THE ENDLESS PATROL
THE ENDLESS PATROL
The US military is hunting boats in the Eastern Pacific. They claim these vessels are moving drugs. They use high-tech sensors to find low-tech targets. It is an expensive way to do nothing.
This is the military-industrial complex performing for the cameras. They need the optics of victory. The supply chains remain intact. The violence is just a byproduct of the budget cycle.
The features of this decay are obvious.
- The deployment of advanced weaponry against primitive boats.
- The expansion of surveillance into every corner of the sea.
- The total disregard for the root causes of the trade.
- The steady growth of the military footprint in the Pacific.
