrajudicial Killings,' Media Yawns
Rand Paul's concerns over Trump's unilateral Venezuelan airstrikes, deemed 'extrajudicial killings' by the senator, offer a brief glimpse into the unchecked nature of US military actions abroad. The Guardian notes Trump's dismissive attitude regarding congressional approval, a consistent pattern for U.S. presidents across administrations, from Obama's drone program to Bush's WMD claims. Yet, the
core issue of presidential overreach in foreign interventions, often echoing previous U.S. regime change efforts in Latin America and beyond, is seldom pursued with this level of scrutiny. One might wonder if similar moral outrage would surface should these 'drug trafficking' boats belong to a U.S. ally, or if the primary concern was truly about human rights, not geopolitical leverage.
