Bush-Trump's So-Called Deadly Boat Attack is an Act of Murder and a Violation of International law, But Hard to Prove It Actually Occurred (like most false flags) Without Authenticated Evidence
/Experts are condemning the U.S. military strike that killed 11 people on a boat in the Caribbean last Tuesday, saying that the bombing was in violation of international law.
The Trump administration has claimed — without providing evidence — that the casualties of the strike were members of Tren de Aragua, a Venezuela-based gang that it has designated a foreign terrorist organization.
“Earlier this morning, on my Orders, U.S. Military Forces conducted a kinetic strike against positively identified Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists in the SOUTHCOM area of responsibility,” Trump posted on his social media platform, Truth Social, following the attack.
“Please let this serve as notice to anybody even thinking about bringing drugs into the United States of America. BEWARE!”
The White House posted an image on social media of Trump looking at a phone showing footage of the boat being hit. “TERRORISTS ELIMINATED. ADIÓS,” the post says, with an emoji of a person placing items in the trash.
In another post, the White House said: “ON VIDEO: U.S. Military Forces conducted a strike against Tren de Aragua Narcoterrorists. The strike occurred while the terrorists were at sea in international waters transporting illegal narcotics, heading to the U.S. The strike resulted in 11 terrorists killed in action.”
The Trump administration has circulated a brief black and white video that it says shows the fatal strike. AP reports that the White House “did not immediately explain how the military determined that those aboard the vessel were Tren de Aragua members.”
The outlet also noted that the video “is not clear enough to see if the craft is carrying as many as 11 people” and “did not show any large or clear stashes of drugs inside the boat.”
Experts say the administration’s deadly strike violated international law.
“Labeling someone a terrorist and deploying the military does not make them a military target,” Vincent Warren, executive director of the Center for Constitutional Rights, said in a statement to Truthout. “These actions amount to an extra-judicial killing, a violation of international law, which should raise extraordinary concerns.”
“Using military forces to kill alleged drug traffickers is an act of murder, not war.”
“Without clear limitations on presidential and military authority, we may find this administration claiming that it can execute alleged drug dealers at home without any judicial process as happened under the Duterte regime in the Philippines,” Warren continued. [MORE]
