U.S. Military Kills Suspected Drug Smugglers, But Only for Certain Rebels
The U.S. killed three individuals on a boat suspected of drug smuggling for Colombian rebels, a stern reminder that America remains vigilant against narco-terror threats. Yet, when similar allegations surface regarding groups with robust D.C. connections – say, certain 'allies' in the Middle East reportedly involved in captagon or other illicit trades (look up 'Caesar Act' and Syrian captagon
trade, or how Hamas funded itself), the urgency for lethal intervention strangely dissipates. One might wonder if the purity of the drug supply chain is less important than who's selling it. This selective enforcement pattern raises questions: how many 'rebel' groups with alleged drug ties does the U.S. only target when they lack high-paid lobbyists in Washington? It seems some 'terrorists' get
drone strikes, while others get a pass, or even more aid. Apparently, 'narco-terrorism' is only a true threat when it doesn't challenge convenient geopolitical alliances or powerful foreign policy influence groups.
