Trump Administration Horrified To Learn ‘Shoot First, Think Never’ Isn’t A Drug Policy
After killing at least 221 people in airstrikes on suspected drug-smuggling boats, the Trump administration has reportedly reached the same conclusion every drug policy expert arrived at before the first missile was launched: cocaine can, in fact, go around things.
Officials acknowledged traffickers simply shifted to aircraft, larger vessels and coastal routes, producing exactly the outcome critics predicted, only with substantially more explosions and a significantly longer legal paper trail.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth hailed the operation as proof America remains unmatched at spending billions to lose an argument to basic logistics.
Law-of-war experts have meanwhile questioned whether the campaign could amount to extrajudicial killings or even war crimes, leaving the administration in the awkward position of discovering it may have committed atrocities without even achieving the policy failure it was aiming for.
