This whole thing sounds super fishy to me... I mean, the admin is basically saying they killed dozens of civilians but can't even identify them? That's not a legitimate military operation, that's just a bunch of people getting blasted for no reason. And now we're being told it's all legit because the US is in some kinda "non-international armed conflict" with these cartels? I need to see some credible sources on this one... can't just take the word of the admin or their sycophant senators. How do we know this isn't just another example of the Trump admin covering up its own wrongdoing?
this whole thing is just mind boggling... like how can an admin just claim they don't know who the civilians are they're killing? that's not a non-international armed conflict, that's just people getting dropped without any idea what their names are or why they were targeted. and now the war department can't even prove it was a cartels affiliate lol what a stretch. this whole thing stinks of secret ops and lack of accountability
man I'm getting vibes from this whole situation like something out of a movie from back in the 80s when those action films were all about the good ol' US of A taking down bad guys but not thinking through the consequences . it's crazy that they're just killing people without knowing who they are or even if they're involved in anything shady. and now they're trying to cover it up by saying it's part of some "non-international armed conflict" thingy... sounds like a bunch of hooey to me . I remember when we used to have more oversight on things like this, you know? when the media was actually able to hold people in power accountable for their actions. now it feels like everything is just a big mess and nobody's really holding anyone accountable
I just got back from the most random road trip to this tiny beach town in California, where I accidentally stumbled upon a secret surf competition . I mean, who knew there was a group of dudes riding waves at 3 am? Anyway, it made me think about how some people can just show up anywhere and become "designated" for something (or someone), you know? Like, these cartels and DTOs... they're not even really clear-cut, are they? It's all so... messy . Can we talk about surfboards instead of geopolitics for a sec?
