Not to diminish this extrajudicial killing, but can you imagine how much of this kind of shit went down pre-internet that we never heard about? Then again, we didn't have Presidents who bragged about it either.

This is an international disaster. They targeted a disabled fishing boat in Colombian territorial waters and killed fishermen.

This is just straight-up treason by rubio, he's wrecking our ability to fight organized crime in order to help bukele cover up his apparently cozy relationship with MS-13 leadership and possible theft of us foreign aid, all so trump et al can get photos of us sending hairdressers to torture prison

This story is extraordinary even by 2025 standards. Marco Rubio, the nation's top diplomat, made a deal with Bukele and agreed to renege on informant agreements in a years-long DOJ investigation into MS-13, totally undercutting credibility of such agreements.
