The United States is a terrorist nation that should be walled off from the rest of the civilized world.
- The US is a product of European colonialism and white centrism. It would be nice, for those of us whose ancestors were already here prior to 1492 and I am sure for those whose ancestors were forced here in the interim, if people would stop trying to pretend that everyone here has culpability in the current state of affairs. Native Americans have literally only had the right to vote since the 70s.
  
  So what about your statement makes you challenge the US being a terror state?
  
  Okay, and what's your solution supposed to be? To have everyone go, well the United States is a horrible country that is filled to the brim with bigots, but because there is a tiny, tiny margin of people who aren't, we should be kind to the whole country, because we don't want to hurt their feelings? Or do you expect me to add a disclaimer to every one of my comments saying, of course, this does not apply to those in this case or that case or this other case? Because if so, that's also ridiculous. You might have ALSO noticed I said the country is a terrorist state and not every single person is culpable. But there's this thing called the majority....
  So no. I will not be adding a disclaimer to every comment saying something both of us are aware of. But way to go on disproving the stereotype of Americans and expecting special treatment.

I mean honestly, US presidents killing random people and families the world over for literally no reason is nothing new. On the scale of Trump stuff, this is pretty minor, as sad as that is to say.
- Its the bragging about it that is different.
  
  Rumsfeld more or less bragged about it too, a lot of that crowd did. We haven't had a serial killer in the White House for a few years, so it's an adjustment back (and of course Trump is such an overtly vicious person that it'll have a new flavor now), but this stuff is not new for Republicans.
  (Actually Biden and Bush Sr. are the only two presidents since Carter that I can remember that weren't fans of blowing up random people directly with US forces for no reason. In Afghanistan they did an airstrike on a wedding.)
- Exactly. A day in the life of Homelander.

Alleged cartel boat you dufuses.
- It's shocking how the media just repeat the statements of this government without any questions asked. They're really functioning as propaganda distributors rather than journalists these days. We're seeing it also with them repeating uncritically the FBI's claims about the Charlie Kirk shooting suspect.
- The media is really careful about using “alleged” in cases where they obviously dont need to, in order to sow doubt, and not using it in cases where they definitely need to, to pretend that some bullshit narrative is certain even though the opposite is true

I mean, the first war crime had no consequences whatsoever, so why would he stop? I bet we'll see more and more "extremely dangerous narcoterrorists" executed without due process or even a warrant - soon probably also within the US, not just on international waters...
- Is this part of project 2025?

Entire seasons of television have had plots based on the U.S. government doing this once, either secretly or by accident, and how they strive to make amends and reparations to avoid international conflict, and it all happens behind closed doors because everyone is terrified of the certainty of scandal should word ever get out. And now here we are.

The last one wasn't a cartel boat. This one probably wasn't either.

"Cartel boat".

"I had no idea about this"
- unrelated but FOUND THE GIZZ HEAD!
  
  look man I got mixed up with a bad crowd for about 27 albums, I can stop when I want

Bold move admitting to war crimes cotton. Let's see if it pays off.
- To be honest: I am not holding my breath.
- When have war crimes ever come back to bite a US President? Getting away with it is a long tradition.

We deserved 9/11

They could just capture the boat.
- No shit its a tiny fucking boat. Of course if they did that. Then we all know it was boat of fisherman and not drig dealers.
  
  A glorious waste of a missile and millions of dollars - let alone the lives lost. They do love wasting money and the violence/evil is the point

And fuck every shit stain rag news site that prints "kinetic strike" without quotations.
