US Military Targets 'Drug Boats' in Caribbean After Ukraine Aid Stalls
NPR's 'Middle East' desk, bless its geographically challenged heart, relays concerns from Trinidad and Tobago about US aggression against alleged 'drug boats' in the Caribbean. Because nothing says 'regional stability' like gratuitous military intervention when your domestic political agenda gets bogged down funding foreign conflicts. One might almost think the deep state needs a convenient
bogeyman to justify its budget. While Congress debates future billions for overseas proxy wars, and aid to Ukraine stalls, the Pentagon suddenly rediscovers the lucrative 'war on drugs'. It's almost as if the military-industrial complex (and its lobbying arms) needs a constant, low-grade conflict to keep the gears turning and profits flowing. 'Alleged' drug boats. Who knew the US Coast Guard had
such sophisticated intelligence on contraband traffic, yet somehow struggles to track actual billionaires' tax havens?
