The Trump administration has said the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” with drug cartels, arguing that the narcotics they smuggle kill tens of thousands of Americans every year, constituting an “armed attack.”
Ah yes because nothing says “fighting the baddies” like blowing up another country’s citizens to advance your imperialist and neo-colonialist agenda. When you’re not killing brown people from the desert, you’re killing brown people from the jungle.
Trump is a murderer and a vandal. And a rapist. And an insurectionist. He’s probably jaywalked too.
I can’t tell if you’re deliberately trying to cheapen him being a rapist of children or if that was just a mid joke :(
Also nvm. Goodnight
And he should die for all our sins!! A true martyr! The pedophilia, the rape, the impurity, murder!
Even if we don’t believe that (which I don’t) the dudes on the boats are not kingpins and commanders, they are one step above literal slaves, their choices are pretty much:
1: Drive the boat and don’t get caught or tell anyone, or 2: get necklaced as soon as your wife is done getting necklaced
Why did they just take his life like that?
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong color, wrong nationality :(
The cruelty is the point

Colombian WHO WAS killed in A U.S. [MILITARY?] strike was on a fishing trip, wife claims
I have a suggestion:
Colombian WHO WAS killed
inby A U.S. [MILITARY?] strike was on a fishing trip, wife claimsThe US military didn’t provide any credible evidence, they are basically starting a terrorist blockade of waters, while the only “fact” we have is the wife statement. Under normal circumstance the wife statement should be treated as fact unless proven otherwise.
Civilian MURDERED in TERRORIST ATTACK conducted by the US ARMED FORCES was on a fishing trip
What did you think it meant?
Colombian killed
Usually, sentences go noun-verb. So who did this Columbian kill?
Colombian killed in U.S.
Oh, a Columbian was killed. In the US, of all places! What happened?
Colombian killed in U.S. strike
Oh, weird. I wonder what kind of strike (maybe the government shutdown?) resulted in this Columbian getting killed.
Colombian killed in U.S. strike was on a fishing trip,
Oh, that doesn’t make sense that there’d be a strike in the same place as a fishing trip. Wait, was he not in the US at all?
Because they’re pedophile fascists who need distractions from their inability to effectively govern.
we have unmarked masked paramilitary randomly renditioning folks over here. we are a fucked up shithole country at this point. Every country needs to be prepping their military and diplomatic ties assuming the us may be an aggressor. Europe, japan, india, canada, south korea, australia, argentina, taiwan, brazil should think about a nato alternative.
Whenever all this ends in half a century or whatever. There should probably be some kind of more generalized non-proliferation pact. To prevent a single nation from leap frogging every other by multiple factors.
It’s a rogue state at this point. The most powerful one on earth. Who could stop them even if they wanted to.
yeah this is what scares me and how come when people talk about moving out of the country its like. what and have less sensible citizens in the nation. I mean we have nukes.
Because they’re racist, unaccountable, and don’t value humanity.
Colombia should take this to the ICC, it won’t so shit, but they should anyway.
The US not only withdrew its signature of the Rome Statute in 2002 (along with Israel) it also has a law that says they’ll invade the Hague should a US war criminal ever be tried there.
Normal non-terrorist stuff.
Thanks Bush.
Oh I know that, hence that it won’t do shit, as you rightly indicated, rule of law, with bug guns. Just another average day for countries like the US and Israel.
The article missed to mention the man in question had old (10 years ago) charges about stealing 264 guns to the police that were going to be used as evidence against a paramilitar group: link in Spanish.
Obviously, this doesn’t justify the bombing against a stranded civillian target with a broken boat asking for help.
“recent”… TEN years ago.
My bad, I read months. Will fix my comment.
Imagine breaking down while fishing, raising your engine, and setting up a distress call and being excited to see an American vessel approaching to help.
It then stops, trains its guns on you, and fires explosive shells.
Big picture he is trying to start a pointless war and then use it as a justification to Crack down on people in the US that say it’s wrong to declare martial law as there are insurectionist among the people.
This will do away with due process for everyone and allow him to throw anyone he wants into prison.
The end goal will be to remain on office under the pretense that America is at war and it’s own people cannot be trusted to elect another leader for the time being
Imagine someone shooting a missile to an US yacht and then saying “drug smugglers!”.
Only until someone else will aim just a little more to the right.
But…the Epstein files?

From drone strikes on sheep herders to stop “terrorists” to strikes on fishermen to stop “drugs”. Taking all bets on what profession is the US gonna start bombing next, the excuse, method of bomb delivery and location. It’s like Clue, but awful.
Smart money is on airstrikes on uber drivers in Chicago to stop Antifa.
There was a time during the war on terror when the US could have punished the the neocons who fabricated reasons to invade Iraq, the policymakers who sanctioned waterboarding and torture, and illiberal measures like the Patriot Act. But there were no consequences and so here we are with a lawless criminal regime running amok at home and abroad, sanctioning genocide and threatening and bombing countries without even the pretence of legitimacy.
He’s going to bomb penguins in Antarctica from a satellite because they look better in a tux than him.
Also that one island with penguins not paying their tariffs
Because they have the fascist brain disorder and are a danger to all living.
By ‘mistake.’ Apparently we are at war with fisherman.
