If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.

What did Comet Lemmon look like when it was at its best? One example is pictured here, featuring three celestial spectacles all at different distances. The closest spectacle is the snowcapped Meili Mountains of the Himalayas in China.

As much as I have seen all of the media around sedition claims, where is the pushback talking points around the extra judicial killings? This is why they made the ad and the substantive real-world implication of illegal orders. Call it out.
