I am working hard to make sure you all see the names and faces and stories of all of the people being slaughtered and maimed by the American government

Thank you Shaun.

Thank you for this detail which I hadn’t seen before. How terrifying for those communities and families. How unjust and unnecessary. Anyone else doing this would be described as terrorists. I don’t understand why the USAF would actually carry out what looks very illegal and unwarranted. Did congress approve this?

I hope there will be a proper investigation.

Our military must be held to account. And as I'm learning, what we perpetuate overseas boomerangs to us.

It does indeed

Good for them. Trump should be in jail for murdering innocents. He is not right, He is wrong and a fascist ruler of a fake democracy where the fake Republican party won't stop him.

I’ve said this so many times: whatever someone will do to one person, they will happily do to you too. Look at what’s happened in the usa, trump and ICE started with illegal immigrants, and now it’s anyone…….

Great point Ms. Lovell. Just because it doesn't happen to one person, doesn't mean it will stop at that one person/group. And imperialist injustices abroad are mirrored by what happens at home.

Thank you for the much needed truth concerning these fishermem and others. Trump has no evidence for what he has done, only assumptions. At this time, I'm on a fixed income and not able to join. Perhaps in the future I'll be able to. Thanks again for your honesty in investigating the truth.

King Kong, the out-of-control crazed gorilla, has returned and is now out of the cage and on top of the Trump Tower batting down planes.

We are in a full-blown totalitarian police state dressed up as a free and noble patriotic democracy. The coming years will be a social, political, and economic meatgrinder replete with mass arrests, street riots, and state sanctioned executions by highly paid masked goon squads. This will be a hard nut to swallow, especially for those hanging on to the delusion that we can vote our way out of this nightmare.

Imagine if China, say, or North Korea decided that a boat of American fishermen, or Japanese fishermen, or Filipino fishermen in the high seas were Western spies on their way to China (even if the boats were going in the other direction), and without bothering to investigate, they simply blew them out of the water and labeled/libeled them as terrorists, and bragged about having defeated a Western "plot" — and then repeatedly shelled foreign boats full of fishermen or other innocent civilians with the same rationale and post-attack braggaddocio. What would the U.S. be doing then? What would the U.S. media be calling it?

This is not just murder; it's defined as terrorism under international law: terrorism, mass murder, and serial murder. Trump and all the decision makers in his chain of command should, under the Nuremberg rules, be hanged.

And with the disgraceful Saddam spectacle as precedent, it should be public and broadcast world wide.

The only reason Venezuela allowed itself to be bullied, and didn't retaliate against U.S. ships (aside from the fact that it's a civilized country, unlike the U.S.) is that it's weak and small. That's also why Trump chose it as a target for his performatory, murderous ego trip.

The government of apartheid is constantly inventing from whole cloth dead men walking.
