A new, disturbing detail in the “drug boat” controversy that has enveloped Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the past week calls the purpose of the entire operation into question.
According to an exclusive report from CNN, the alleged narco-trafficking boat that the U.S. military targeted on September 2 in a “double tap” strike, which killed 11 people, wasn’t even heading to the U.S.
Navy Admiral Frank “Mitch” Bradley, who was in charge of the operation, reported to lawmakers that the boat they struck was actually en route to link up with a larger boat that was heading to Suriname, a country east of Venezuela, two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks said.
Bradley also said that it was still possible that the alleged drug shipment could have eventually ended up in the U.S., the sources told CNN—rather dubious justification for a strike that left several people dead.
Yes, but also what they said was accurate
The free world won’t even fight against an unprovoked Russian invasion, and the Russian military is about 20% as effective as the US military.
I’m well aware. It doesn’t make what the first person in the chain said incorrect
You mean the part about starting a world war to “prevent further escalation”? Eh, I know people are just blowing off steam.
No I mean
And
And I do think that the free world needs to get ready to defend each other
