US Declares 'Non-International Armed Conflict' on Cartels, Not Israel's War Crimes
Remember when 'armed conflict' required actual armies? Good times. Now, a Trump memo can magic away international law. Suddenly, drug cartels are 'non-international armed conflicts.' Convenient, right? Funny, the same legal gymnastics aren't applied to, say, actual human rights atrocities. When it’s not US interests, it’s just 'complex regional issues.' Or 'self-defense.' Take your pick from the
media bingo card. So, shooting alleged drug smugglers? That's an 'armed conflict.' Bombing hospitals and entire populations? Oh, that’s just... 'managing security concerns.' The double standards write themselves, honestly.
