Addressing reporters today, senator Tom Cotton said with respect to the second strike killing two survivors clinging to a capsized boat, "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight." He said the stirkes were "righteous strikes" and "entirely lawful."
Umm.
First, that boat was about 1,500 miles the the United States. Those two were trying to survive and there's no way that boat was going to get anywhere near the United States.
Second, the use of the word "righteous" is Christian nationalism and we should recognize it as such.
Third, eventually the video will come out and Cotton will be forever known as one of those in Congress who celebrated the murder of two shipwrecked individuals (or war crimes, except there's no war).
Fourth, Cotton confirmed that the United States chose to kill those two men in a second strike. There was no fog of war or miscommunication.
Fifth, we have become the bad guys.
Release the video.

First..... Cotton is an ignorant ignoramus. There's no way in hell 2 shirtless, shellshocked human beings could right a 30' capsized panga even if it were intact, having capsized due to being pooped -flooded over the transom-, as opposed to having it's stern demolished by a missile. At a minimum it takes an experienced captain with a sufficiently powerful towboat who knows how to parbuckle (right) a capsized vessel.
2nd, there's no way in hell another panga is coming into an area where there are active naval assets popping off rounds to scoop up square groupers (drug bales-. Naw gah happen.
Your 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th are spot on.

And had they survived they would go back to their trade of drug running killing more Americans.
Cry me a river....

Life is all about choices...
These fisherman who were murdered could have just purchased $TRUMP crypto and received safe passage.
They chose their fate!

This post nails down a recurrent theme of a subgroup of our board righties:
They intensely dislike the liberal democracies of Europe and parrot the fascist/Russian propaganda that seeks their overthrow.
How can you spot these folks?
They’re the ones talking about Europe being overrun by hordes of Muslims, just like in this country, they talk about America being overrun by hordes of immigrants from Latin America.
Following their Russian masters, they also wish to weaken/defund/break apart NATO and leave Ukraine to the wolves.
It’s a subset of folks on the right, and it’s not even apparent that they know they are useful idiots.
