How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart
The 2019 operation, greenlit by President Trump, sought a strategic edge. It left unarmed North Koreans dead.

A group of Navy SEALs emerged from the ink-black ocean on a winter night in early 2019 and crept to a rocky shore in North Korea. They were on a top secret mission so complex and consequential that everything had to go exactly right.

The objective was to plant an electronic device that would let the United States intercept the communications of North Korea’s reclusive leader, Kim Jong-un, amid high-level nuclear talks with President Trump.

The mission had the potential to provide the United States with a stream of valuable intelligence. But it meant putting American commandos on North Korean soil — a move that, if detected, not only could sink negotiations but also could lead to a hostage crisis or an escalating conflict with a nuclear-armed foe.

For the operation, the military chose SEAL Team 6’s Red Squadron — the same unit that killed Osama bin Laden. The SEALs rehearsed for months, aware that every move needed to be perfect. But when they reached what they thought was a deserted shore that night, wearing black wet suits and night-vision goggles, the mission swiftly unraveled.

A North Korean boat appeared out of the dark. Flashlights from the bow swept over the water. Fearing that they had been spotted, the SEALs opened fire. Within seconds, everyone on the North Korean boat was dead.

The SEALs retreated into the sea without planting the listening device.

3. Act of war against a nation with a sorta-nuke and close to China and Russia

And that happened when where were still some military brass with brains and spines. Now? Crap, we could see him pull anything.

4. Not to worry, South Korea would get the blame for starting the 2nd Korean War

7. What?!

11. Completely sideways.

2. Reminder for context of Trump fucking around like this: DPRK's ICBMs can reach the mainland US.

And they've got more than a handful of nukes.
A + B + C = very bad time.

5. To the group we have in DC, that is probably an upside. My guess that the seal team members that went ashore were

Korean Americans

6. MFer is lucky that the Seals killed North Koreans and not the other way around

considering how Benghazi got stuck to HRC when she had fuck all to do with it.

Oh, wait. I forgot: IOKIYAR.

8. With the G.O.P.'s 5-time Draft-dodger & Felon-in-Chief in charge

there is no competence, no honor

[not fooled]

9. Wow. Gotta give red don credit for hiding this fiasco

Can you imagine if President Biden had such a thing happen while he was in office? Of course, such a dumbsh*t scheme wouldn't have gone forward.

One of red don's many talents (all bad): being good at hiding or escaping accountability for screw ups, or convincing people to not care. I swear he has some people hypnotized:
