Nothing new, you may say, the US regime has always massacred groups of civilians on suspicion.. in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Yemen, etc, just labeling them terrorists.
And Trump himself happily signs off $billions of public cash to arm the Genocide in Gaza, blaming Hamas for resisting which they have every right to do under International Law
Still, the US reporters unanimously cheered the ‘Drug boat’ killings, for fear perhaps of Trump’s wrath getting them sacked. Really!
Nobody dared ask ‘What about the crew’ or ‘Why not wait till they reached US waters and arrest them?’ Or…
Because this was obviously just another example of Macho Bully Dictatorship.
Trump was reportedly furious because he had ludicrously sent 7 warships, 4000 marines and a Nuclear Sub, only for Venezuela to trump his monstrous egotrip by mobilizing millions of eager civilians to block the coast.
So he revenged his wounded ego by labeling some sailors as ‘terrorist drug dealers’ and executing them with a Big Bang and fanfare of fawning publicity.
“ Without clear limitations on presidential and military authority, we may find this administration executing alleged dealers at home without judicial process as happened under the Duterte regime in the Philippines,” Warren continued.
Former president of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte is now at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, accused of committing crimes against humanity, including rape, murder, and torture, in the context of the regime’s so-called “war on drugs” .
And not just dealers. There are dozens of organisations on the US terrorist list which can be conveniently blamed with any number of ‘ extrajudicial killings’.
