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.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
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.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Like blowing up random civilians without any intel?
Or because he is black.
No, they love to parade around black people who they've somehow managed to convince to follow them into Hell. It's great cover for the horrible things they have planned for black working class communities
no no you're thinking of the 1990s/2000s ~~fascists~~ republicans.
Todays WARFIGHTERS don't even pretend. It's too nuanced for them to handle.
Yeah, see all the firings of people of color and people with no dicks. And then the firings to hold people accountable.
I could see someone in his shoes be worried about war crimes or crimes against humanity at this point. Even if they ARE drug dealers, you can't just blow up the boat and it's also very possible they've killed innocent bystanders.
Also, they're not drug dealers.
It literally wouldn't matter if they were, but the only reason to murder them out of hand was to not have a trial
Holsey molsey!
I'd say maybe he didn't see the whole Venezuela op as a win for any American citizen, who knows now what's the real intention of the American regime.
Oh I think you know.
