Please include sources for any claims; baseless speculation is counterproductive. Remember that this is not a win for the US, just another outburst of a dying empire.

If anyone still thinks that the pro imperialist media is any truthful instead of straight up bullshit spewing machines:

Not even the single fact that this was a kidnapping is not allowed to be mentioned.

It's called neutrality, sweaty, look it up

Using neutral language to describe a kidnapping is expressing support for the kidnappers by downplaying the reality of their actions, sweaty.

Sorry about that.
