SEOUL, Sept 5 (Reuters) - U.S. Navy SEALs shot and killed a number of North Korean civilians during a botched covert mission to plant a listening device in the nuclear-armed country during high-stakes diplomatic negotiations in 2019, the New York Times reported on Friday.
Citing unidentified sources, including current and former military officials with knowledge of the still-classified details, the newspaper said Donald Trump approved the operation during his first administration, as he was involved in historic talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
The civilians appeared to be diving for shellfish when they inadvertently came across the detachment of SEALs as they splashed ashore at night, the Times reported. The American forces opened fire, killing all those aboard the small fishing vessel, the report said, without specifying the number of casualties.
A classified Pentagon review later concluded the killings were justified under the rules of engagement, the report said.
What the fuck? This is horrific.
So let me get this straight: the US military was accidentally caught in foreign territory by random civilians who were diving for food, and the American soldiers just immediately killed them all? And this is normal?!
A classified Pentagon review later concluded the killings were justified under the rules of engagement, the report said.
What?? What rules of engagement say “if we’re caught with our pants down, just kill everyone who saw us and we’re good?”
We really are the bad guys. This isn’t just bad, it’s evil villain level bad. I’m genuinely disgusted.
The US is demonic not sure what you expected
You should listen to the back catalog of blowback
This is normal world police behavior.
Just take a guess as to who was president at the time.
He wasn’t in 1950. In fact, if I remember right, Donald Trump was the one who was criticised for being too soft on Korea.
Obama never ordered to kill civilians with drone strikes.
Death to America.
And a miserable painful death to anyone who support this type of shit.

This is just adding insult to injury “yeah we invaded a foreign country who has never done any harm to us and gunned down a group of random bystanders but you can’t get mad at us because we wrote a piece of paper saying that we’re allowed to do it”

We investigated ourselves and found we did nothing wrong.
Death to America
Death to America.
And a miserable painful death to anyone who support this type of shit.
