US Military: Alleged Drug Boats Deserve Summary Execution
CBS News offers little context beyond numbers, meticulously avoiding a discussion of international law or sovereign borders. One might wonder how many 'alleged' boats are needed before due process becomes, well, a process. Or perhaps, how many non-white lives are deemed expendable in the 'War on Drugs' before anyone questions the tactics? This isn't just about drug boats; it's about the
ever-expanding narrative of American global intervention. The U.S. military budget, approaching a trillion dollars annually, funds these extrajudicial killings ostensibly to 'keep us safe.' Meanwhile, the drug problem remains, suggesting the strategy is less about effectiveness and more about demonstrating unrivaled, unconstrained power. Are these 'strikes' any less lethal than the drones that
define other foreign policy endeavors?
