Eight more people murdered extrajudicially in the Eastern Pacific. In total, since the attacks began on September 2, the United States has already carried out 95 executions against suspected drug boat crew members. As in the previous 22 attacks, the Trump administration provides no evidence of the alleged cargo, the identity of the crew members and their complicity with narcoterrorist organizations, or that the ships were destined for the United States.
“On December 15, under the direction of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Joint Task Force Southern Spear conducted deadly attacks against three vessels operated by designated terrorist organizations in international waters,” the US military states in X.
“Intelligence information confirmed that the ships were using known drug trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and were engaged in drug trafficking. In total, eight narcoterrorists died during these actions: three on the first ship, two on the second, and three on the third.”
The US Congress is mobilizing to limit Trump’s offensive, which has resulted in 15,000 troops against Venezuela, threats that also include Colombia under the pretext of “narcoterrorism” and 87 extrajudicial executions.
“Now we’re going to start on land,” Trump said this Friday afternoon in the Oval Office: “On land it’s a lot easier, and it’s going to start happening, we’re not going to allow people to destroy our youth, our families. It’s not just ground attacks on Venezuela, it’s ground attacks on horrible people who are bringing drugs and killing our people.”
“So it doesn’t necessarily have to be Venezuela, the target is the people who are bringing drugs into our country,” said Trump, who not only pointed the finger at Venezuela, but also at Gustavo Petro’s Colombia.
In this context, there are two war powers resolutions, to prevent Trump from launching a unilateral attack against Venezuela, ready to be voted on this week in the House of Representatives before the Christmas break – Resolution 61 and Resolution 64 -.
