    So about that drone strike against "ISIS-K"...

    Yeah, not so much after all.

    https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...cial-says.html

    Tl;Dr: They killed an aide worker and pretty much his entire family. The secondary damage came from a propane tank near the vehicle. They targeted a "white Toyota Corolla". Also, this was done with no intel on the ground, but this "mistake" was simply "not a success" and shouldn't be called a "massive failure", nor should it have any bearing on their "over the horizon" capability going forward.

    Still no resignations from the General Officer ranks. Not Austin. Not Milley. Not Mckenzie...
    What if this whole crusade's a charade?
    And behind it all there's a price to be paid
    For the blood which we dine
    Justified in the name of the holy and the divine…

    What I don’t get, how is this not getting any sort of significant National or international news coverage. You’d think we would have other countries blasting us on the news for this. And that attention would force the media to talk about it.

    Currently they're too busy focusing on the international crisis the Biden Administration has precipitated in the South China Sea. Did you hear that the French Ambassador to the U.S. has just been recalled?

    “America is back" indeed!

    Is there some alternate universe where this is NOT a war crime?

    Don't you get it by now? Who do you think controls the media?

    It's a brave new world when covering for one scandal by announcing another is SOP.

    I was about to ask how this isn’t a war crime. Then again I remember Obama drone striking civilians and no one caring about it.
    I am part of that power which eternally wills evil, and eternally works good.
