The US Abandons Boat Strike Survivors to Die at Sea, Leaving International Community in Shock.
In a shocking and disturbing turn of events, the United States has formally abandoned search efforts for survivors of a recent boat strike, leaving those who leapt into the Pacific Ocean to face certain death. The Coast Guard officially ended its search on Friday, citing a "declining probability of survival" as the reason for the suspension.
The US Navy's involvement in the incident began with an attack on three boats in the Pacific Ocean on December 30, resulting in at least five civilian deaths and numerous injuries. In the chaos that followed, two crew members jumped into the sea to escape the violence, but the US military claims they did not have life jackets on board.
Experts say that suspending a search for survivors is never easy, especially when the chances of survival are already slim. However, in this case, it appears that the US government deliberately chose to leave those who survived with no hope of rescue. The incident highlights concerns about the accountability and responsibility of military personnel during times of conflict.
The latest attack by the US Navy comes as part of a broader campaign of military operations targeting narco-terrorist vessels in the Caribbean and Pacific. Critics have accused the Trump administration of orchestrating an "authoritarian takeover" of the government, with loyalists appointed to key positions and media outlets banned or silenced.
In the wake of the incident, many have expressed outrage at the US government's handling of the situation. "This is not hyperbole," said William Baumgartner, a retired US Coast Guard rear admiral. "The Intercept has long covered authoritarian governments, billionaire oligarchs, and backsliding democracies around the world. We understand the challenge we face in Trump and the vital importance of press freedom in defending democracy."
As the international community continues to grapple with the implications of this incident, questions remain about the accountability of those responsible for the attack and the US government's role in covering up its actions. The Intercept will continue to investigate this story and provide updates as more information becomes available.

... I mean, think about it - these people just try to escape a life-threatening situation, and instead of getting help, they're left to fend for themselves at sea? It's like the US government has given up on them completely. And what really gets me is that there are still questions about what led up to this attack in the first place... it feels like some people are just trying to cover their tracks rather than taking responsibility for their actions.
. It's one thing when there's a misunderstanding or a mistake happens, but this feels like a deliberate choice to abandon people in distress. The fact that experts are saying it's just not realistic for them to think those survivors would make it out alive... yeah, that doesn't sit right with me.
The US Navy's excuse about "declining probability of survival" doesn't even make sense. If they really thought it was a lost cause, why didn't they at least drop off some emergency supplies or rescue teams?! 
That doesn't add up at all. I mean, you can say the chances were slim and all that, but come on, is it really that hard to keep looking? 
And what's with this "declining probability of survival" thing? Who decided that? 
Where's the proof? I need some concrete sources on this. 
Otherwise, it just sounds like a whole lot of fishy business to me... 
Like seriously how do you abandon people to die at sea? That's not even a military operation, that's just plain old cruel 
. US government should be held accountable for this one, it's not like they didn't have the means or resources to save those people 
. I mean what kind of "authoritarian takeover" is this? 
We need to know more about what really went down and who was in charge at that moment 
. This is some serious stuff and it needs to be investigated ASAP 
.
US military is supposed to protect people, not leave them to die... this is some messed up stuff 
. I mean, think about it - people just jump into the ocean to escape gunfire from a naval operation & then the search effort just gives up on them? It's like they're saying "oh well, good luck with that" 
. This whole thing just stinks of accountability issues & a cover-up...
they gotta dig deeper on this one
.
. We can't let them get away with things like this and expect everyone else to just sit back and do nothing. That's when we have to speak up and ask questions 
.
these attacks are getting out of control and it's not just the civilians who are affected, but also the international community's trust in the US 
. I'm all for keeping our government accountable, but this is just ridiculous. It's like they're trying to cover their tracks or something. I mean, what's going on here? Were there any civilians who survived and were taken in by a nearby ship? Was anyone even held accountable for the initial attack?
the fact that they ended search efforts even though chances of survival were already slim is super disturbing 
and it raises so many questions about accountability and responsibility in military operations 
and it's not just about what happened to these people but also about the fact that some ppl are trying to cover up the gov't's actions
