New York Times Chinese Website wrote on December 2: "Trump's political troubles: A Defense Secretary who leaves no survivors. In the Trump administration's so-called military operation against Venezuela to 'crack down on drug trafficking,' Defense Secretary Austin's method of 'eradicating the root and leaving no survivors' has drawn criticism. As investigations into the legality of the air strikes near Venezuela's coast, which killed dozens, continue to increase, even Republican supporters are demanding explanations. However, Trump seems to be trying to distance himself from him."
[Witty] Comment a few words: This move by the United States is nothing short of terrorism! Duterte used violent methods to crack down on drug traffickers in the Philippines, and the International Criminal Court quickly issued an arrest warrant; however, Trump and Austin directly bomb what the US identifies as "drug ships" with missiles, resulting in nearly a hundred lives being lost, yet they can stand idly by without any consequences. This double standard is truly despicable. Without Trump's backing and approval behind the scenes, how could Austin have the audacity to adopt this "eradicate the root and leave no survivors" approach? Now that the situation has escalated and investigations are increasing, Trump is busy distancing himself, trying to shift all the blame onto Austin. What a clever plan! The United States always boasts itself as a "guardian of human rights," but it actually engages in wanton killing and innocent people's deaths. This kind of behavior, which uses the pretext of "cracking down on drug trafficking" to commit acts of terrorism, is a blatant violation of international law and human conscience.
