Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

From what I heard [a Democratic representative say] the two victims were holding on to wreckage, barely staying afloat, for an hour before they were killed.
Yep, kinda goes against the "they were going for weapons bullshit" and that's ignoring that drones tend to operate far far outside small arms range. There's also very little evidence that a navy asset was anywhere in the area to be fired at.
And to add that people shooting at a drone is not any kind of true danger to human life and so obliterating them from the skies is kinda ridiculous.
probably no Fog of war, just smoke from burning corpses
Why? We paid for those murders, hand over the goods so we can assess what we got for the money.
The death of multiple evil drug kingpins with several tonnes of fentanyl headed for Miami. Trust me bro.

A LEGALLY JUSTIFIABLE DOUBLE TAP STRIKE
ON SHIPWRECKED ENEMY COMBATANTS

ALL RECORDED ON VIDEO SO WE CAN CORROBORATE THE STORY YOU'RE TELLING US?
Yes.
May I see it?
.....no.
SEYMOUR, THE VIDEO IS OF A WARCRIME!
No, mother. That's just the northern strikes.
They are getting tired of supplying all the evidence needed for their trial.
It'll be shown at your tribunal you criminal fuck.
But, if you've got nothing to hide...
I mean if I committed a war crime, I would not willingly post the video on YouTube.
What's the penalty for murder?
It's a war crime so Nobel Peace Prize.
If I were him I wouldn't be concerned about the murder, I would be concerned about the violations of the Geneva convention.
