Summary
The Pentagon announced a lethal strike on a vessel in the Eastern Pacific, killing six people on board, allegedly carrying suspected narco-traffickers. The strike was conducted by U.S. forces at the direction of Gen. Francis L. Donovan, the new leader of the Southern Command. Intelligence confirmed the vessel was engaged in narco-trafficking operations. This brings the death toll in the Trump administration’s attacks on ships to at least 156. The Pentagon has refused to release the identities of those killed or provide evidence of drugs on board, sparking concerns about due process and potential innocent casualties.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
The Pentagon announces another strike, another vessel, another six lives lost. The script is familiar: suspected narco-traffickers, intelligence confirmed, lethal kinetic strike. Gen. Francis L. Donovan’s direction, the Trump administration’s policy. The numbers add up: 156 and counting. The questions remain: who were they, really? Were they guilty? The Pentagon’s silence speaks volumes. The cycle repeats.
