I mean, Trump really wants to jettison people like Hegseth, but he’s trying to portray a more stable approach in Trump 2.0 and avoid the “you’re fired!” beliefs that drive his thinking. I wonder to what degree he’s actually trying to get Republicans to sign off and not object.

I’m sure he popped a chubby when he shared that detail. Cruelty and war crimes turn him on. That’s why Dementia Don is always so tired.

The Geneva Conventions define “shipwrecked” broadly as military personnel or civilians in peril at sea or in other waters due to a misfortune affecting them or their vessel/aircraft, provided they refrain from hostility; this covers anything from sinking to forced landings, demanding rescue and humane treatment without distinction. The Second Geneva Convention (GC II) specifically protects them, extending the battlefield’s medical care to naval warfare, requiring prompt, non-discriminatory attention and treating them humanely, even if they become Prisoners of War if captured.
In other words… firing on the vessel the second time was a war crime.

Amazing how this administration continues to chug along with strikes that on a whole are all war crimes or crimes against humanity (since we’re not really at war). These are all just extrajudicial executions and I’m surprised the world as a whole isn’t making a bigger deal of it. We are officially the bad guys now.

I like how everyone is debating the minutia while the original act — murdering people in cold-blood on completely unproven, untested grounds in international waters — is ***already*** a war crime and against international and American law. The first act demonstrated that the US is a terrorist state, no better than Hamas.

Bla bla blaaaa ! He’s enjoying watching people that he ordered being murdered and won’t release or tell the truth about what happened

We can be outraged all we want.
Nothing will be done about this. Ever.
Next issue.

There was zero indication they were heading to the US or that there were even was a drug shipment on it. They just acted like lunatics and attacked people without just cause

Damn, the President of Peace is out here committing war crimes? Totally shocked 🙄

Sure, the second strike is a war crime, but what about the first one?
We do this too much. It’s like how we start the abortion debate with medical necessity instead of bodily autonomy. Giving up so much ground in the debate without a fight.

First strike, second strike they’re both war crimes.
