Grim is using a nazi tattoo as a prompt to troll antifascists, Jewish people, women, South Asians. the totenkampf becomes this symbol to justify demeaning marginalized people. which is literally its purpose.

If this is true, that the Iranian vessel was returning from an international exercise with other countries INCLUDING the United States - and was thus unarmed - & that the US did not make efforts to rescue the crew, that makes Hegseth the "Secretary of War Crimes"
