Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body.

If you are citing a Twitter post as news, please include not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source (archive.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.

Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.

Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.

Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.

Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.

Can I get a statement from Chuck Schumer along the lines of “These are illegal murders, and when we have the ability we will prosecute every single person involved in these strikes. Members of the military have a responsibility to disobey unlawful orders, and you will be court marshaled and tried for murder if you do not.”

Like, in a reasonable world if and when the Dems regain power I want them to pass new laws to prosecute the people responsible for all this shit. But could we at least threaten to enforce existing law??? This is already illegal! Everyone who gives the order and everyone who follows it, all the way down the chain, is breaking the law and can be imprisoned for it.

Libs would rather cry about a building being remodeled than death and destruction done to the global south

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 26 points 1 month ago

Honestly planning on making a big sign that shows the white house and Gaza that says "if you care about 1 building built by slaves but don't care about genocide you aren't actually opposing fascism" and taking it to the next no kings bullshit

Oh no not the chief slaveowner's house, ThE hUmAnItY

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 48 points 1 month ago (3 children)

if you are a narco-terrorist smuggling drugs in our hemisphere, we will treat you like we treat Al-Qaeda.

So, funding and a requested list of targets?

[–] PunishedWeezing@hexbear.net 23 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Deposing a sovereign nation to place them as the leadership?

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 1 month ago

And lift sanctions afterwards 😂

[–] MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net 9 points 1 month ago

Only after you accept US led ideology first. Then you can commit all the crimes you want.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

Holy shit he's going to war against the CIA and JSOC now?

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 38 points 1 month ago

This is just straight up state terrorism, although I would expect nothing less from The Burger Reich.

[–] Palacegalleryratio@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

In bad country the state sponsored terrorists leave their homeland periodically to murder random citizens of other countries.

[–] woodenghost@hexbear.net 2 points 1 month ago

Yes, that's literally what is happening.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 27 points 1 month ago (3 children)

The fact that ten of them happened and no one stopped to think “Are we sure this time?” bothers me.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 35 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They know these aren't traffickers, they're not that stupid. They're trying to provoke a response from Venezuela or Colombia now so they can justify further escalation.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

This country sickens me

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 28 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Of course even if they were traffickers they still shouldnt be doing that. What the fuck is up with these lemmings?

[–] Crucible@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago

Wouldn't surprise me at all to find out that these targets are picked by chatgpt and nobody gives a shit 'cause they can just blame computer

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

And they aren't even doing this to drug traffickers anyway. Plenty of drugs are smuggled into the US by dangerous organizations who are helped by the US government. The feds would rather blow up boats carrying fruit than boats carrying cocaine because there's probably half a dozen CIA/FBI/DEA guys on the cocaine boat.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

The pretext is incredibly flimsy anyway. A fishing boat doesnt have the range to travel several hundred miles to reach the american coastline from venezuela.

[–] blunder@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

These are just the ten where they answered "yes"

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Treat narcos as you treat al-qaeda? Does he mean they're going to give them weapons and training, prop them up to goverment and then whitewash their image?

[–] Grapho@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago

Yeah they're talking to the real narcos and not the fishermen for that one bit

[–] SupFBI@hexbear.net 16 points 1 month ago

Thanks Obama.

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

2 strikes in the Pacific Ocean when Venezuela doesn't even have any coastline there honk-enraged

[–] dead@hexbear.net 7 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

My guess is that those attacks were meant to implicate Colombia after Colombia came out in support of Gaza.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

Is Tren de Aragua even real? Everything I've heard about it has been only talked about by chud media sphere first, and then lib media.

[–] Formerlyfarman@hexbear.net 18 points 1 month ago

No none of this real, even the use of fentanilo is widley exaggerated.

Even if it were real, so what. when the us held Afghanistan it was producing almost all the worlds opium, so exporting opium and opium products to the us is something everyone should do for the sake of symmetry.

[–] Grownbravy@hexbear.net 3 points 1 month ago

I literally never heard of this “gang”

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 10 points 1 month ago

I know these guys' brains are chowder, but the fact that doing this doesn't seem to cause any cognitive dissonance around The Boss's stated goal of winning the Nobel Peace Prize still has to say something about the Nobel.

We will treat you like Al-Qaeda

Help them conquer Syria?

[–] SarahVanDistel@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

What about if you're a convicted felon and child molester?

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

these guys were hamas right?
