Reports That Admiral Bradley Sold His Soul To The Devil (Krasnov)

It is being reported by Reuters that Admiral Bradley will tell Congress that the 2nd strike on the Venezuelan boat was justified.

If this report is true it confirms that he is also a war criminal along with Krasnov and Whiskey Pete and everyone else who was a part of that chain of command.

Today will be a disgraceful day in our nation's history. The UK has already stopped sending us intelligence on Venezuela.

1. He'll show up with all that fruit salad on his chest (a la Ollie North) and they'll all fawn.

The entire action is illegal - not just the strike in question.

3. Why give any information

Why would any of our traditional allies give us any information at all! The UK shouldn't even tell the US if it's foggy in London!

There's no statute of limitations on war crimes or murder.

6. He can go a couple of ways:

He can say Kegbreath gave the order and that the Pentagon lawyers told him they'd reviewed the situation and told him it was OK to do it (notwithstanding the Pentagon's Law of War Manual's plain statement that shipwrecked survivors have to be rescued) - the old "I was just following orders" defense, which doesn't work that well for admirals but it also keeps Kegbreath on the hook with him, where he belongs. Or else he can fall on his sword, lie and say it was his decision, and save Whiskey Pete's sorry ass. Either way, he's in trouble. I just hope he doesn't take the fall for Trump and Kegbreath.

7. I want to see him justify it.

Almost this exact scenario is what is listed as a "clear" case of an unlawful order. He eithe rreceived an unlawful order and followed it, or issued one. Either a way, he's a criminal.

the 2 men were still on the boat, with packages of cocaine, so they were going to continue the mission.

But will likely face consequences post Trump Era, because the reports from democrats is not all that confirming that a second strike was needed, or legal. And just wait until the first strike investigation...

with a cock-and-bull(shit) story about the two survivors of the boat destruction. Cotton says they were attempting to salvage some of the drugs from the wreckage.

12. Yeah, and they were going to swim away with the drugs

I wonder how long it would take to swim from Venezuela to the US? Would they use the Panama Canal to the east coast or just swim right up to San Diego?

So the second part of Cotton's tale is that there were other drug boats nearby that were going to rush in and whisk them away, so they had to kill them before those rescue boats arrived. Could anyone buy that crock with a straight face?

he’s not the worst one in Trump’s extensive “Stable of Prevaricators”.
Mountains of horseshit.
