How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart

Trump Regime murders fisherman because thats what murderous regimes do

A group of Navy SEALs emerged from the ink-black ocean on a winter night in early 2019 and crept to a rocky shore in North Korea. They were on a top secret mission so complex and consequential that everything had to go exactly right.
The objective was to plant an electronic device that would let the United States intercept the communications of North Korea’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-un, amid high-level nuclear talks with President Trump.

....
The shore team swam to the boat to make sure that all of the North Koreans were dead. They found no guns or uniforms. Evidence suggested that the crew, which people briefed on the mission said numbered two or three people, had been civilians diving for shellfish. All were dead, including the man in the water.
Officials familiar with the mission said the SEALs pulled the bodies into the water to hide them from the North Korean authorities. One added that the SEALs punctured the boat crew’s lungs with knives to make sure their bodies would sink.

They found that the killing of civilians was justified under the rules of engagement

A few days after taking office in 2017, Mr. Trump skipped over much of the established deliberative process to greenlight a Team 6 raid on a village in Yemen. That mission left 30 villagers and a SEAL dead and destroyed a $75 million stealth aircraft.

The NYT revealed that back in 2019, the U.S. was so hungry for insight into what Kim was thinking, it authorized a secret mission that sent SEALs into North Korea.

I wonder if North Korean special forces murdering fishermen in Oregon or something would also be treated as nbd?

I mean, every President is ordering SOCOM to do some super shady shit all over the world and plenty of those missions don't go according to plan.

The thing that always chafes with the Teflon Don is that he somehow just glides over scandals & fuck-ups of poor planning and execution that would have tanked almost any other Presidency, the 2017 Yemen raid being a near Jimmy Carter - Operation Eagle Claw level fuck-up.

a short time latter the North Koreans launched a few test ballistic missiles including one that could hit North America

I don’t really fault the Turd for this failed NK mission—seems like it was a long shot, they knew the risks, but the intelligence would have been worth it. Also, unlike now, they still had plenty of a-political career experts at Defense Intelligence etc. and they took their time planning and prepping for the mission. Shit goes sideways sometimes—it happens. Given that SK wasn’t bombed to smithereens and NK never nuked us nor made a big deal of it, it seems the fallout was largely contained.

The Yemen raid was a different story, and this recent Venezuelan adventure could be an even bigger degree of amateur hour (too soon to tell but I have low expectations.)

What a bizarre circle of life

Seal team 6 kills fishermen and villagers
in countries that people flee
to arrive in the US
and then
Meal team 6 joins ICE and kidnap foreigners and send them back to their villages
where
Seal team 6 kills fishermen and villagers

Stop that. It hurts my feelings when people chant “Death to America”. I just wanted to pay lower taxes. Who knew I might wind up with a nuke up my ass. Lord, have mercy on my American exceptionalism. I thought it went without saying I don’t deserve this.

I really wonder what actually happened also in I think it was Nigeria, but I may be confused. Yea, but Carter failed to get the hostages from Iran.
Edit: OK I won't be lazy.
