And after two months, there’s still not been one shred of evidence that these boats ever had drugs. If it were true, this drunken secretary of garbage would have released it.
Also. IF these are really drug runners, then their bosses would NEVER use their own people, they would kidnap a fisherman with a family and force him to do the run…. So America is literally murdering kidnap victims.
When you do this to others, expect behavior in kind to ours.
Well, not going to happen from now on. Good work, Trump.
One of the big problems with TV Pete and his band of idiots is that they don’t think things through ever. They only think in terms of their desired outcome in that specific situation. The snowball of unintended consequences from their decisions is never considered. They have the mindset of a two year old just gimmie, gimmie, gimmie! Now! Now! Now!
I’d want them to have a chance to surrender too. They killed surrendering non-combatents, some of whom weren’t even going to the United States but to Suriname.
I remember in WW2 the SS slaughtered Russian prisoners and hid it from the German Army knowing that they would lose their minds knowing that the odds were that German POW’s would likely be executed in return and destroying morale and the desire to fight amongst the Germans Army.
If they weren’t combatants, this is a disingenuous analogy to make anyways.
Here’s a more apt one for the admiral:
If those were your grandkids flopping around in the water during their final moments on earth before a hostile nation murdered them without a scrap of evidence to hold up their claims, how would you feel?
Keep in mind, taking away the reason to surrender as they plan on murdering any perceived opposition will be a guarantee of something that will actually trickle down to US citizens.
When they turn their attention to protesters and opposition parties, you can be assured this “strategy” will be utilized on you.
They are showing you there is no reason to surrender.
America has never valued the lives of brown home and abroad. Nothing will change.
THEY! WERE! NOT! SOLDIERS!
The mere fact that we are just pretending that a racist administration arbitrarily labeling them “narco-terrorists” (Which isn’t a thing by the way) gives them overreaching latitude to treat them as if they were hardened soldiers is fucking disgusting.
Imagine any state being able to arbitrarily define any civilian as a terrorist and kill them at will no matter where they are simply because they want to and you have a recipe for absolute chaos.
Lucky they aren’t. Orange baby likes SEALs that don’t get sunk. /s (anyone remember that reference?)
What is they weren’t SEALS, but regular soldiers?
But they weren’t Navy Seals, they weren’t even in the military, they aren’t citizens of a country we are at war with, they may not have even been armed.
They were humans in a boat that we blew up; then we went back an hour later to kill the witnesses, er I mean survivors.
Hegseth is a fucking idiot and huge piece of shit -but the number of people in this thread who think this is some new behavior out of SoF (especially NSW) are delusional. Go read “Code over Country” and you’ll find that executing injured enemy combatants is the tip of the iceberg
Well, now that we’ve openly admitted to committing war crimes, they’re definitely not going to get that now. Should’ve thought of that before doing this.
any coke that existed on these boats is being tested by the ssecretary for quality .
Noticed he used an example of “navy seals”…out tier 1 highest caliber elite soldier to make a false comparisons to hide the fact that it was unarmed civilians where murdered
If they “knew” the “narcos” were going to meet some bigger boat from Suriname, why not wait until then? Wouldn’t that have been a better target? Also 11 people on that boat? You’re taking up that much weight/space for something that isn’t product?
Why are you shooting at civilian boats?? Quit shifting the conversation
I get wanting to blow up smugglers but there’s no need to be a evil dick about it.
Believe it or not, also jail.
This is what I dont get. The boat is inoperable, we have eyes on the situation. If they really are trying to relay a message, what are they really going to be able to do? If another boat shows up, we can easily blow that one up to. There was absolutely no reason whatsoever to send another shot down there.
Think about merchant marines early in WW II when a merchant ship was sunk by U-Boats. The U-Boat commander had 3 choices, leave the survivors, rescue the survivors, or finish the survivors.
