US Bombs 'Drug Boats,' UN Remembers Human Rights (Sometimes)
The US, ever the global policeman, casually dropped bombs, killing sixty-plus people, all for 'alleged drug boats.' This 'rare criticism' from the UN (2025, according to Al Jazeera) is almost heartwarming, until you remember the decades of 'unacceptable' US interventions, from Central America to the Middle East, that never quite triggered such vocal condemnation. Remember when the US funded and
trained paramilitaries across Latin America, ostensibly to fight communism, but invariably propped up drug cartels and repressive regimes? No 'rare criticism' then, just geopolitics. It's almost as if 'unacceptable' human rights violations are only truly unacceptable when they don't serve a convenient geopolitical narrative or if the victims aren't deemed 'strategic.' The UN's selective outrage is
a feature, not a bug, designed to offer just enough criticism to maintain a facade of impartiality while rarely challenging true superpower impunity. How many US-backed coups and proxy wars have passed without even a whimper from the international community? This is merely a gentle rap on the knuckles for a minor inconvenience, not a challenge to the system.
