What I don't understand is, why the waste of a missile? The first missile destroyed the boat, right? The survivors are in the middle of the sea, clinging to debris. Either rescue them for whatever intelligence you can get, or let the sharks have them. They aren't going to survive and they almost certainly have no way to contact anyone.

I don't care if the story is 100% true.

First strike
Video detects a couple of survivors
Command calls Hegseth
Hegseth tells them to double tap them
Gonzo

Fine by me.

You're right. The flood has been pretty well damned up. Now it's time to pump out the bilge that is sinking the ship.

NYT? I call BS.
When it comes out let’s count the number of anonymous sources.

They don't want to gather intelligence, because the primary purpose isn't to stop drugs from going to Trinidad and Tobago. The primary purpose is to intimidate Maduro by blowing up boats near Venezuela.

If we're seen to be lawless and ruthless, all the better. It sends a sharper message to Maduro.

Nobody is actually concerned about the drug runners. Not even the libs. They are trying to sow political hay leading up to the mid terms. It will get worse over the next year.

It’s like waving a steak in front of the caged hyenas

I don’t live and breathe on this website, but obviously the drone strikes were wrong. Your attempt at whataboutism is a joke.

White House and the press secretary have confirmed the story, and the story is being corroborated by Fox. Suggesting I’m lying is absurd, head embedded deep in the sand kind of shite.

Eh, I saw it differently.

I find it hard to believe Hegseth ordered this. Really hard to believe.

No one is that stupid. He's gotta be smarter than that. I think we have some commination's mishaps more than anything.

The exact details will come out shortly, from what we do know there is no good news here. The admin has certainly reacted like they got caught red handed

You were all in on Hegseth committing a war crime yesterday. I tried to tell you not to be so gullible.

Doubling down. “Out of the fight?” Think real hard why that is dumb.
