Current estimates report that approximately 75 people were killed during Operation Absolute Resolve, including Cuban special forces who served as bodyguards for Maduro. Two civilian deaths have also been identified, though CSIS satellite imagery analysis shows that the operation focused narrowly on military targets.

    This is a disappointingly clickbait-style headline for such a respectable source.

    Also, 75 people is a lot of dead people.

    Okay, but a ‘surgical strike’ was still uncalled for and illegal, and any amount of deaths is too many.

      We’ll be performing a surgical procedure on your anus. We’ve heard it is not the best anus around, so we took the liberty of removing it without your knowledge. But it was surgical and you just need this bag of shit on you going forward.
