US Military: 'Drug Runners Deserve Double Tap'
A senior US military general will claim that survivors of a boat strike, later hit with a 'double tap' second attack, were trying to continue a 'drug run.' This comes after Democrat lawmakers briefed on the incident reported the video clearly showed survivors in 'distress.' (The Independent, Dec 4, 2025). The convenient timing of this explanation, after a 'closed-door briefing' to Congress,
perfectly reframes what appears to be a war crime into an act of self-defense against supposed narco-criminals. One might wonder if the US military's definition of 'distress' now includes plotting complex drug deals while treading water, or if every civilian casualty is retroactively declared a cartel kingpin. The logic seems to be: if you're targeted once and miraculously survive, any subsequent
death is simply proof of your unrelenting villainy. How many 'distressed' civilians have their 'intentions' assessed posthumously?
