Adm. Frank M. Bradley saw the two survivors of the first strike on an alleged drug boat as legitimate military targets based on the rules for the operation, a defense official said.

    What a dumb ass argument. Accordings to Al Quadas rules of engagement, the twin towers were a legitimate military target.

    You don’t just get to decide yourself what counts at legitimate target, that’s not how any of this works.

      America basically did 9/11. Like a proxy war on itself.

      America will hurt its own people to get things done for its business and power agendas. Most people deny it because it’s so surreal. But America is like a Mafia boss that kills a family member to get ahead.

      America really isn’t what people think it is and there’s billions of dollars going into molding a pre-designed narrated path of an American dream that is truly not authentic and genuine. You have to be a strong individual to maintain freewill and authentic human freedom here and the closer to attainment of that the more surreal things get and the more truth gets hard to swallow.

      It probably time for people to put humanity above their nations …world wide. Because it’s clear it’s a world agenda as we watch them trying to get a foot hold into Canada and European countries. And even the wars start to make sense… Epstein’s ties with Israel… And that general group of wealthy businessmen using nations as their tools.

      The current state of humanity is far far darker than most regular people think. You really need to detox from the culture to see the reality. And generally when a person does that they become an outcast or enemy for admitting the truth.

    This is them going all in on the Cartman defense. Notice there isn’t a peep about Hegseth ordering to kill everyone? They’re still blaming the admiral completely, lol. I hope the other admirals and generals know they will be thrown under the bus as well.

    Bradley, who at the time led the Joint Special Operations Command, concluded the survivors of the first strike were trying to continue a drug run

    I guess they started swimming some product to its destination, after getting blown up?

      Even that is ceding an important point. Since when is drug running punishable by death? And since when is that executable without trial? And since when do we have the authority to enforce that outside of our territory?

      Imagine Saudi Arabia bombing Americans in boats in the Caribbean and claiming that it’s because they were bringing bourbon to their country. That’s how ridiculous this is.

        It’s all out in the open that America is basically an enemy of humanity. But the privilege and naiveness indoctrinated into them makes them live in denial. The truth is so surreal.

        It’s a hard task to admit to basically your entire life has been a lie. Not even just life but aspects of history. I think that’s why sometimes people snap, like Arron Bushnell and the Nashville RV bomber as an example.

      That tracks. I mean, these boats would have to be refueled 20x to reach Florida, so they must all be Aquaman

    the rules for the operation

    These would be his orders? And he was just following them? He was just following orders?
