Dialogue

This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, why does a country attack criminals from other countries?
Log: It’s to protect international security. Criminal organizations can have a negative impact on other countries, so attacks are necessary.
Chako: But what if it turns into a war?
Log: That’s definitely a big issue. Especially since there’s a possibility that civilians could get caught up in it.
Navi: Attacks on international criminal organizations can sometimes be justified under international law, but there are always risks involved. It’s important to ensure the safety of civilians.
Chako: I see! But isn’t there a more peaceful way to resolve this?

Admin’s Note

The U.S. military’s killing of a drug cartel leader in Venezuela is a significant event from the perspective of international security, but we must also consider the risks of war. It’s important to have a viewpoint like Chaco’s, asking how we can find a peaceful resolution. The international community needs to work together to explore ways to curb the influence of criminal organizations. I believe it is crucial for the younger generation to take an interest in these issues and deepen their understanding.
