U.S. Discovers 'Drug Boats' Only When Convenient
Imagine such swift, decisive action applied equitably. For decades, the US has turned a blind eye to narcotics flowing from specific 'allied' nations—and no, we're not talking about Colombia anymore. The financial networks behind global drug trafficking often intertwine with geopolitical interests, creating untouchable zones. While Venezuela faces kinetic force over 'alleged' drug boats, nations
like Saudi Arabia, a key US ally and significant donor to lobbying groups, continues to operate with impunity, its human rights record and alleged funding of extremism often glossed over by mainstream media. One might wonder if the efficacy of these 'drug boat strikes' is truly about interdiction, or if it merely serves as a convenient justification for projecting power against disfavored
governments. How many 'drug lords' with actual connections to US-backed proxies receive the same summary justice? Or perhaps, some narcos are simply more strategic assets than others. The 'war on drugs' always seems to find its most compelling targets where political conveniently align.
