U.K. Suspends Intelligence Sharing w/U.S. as Caribbean Strikes Continue

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Britain has suspended the sharing of intelligence with the US on suspected drug trafficking vessels in the Caribbean amid concerns information supplied may be used to engage in lethal military strikes by American forces.

Such a decision – a rare rupture between the normally close military allies – would indicate that the UK does not believe the Trump administration’s controversial practice of sinking boats allegedly used by drug traffickers is legal.

The UK, which retains oversight on several island territories in the Caribbean, has long shared intelligence with the US about the movements of suspect vessels travelling from Latin America, so they can be seized by the US Coast Guard.

I believe the UK's decision to suspend intelligence sharing with the US on drug trafficking in the Caribbean is quite significant. While it may appear to be a temporary rupture, it reflects a legitimate concern about the legality and consequences of military actions, such as the destruction of vessels. Cooperation between the two countries has generally been close, but in this case, the UK seems to be questioning the legality of practices that could result in deaths or collateral damage, which is both valid and necessary. Sovereignty and respect for the international legal framework must prevail, even in the fight against drug trafficking. It is important to strike a balance between effectiveness in combating crime and respect for human rights and international law. Cooperation must be based on clear principles and mutual respect.

UK just knows that the United States under Trump doesn't stay passive in issues that it feels threatened about. They can invade and level everything.
