Short version: Bunch of Jarheads tried to sneak into North Korea to plant a listening device on Trump’s orders, got spotted immediately, killed the witnesses, sank their bodies, then immediately ran back home
I didn’t even know there was a war.
Oh.
Those fucking demons should be skinned alive
i just want every single us troop to be burned at the stake immediately. is that so much to ask?
A little
I haven’t gained godlike power…
Yet
Many of the people involved in the mission were later promoted.
One of my favorite comic book moments is in an issue of The Punisher
In it, Nick Fury finds out that an Army general gave the green light to a plot to kill 300 civilians to distract Russia from a plot to steal a bioweapon out from under their noses
Nick Fury takes his belt off and beats the general with it until he’s pissed himself and cowering on the floor in a catatonic state
Just mentioning this for no reason in particular
These bastards stole (at least) three people away from their families, friends, and communities because they MIGHT have seen something while they were out minding their own business. All to protect the integrity of a mission that was kinda pointless and failed anyways. What was going to happen if one of these guys said something? The most the DPRK could do in retaliation would be to make an accusation towards the US that would ultimately go nowhere. America can inflict nightmares even greater than this with total impunity and its disgusting.
Edit: and they mutilated their bodies? jesus fucking christ
Would this article also be so matter-of-factly if the counties involved were Russia and Latvia?
I don’t think so.
RUSSIAN MURDERERS SLAUGHTER INNOCENT BABY FISHERMEN WHO WERE VERY NICE
RUSSIAN MURDERERS SLAUGHTER INNOCENT BABY FISHERMEN WHO WERE VERY NICE
ALL THE VICTIMS WERE FORMER BABIES WHILE THE RUSSIAN DEMONS WERE CURRENT TERRORISTS
Whoopsiedoodle did a terrorism
I love that the Times proudly admits they did not tell all of what they know because it could hurt the small bean seals reputations. Fucking demons
also:
In 2021, the Biden administration briefed key members of Congress on the findings, a former government official said. Those findings remain classified.
There’s a fascist Cheeto in the White House breaking international law, but civil adults-in-the-room Democrats covered for him. How liberal of them!
Probably cost millions to ice a couple free diver civilians
DPRK would know about this right? There is no way that some bodies full of bullets with knife wounds to their lungs wouldn’t immediately be flagged as US special ops. Nobody else would be doing it.
Anyway release of this information is probably intended to create paranoia. The DPRK would know about the op but wouldn’t know its intent, releasing this information out there will create a reaction. If they tried this op once, they would try it again, so the assumption the DPRK has to make is that they probably successfully installed whatever it is they wanted to install. Basically this is america trying to say to DPRK that “we know what you’re planning” and instill a good amount of paranoia in the process.
I’m sure the DPRK knew. At the end of the article they present the fact that the talks between the DPRK and USA less than a month later fell apart quickly and the DPRK quickly resumed missile testing as some tangentially related fact. I’m sure they had a strong suspicion that it was the US and Trump probably said some dumb shit that confirmed it during the talks they had scheduled so the DPRK dropped it all.
Besides who else but the roided up drug crazed US special forces would shoot civilians then stab them repeatedly to “let the air out of their lungs so they’d sink”?
its so fucked how nyt is still trying to cover for them, like making soooo many excuses “there could be nuclear war” “they were scared!! :(” and how they just call it “a north korean boat” and gloss over how they were civilians. death 2 amerikkka
North Korea are the evil ones though btw
THEY KILLED OTTO WARMBIER!!!
Otto Warmbier
Who named him? Rowling?
He was from Ohio
Most astronauts were from Ohio, because there is something about the state that makes you want to get as far away as possible.
Maybe that’s why Otto traveled to the DPRK.
I’m from Wisconsin and lemme tell you, Prairie Madness is a thing
Jokes aside, you’d think American doctors admitting that there were no signs he was mistreated by the North Korean government would be enough evidence that they had nothing to do with his death, but not in the US.
I love bringing this up, because I get to link people to the US coroner’s report and quote all the parts where it says there’s no sign of physical abuse or damage and specifically notes how perfectly normal every part of his body individually looks. And then they look like absolute buffoons when they (inevitably, and invariably) call it North Korean propaganda.
Disgusting fucking beastly pieces of racist shit that need to be sent back to the DPRK to face justice for terrorism charges.
Liberals would still salivate over this even if they knew it was under Trump’s orders
It would make them like him more. So presidential!
Just #1 terror organization/country on Earth doing terrorism.
✨ just empire things ✨
