The United States is now in a perpetual state of undeclared war. President Trump’s decision to summarily kill suspected drug smugglers at sea marks a chilling escalation—bypassing courts, due process, and the very principles of democracy. Eleven people were blown up in the Caribbean with no trial, no evidence tested, and no accountability. This is not law enforcement. This is mass murder on the high seas.
The administration boasts of expanding these strikes while the Pentagon’s budget soars beyond $1 trillion. Billions more are to be squandered on militarism while domestic needs—from housing to healthcare—remain unmet. Americans should be asking: is this really about security, or is it a dangerous spectacle designed to distract us from scandals like the unreleased Epstein files?
When presidents claim the unchecked power to kill without trial, our nation slides toward authoritarian rule. Congress and the courts must not remain silent. We must demand transparency, accountability, and a return to the rule of law.
Otherwise, endless war and bloated defense budgets will continue to serve as cover for corruption and abuse.
If the United States allows its leaders to replace justice with execution, we will have surrendered not only our moral standing in the world but our own democracy at home.
