The US military's Southern Command has reportedly carried out a controversial boat strike in the Caribbean, resulting in the deaths of three suspected drug smugglers. This comes just a week after a similar incident in the Pacific, where two drug smugglers were killed. The total death toll from these strikes has now risen to 133, according to Pentagon statements. The legality of these strikes is under scrutiny, with legal experts questioning the lack of accountability and due process for those being killed. The Trump administration is facing criticism for its apparent unlimited license to kill individuals deemed terrorists. The Southern Command's operations in the region have been framed as a campaign against 'narco-terrorism', but evidence of coordinated drug-smuggling rings remains scarce. This incident raises questions about the effectiveness and ethical implications of such military actions.
