MOAB. That's a clear, but mistifying, deterrence-message.

The profits from a single drug boat making it in far outweigh the costs of rounding up the crews' families and telling them you'll cut off all their heads if they don't get in the boat and sail.

Okay?  Lets just keep doing the same thing then.  That's been working great.  I'm not saying this is some groundbreaking 'we're going to win this war on drugs thing' but I'd say it's a much greater deterrent than the status quo

So we should let them operate unimpeded because they might hurt us if we resist?

No, they should fear us.  Every enemy should fear us.  I'm tired of policy by weak dick cucks.  Maximum violence is the answer to anyone seeking our harm.

Direct covert strikes (complete destruction and elimination) on every upper echelon Mexican drug guy’s houses, buildings, and businesses should happen immediately.

Spend 30 minutes with the JTF-North guys down at Eagle Pass…. You’ll very quickly come to the conclusion we were doing TF3-10 in the wrong place.

Bring back Ding Chavez and John Clark...

In general, I'm strongly against "political signaling" by way of military action, but in this case, I'd say it was used appropriately.  Doesn't feel like they actually thought through the second and third order effects though. 

I feel like Tom Clancy already wrote this this story line...but @uhhello beat me to it...

I like how John Clark quoted the Sundance Kid. "Think You Used Enough Dynamite Butch?" At least in the book version.

Things happen all over the world every night, sometimes they come to light.

US special forces killed North Korean civilians in botched 2019 mission, NYT says

[uninformed]

"...they inadvertently came across the detachment of SEALs as they splashed ashore at night, the Times reported. The American forces opened fire, killing all those aboard the small fishing vessel...".  Well, coming from Reuters and the New York Times and "Citing unidentified sources...", I'm not convinced.  Also, sounds a little sloppy for SEALs to "splash" ashore.

To be fair, the sound probably originated from the literary agent, not the SEALS themselves...

im sure one of our "quiet navy professionals" will write a book about it.

Seems like something NK would have jumped on and made a stink about.

This statement woefully overestimates the value of the people on the boat, to the people who own the boat. But hey, it got a cool headline and maybe distracted from some files Pam Bondi promised she was going to release...

Who cares? It's still cheaper to just blow them up.

Sounds fictional. In what peace time situation (or even war time) does the ROE allow them to blatantly murder unarmed civilians?

That's either made up or there is WAY more to the story.

But Epstein!! It's the only thing that matters now, yet another conspiracy with no witnesses. 

 

I thought it had potential, but once Gloria Allred shows up you know it's a hoax.

I wonder if NK shellfish divers are like the cuban construction workers we encountered on Grenada

-An American city in flames.

-Trump depicting himself as LTC “Kilgore,” a fictional character defined by sadism and lunacy.

-A name change from the Department of Defense to the Department of War, and a threat that Chicago…. Chicago, Illinois, USA, …..is about to find out why.

But let me guess, …..you guys still think this is fine.  Totally normal behavior, no?

People that find this unconscionable and sickening just have TDS.

“Mean tweets” is all, right?

And after all, come on, whatabout Hunter’s laptop???
