I remember some Republican wanting to put machine guns along the border. While sane people in the US, and most of the civilized world, have ongoing problems processing how fucked this country is now, magats/republicans, and the administration just giddily circle jerk on killing people. They love this type of murder, and go out of their way to defend it. So fucking gross.

Imperialism does tend to boil down to just murdering people.

But that would be slow, hard, and expensive. Just murdering them is quick, cheap, and easy!

Man, it's been a heck of a year for Tren De Aragua. Just a few months ago they were completely unknown, then a single slum lord in Aurora Colorado uses them as a scapegoat for why his tenants have to live in filth and squalor, and they've managed to take that clout and spin their organization up into an Escobar-level international drug cartel in an implausibly short amount of time.

Say what you want about TDA, but you've got to admire the hustle.

Lethal kinetic strike? This entire policy is about showboating violence, why would you use a euphemism?
