Footage seen by US senators shows two unarmed, shirtless men struggling to stay afloat before they were killed, sources say
Two men who survived a US airstrike on a suspected drug smuggling boat in the Caribbean clung to the wreckage for an hour before they were killed in a second attack, according a video of the episode shown to senators in Washington.
The men were shirtless, unarmed and carried no visible radio or other communications equipment. They also appeared to have no idea what had just hit them, or that the US military was weighing whether to finish them off, two sources familiar with the recording told Reuters.
The pair desperately tried to turn a severed section of the hull upright before they died. “The video follows them for about an hour as they tried to flip the boat back over. They couldn’t do it,” one source said.
The video of the attack on 2 September was seen by senators behind closed doors on Thursday amid growing concern that the US defence secretary, Pete Hegseth, and other officials who ordered the attack may have committed a war crime.
So based on the news over the last few days, the folks in charge;
America is a rogue state and has been for decades.
EDIT: never mind, I’m actually wrong. The survivors didn’t have any ability to call back. They watched two men struggle for almost an hour desperately trying to flip their boat back over TO SURVIVE and decided to murder them. Fucking string them all up
They didn’t even have the ability to make a SOS. That was part of the admirals original flimsy justification and a senator asked him directly if there was any evidence they had access to a radio and he said no.
