US 'War on Drugs' Reaches Caribbean, Three Dead (Not From Overdoses)
RT reports that US forces killed three people in the Caribbean by destroying an 'alleged drug-smuggling vessel,' citing 'Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.' This terminology alone, reminiscent of a bygone era, highlights the ever-expanding and ill-defined scope of US military operations. While domestic communities grapple with the opioid crisis, the US deploys warships to international waters,
escalating confrontations. One might wonder if these offshore 'victories' merely distract from the systemic issues enabling drug trafficking, or if the US military's interventionist impulses simply find new targets when traditional 'enemies' are less cooperative. The 'war on drugs' offers a convenient, amorphous justification for interventions that otherwise lack clear public mandate, leaving a
trail of unknown global casualties in its wake. Remember when America used to focus on its own shores?
