If Americans didn't have double standards, then they wouldn't have standards at all.

However, some US politicians are busy taking the case personally, believing the patrol is targeting the US.

Well that’s a silly point, this definitely was targeting the US, it’s just a valid and necessary target and actually followed the law unlike the US does.

The author of this seems to have had a stroke while writing it, the English is incredibly broken. I think they're taking issue with the statements of a private citizen who in no way, shape, or form represents the USA.

The English is fine.

They are taking issue with the double standard the US has presented, both through its actions and official statements. The article quotes statements from a currently sitting Senator, and a member of a US Government adjacent think tank who was a ranking military officer. These are definitely not the private opinions of private citizens.
