“The United States has once again taken up its old role as the self-appointed police of the Western Hemisphere. Under the disingenuous pretext of combating ‘narco-terrorism’, US forces have launched a violent campaign across the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific that has already killed at least 76 people (most of them unidentified) in a series of so-called ‘anti-narcotics’ strikes on small boats. Washington claims these are precision military operations targeting narco-traffickers who are directly attacking the US with their illegal contraband. But in reality, they are extrajudicial, indiscriminate executions on the high seas. There is no due process, no physical threat to the United States, and no legal justification under either domestic or international law. It’s murder, plain and simple: moral, legal, and strategic failures disguised as national security policy.” (11/13/25)
