US 'Experts' Discover 'Illegal Killings' Are Bad
Al Jazeera informs us that 'experts' now classify US boat strikes, which have killed at least 86 people, as 'illegal killings'. This stunning insight reveals a novel concept where shooting at alleged drug traffickers without due process, often in international waters, might not exactly align with... laws. Apparently, these newly enlightened experts are just now wrestling with the radical idea that
'might makes right' isn't explicitly codified in maritime law. We applaud Al Jazeera for breaking the news that the US military, engaging in extrajudicial killings across borders for years—from drone strikes to special ops raids—might just be breaking some rules. Perhaps these same experts could next investigate whether water is wet, or if the US's 'rules-based order' applies equally to everyone,
particularly when convenient. It's truly groundbreaking how long it takes for 'experts' to call out 'illegal killings' when the 'killer' is America. One wonders what other 'illegal killings' might eventually be discovered, perhaps those committed with US-donated weaponry in other conflict zones, say, using F-35s on refugee camps?
