The Trump administration has been hounded with allegations that its ongoing strike campaign against alleged drug boats have violated the laws of war
The Trump administration touted last year’s bombing of Iranian nuclear sites as one of its great military successes. But a strike to support protesters would need to be very different and could backfire.
THE United States has sent a fleet of specialised aircraft to UK bases following its attack on Venezuela. Ten C-17 Globemasters and two heavily armed AC-130J landed at RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire and at RAF Mildenhall in Suffolk in recent days, according to The Daily Mail. These aircraft often join forces in covert US operations overseas.
Even accepting the Trump administration’s claim that there is an armed conflict with suspected drug runners, the laws of war bar “perfidy.”
Following the US' sudden raid on Venezuela, which triggered concerns from many countries, some defense-focused media reported that there has been a sudden surge of US aircraft to Europe, prompting speculation of future special operations in the region.
