Two dead from a military strike on a drug vessel—seems like a risky move in international waters. What about sovereignty issues?
I’m glad Trump is finally taking action against cartels, but two deaths on a suspected trafficking boat raises questions about escalation.
The new counterterrorism strategy sounds aggressive, but striking vessels in the Pacific could set a dangerous precedent for US military involvement.
If this was truly a drug trafficking vessel, then good riddance. But we need proof these weren’t just fishermen caught in the crossfire.
Trump’s signing off on this strategy shows he’s serious about cartels, but I worry about unintended consequences like civilian casualties.
Using the military against drug cartels overseas is a slippery slope. The article didn’t even mention if the vessel was armed or fired first.
