the U.S. military just blew up 11 people on a boat in the Caribbean Sea. now they were probably criminals. But there also wasn't a trial or any sort of evidence presented. instead you just had the Trump administration calling them narco terrorists and saying, “this is the beginning.” and you've got all of that raising concerns about a possible military confrontation with Venezuela, which let me explain. right, so we actually first learned about the attack during Trump's address at the white House yesterday, where he was announcing Space Command HQ And Alabama also was kind of a little bit of a proof of life. But he said, when you come out And when you leave the room, you’ll see that, we just, over the last few minutes, literally, shot out a boat a drug carrying boat a lot of drugs in that boat. and then you quickly had Secretary of State Marco Rubio giving some additional information on a post on X writing, “as @potus just announced moments ago today, the U.S. military conducted a lethal strike in the southern Caribbean against a drug vessel which had departed from Venezuela and was being operated by a designated narco terrorist organization.” with then Trump posting a video on Truth Social that appeared to show the strike. then alleging that those targeted had been positively identified tren de aragua narco terrorists and adding “the strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics heading to the United States. the strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.” right, And all of this very notable for a number of reasons, including that this is a massive shift away from how the U.S would normally deal with it. right, Because in the past, American authorities have focused on seizing the drugs, identifying suspects, building a criminal case, and not just blowing them out of the water. and at least according to Trump, there's more where that came from. and while a senior official also told the New York Times there would be additional attacks against cartel boats in the future, Notably, the white House still hasn't explained how the military determined that those aboard the first boat were actually cartel members. plus, you're seeing defense officials declining to address almost any questions about what went down, including one, the amount of drugs on board. two, whether they tried to stop the boat first, communicate with it in any way or otherwise give them a chance to surrender before striking with deadly force. And three, what legal authority they're using to justify the strike. now with all that, you have experts saying that this may be a violation of international and human rights law. Though, to be fair, it's not necessarily one that we didn't see coming. right, Because back in July, you had Trump signing a secret directive greenlighting military force against those drug cartels that his administration had deemed terrorist organizations. and since then, you've had the Pentagon bolstering their presence in the Caribbean, sending warships and thousands of troops to the region.
