Plot twist: the Pentagon released a night-vision action clip and the internet RSVP’d immediately. The U.S. says it struck a suspected drug boat (three people killed, the president said)
The White House dropped a piece of late-summer drama — an unclassified night-vision clip showing a fast boat going up in a spectacular fireball after a U.S. strike — and the internet did what the internet does best: make memes while diplomats call lawyers. President Trump said the strike killed three people and accused the vessel of trafficking narcotics; this is the administration’s second such strike in weeks after an earlier strike that killed 11!
