So we blow them all away with million-dollar missiles for no discernible reason other than theater, while Ukraine is fighting for its very survival with $20k homebuilt drones. Against Russia. And still hanging on while the US shamefully does nothing of any meaningful help. Actually quite the opposite. I completely agree with the assertions here, but I’ve been following some of my new friends over there awhile and it just makes crap like this even more deeply disturbing.

Words are inadequate.

Every time we see or hear or read about death or torture does it inure us to what is happening? I hope not. Although it is a punch in my soul, I never want to be able to say, oh well, it is just...

The people whose lives are so cavalierly being taken by trump and Hegseth, blown to pieces, for what? I know without a doubt that trump and Hegseth don't give a rat's ass about Americans dying from drug overdoses or any other reason. This is theater, this is deflection, this is madness.

About eighteen months ago, pirates off the coast of Somalia hijacked a Liberian-flagged vessel.

Earlier this month, pirates off the coast of Somalia hijacked / boarded a vessel carrying fuel. The vessel was Malta-flagged. This hijacking took place after attacks were made on multiple vessels.

I do not know if these pirates are affiliated with each other.

Although there are differences, is the U.S. now getting kicks and giggles by acting as pirates?

Thank you for these details, Jack.

Direct lethal against an unknown sea going vessel is unconstitutional and unconscionable. And to build up maritime fire power to continue more of this is the acts of madmen. What is the end game here??? And to expend millions of dollars of ordnance for an unknown purpose is again the acts of madmen. Is this just a small man or men measuring his/their manhoods against other people of the world????? Whatever this is it is illegal and absurd. We have real enemies and they are looking at the US and laughing their asses off.

I meant to say direct lethal action in the first sentence. My brain is faster than my finger.

I never for once thought ant of this was about narcoterrorism. It is always about Trump, assuaging his ego, trying to prove he's a strong man, trying to alter the narrative. I've been contacting my nabobs from he'll and demanding they act and reminding them they are complicit in everything this regime does, if they remain silent. Thanks for all the clarity, Jack!
