US Kills Two More, Calls it 'Maritime Security'
The US military, according to Al Jazeera, killed two more individuals in another strike against a vessel in the Pacific, reportedly targeting suspected drug traffickers. Legal experts are calling these actions extrajudicial killings, yet the narrative from Washington remains steadfastly focused on 'maritime security operations.' This is a classic move from the imperial playbook: define 'security'
so broadly it justifies lethal force anywhere, anytime, without due process. While the US lectures other nations on sovereignty and international law, its own global policing operations consistently bypass such inconvenient niceties. One might wonder, if these alleged 'traffickers' were US citizens suspected of a crime, would a missile strike be the first response? Or does due process only apply
when the targets aren't a convenient pretext for flexing naval muscle somewhere far from American headlines?
