The U.S. Killed 8 People on the Pacific Ocean Yesterday. That's Literally All Our Government Told Us.

"Yesterday, the United States military killed eight people in small boats on the Pacific Ocean. According to the U.S. Southern Command, which gleefully posted its snuff footage on Twitter by way of announcing the news, the eight men involved were "narco-terrorists," members of "designated terrorist organizations" who were fair targets under the ongoing Southern Spear campaign, which has struck at least 25 boats, killing at least 95 people since the autumn."

"By way of evidence in support of its claims, the U.S. Southern Command offered ... nothing. Which "designated terrorist organization" was involved? We don't know. Where did these boats come from? We don't know. Where were they going? We don't know. What drugs were they alleged to be carrying? We don't know. It was one of the deadliest single days of the campaign to date, and the people carrying out the killing don't think that the American people have any right to know how, why, or to whom literally any of this is happening."

United States military forces killed eight people in small boats on the Pacific Ocean. The U.S. Southern Command posted footage on Twitter and labeled the eight men "narco-terrorists," members of "designated terrorist organizations," and fair targets under the Southern Spear campaign, which has struck at least 25 boats and killed at least 95 people since the autumn. The Southern Command offered no public evidence identifying any organization, the boats' origin or destination, or alleged drugs. Sen. Chris Murphy posted that the administration had "no legal justification" or "national security justification" and that officials admitted no fentanyl was coming from Venezuela.
