- Justify killing that opposition based on #3/#1
Fascism 101
So now the US can sink any ship on the high seas, no questions asked, no evidence given? Usually, terms like “state sponsored terrorism” are thrown about when dealing with such events.
Start blowing up American boats see how they like it
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 :(
The worst part is that he isn’t even just a child rapist. Partaking in and supporting something like Epstein’s Island as somebody with that much wealth is so insanely disgusting, so far past the normal disgusting of ruining a single child’s life like that.
We literally don’t have a term for that besides “a billionaire”.
Like, we don’t know what happened there for decades.
Who is missing? What happened to them? Etc. because in that place, by those people, anything went, the law did, does, and will not apply, ever. Other than Jeffrey Epstein, there have been literally no consequences. It has been protected.
Trump is an active participant in that, and we are all the lambs under his party.
Also nvm. Goodnight
And he should die for all our sins!! A true martyr! The pedophilia, the rape, the impurity, murder!
Murderous fascists gonna murder fascistly.
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.
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
I’m not entirely sure about that, providing the photos USA showed are accurate (they might not be under this administration.) that wasn’t a fishing boat, it was an expensive looking speed boat. Speed Boats are expensive in the world of boats, where everything is expensive.
But also a boat like that isn’t making a crossing from Colombia to USA on a single tank of fuel and any storage is going to be needed for product, so it also seems very unlikely they were trafficking drugs.
I guess if Putin and Israel can do it why not the us. Who’s going to stop us. We watched a genocide for the last two years, whos going to stop the us from bombing fisherman
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.
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.
Thanks Bush.
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
Only until someone else will aim just a little more to the right.
Imagine someone shooting a missile to an US yacht and then saying “drug smugglers!”.
But…the Epstein files?
/s
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.
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.
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
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.
Why did they just take his life like that?
Wrong place, wrong time, wrong color, wrong nationality :(
The cruelty is the point
Yep. The cruelty was always the point.
Wrong facial expression
