The US military announced the killing of another two men in “a lethal kinetic strike”on a boat suspected of carrying drugs in international waters in the eastern Pacific Ocean on Monday.

The Pentagon released video of the strike, which brings the total number of known naval attacks on suspected drug smugglers to 30 since September, and raises the death toll to at least 107 people, according to US military figures.

The attack was carried out “at the direction of” Pete Hegseth, the defense secretary, US Southern Command said in a post on X, the Elon Musk-owned social media platform where images of the attacks have been posted.

“Intelligence confirmed the vessel was transiting along known narco-trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific and was engaged in narco-trafficking operations,” the military said. “No US military forces were harmed.”

I often hear the clarion call for paedophiles to be castrated without anaesthesia and then shot. Often even before a structured court process. Can you imagine if there was evidence, any evidence anywhere of any well known pedo's........

That gut wrench, every single time they brag about this. I am not religious but would take up praying for these evil bastards to face the same music, as abhorrent as that is.

I suspect Pedolf Diddler and his merry band of fuckwits of high treason; and the punishment for that crime is....

Since we're dishing out punishments on suspicion now... just saying.

Intelligence is carrying a lot of weight there.

So I suppose suspected Republican will be reason enough to kill Americans in other countries now?
I don't see how Republicans can reasonably argue against that, since they after all are part of a war crime cult now.
We may accidentally take out a few non Republicans, but hey that's the times we live in now, as they are defined by USA.
