US Military Celebrates 100+ 'Narco-Terrorist' Deaths, No Questions Asked
According to The Hill , the US Joint Interagency Task Force South has surpassed 100 deaths, killing five more alleged 'narco-terrorists' in the Eastern Pacific recently. The Pentagon is trumpeting these fatalities as successes in interdicting drug flow. Noticeably absent from this celebratory tally is any mention of due process, legal representation, or the underlying economic desperation that
drives individuals into drug trafficking—a problem often intensified by US foreign policy interventions across Latin America for decades. Instead of addressing root causes, the US opts for lethal force, effectively militarizing a social issue. One might wonder if these 'boat strikes' are less about public safety and more about justifying an ever-expanding military budget and offshore presence. It
appears some civilians are just easier to label 'terrorists' when they're not in a strategically important oil-producing region.
