Head of US command overseeing Trump ‘drug boat’ strikes steps down after expressing concern with the attacks: report - Independent. co.uk

Admiral Alvin Holsey, the head of the U.S. Southern Command overseeing strikes on what the Trump administration claims are Venezuelan drug boats, has stepped down after expressing concern with the attacks, according to a new report.

Over the past few weeks, Special Operations forces have launched hits on at least five boats off the Venezuelan coast in the Caribbean Sea that the White House claims were transporting drugs. A total of 27 people have been killed in the strikes.

Just this week, Trump announced a boat strike that killed six suspected drug traffickers.

The New York Times reported, citing an unnamed U.S. official, that Holsey had expressed concerns about the alleged drug boat attacks and the Southern Command’s overall counterdrug and counterterrorism mission. The Southern Command, which covers Central and South America, currently has about 10,000 troops in the region, per the NYT.

President Trump on Monday said the U.S. should no longer serve as the “policemen of the world.”

“We more and more are not wanting to be the policemen of the world,” Trump said during a joint press conference with Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari.

“We’re spending tremendous amounts of money for decades policing the world, and that shouldn’t be the priority,” he said. “We want to police ourselves and we want to rebuild our country. And the president understands that.”{mosads}

Trump ran on the promise that he would extricate the U.S. from foreign wars.

And release the Epstein files (2024) ?

It's called HYPOCRISY.
