A controversial incident in the Pacific has galvanized the international community. Two men who were adrift at sea after an initial attack by U.S. forces on a ship were killed in a second attack. The order for the renewed attack came from Admiral Frank Bradley, who headed the Joint Special Operations Command at the time. This decision is now being questioned from several sides.
Admiral Bradley justified the further attacks by claiming that the survivors and the wreckage remained a threat. He suspected there was cocaine on board the wreckage, which could potentially be smuggled into the United States. However, this reasoning is considered by many to be inadequate, especially since the men showed no signs of aggression.
The incident also caused political waves. US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth distanced himself from the decision, citing the “fog of war” as justification for the confusion. But MPs like Adam Smith strongly criticize this attitude and call for a full investigation into the events.
Law of war and human rights experts have described the attacks as extrajudicial killings because the men did not pose an immediate threat. The legal basis for such attacks is increasingly being questioned, particularly as the US claims that drug cartels could be considered military targets.
The debate over the legality of such military actions is further fueled by the increasing militarization of US drug policy. Critics warn that such measures could strain international relations and undermine trust in the United States as a champion of human rights.
