8/ A public service reminder:
This entire exercise is an absurd, imaginary world for legal experts.
That's because the truth is:
It's not an armed conflict.
The laws of war thus don't apply.
The more restrictive rules of human rights apply.
It's extrajudicial killing under that law.

3/ First it's absurd on its face that communicating to be RESCUED is a hostile act.
That's the definition of being shipwrecked and helpless.
The whole point of a legal prohibition on killing people who are shipwrecked is that they must be rescued or left to be rescued instead.

Whee! The most right wing government in the history of #Finland is set to break one more record. This time, our unemployment numbers are climbing to become highest in the EU and surpass Spain’s!
Just recently our stable geniuses guided Finland to be the *only* developed economy without growth.

Compare the administration reaction to the murders of Melissa and Mark Hortman to the response to the guard shooter. It doesn't exactly dispel the belief that they were waiting for this to happen.

I think Trump really believes the presidency imbues him with a super power to deem the innocent as guilty and the guilty as "treated very unfairly."

The house and senate have both expressed interest in investigating the strike on survivors of the first boat strike.
Both Hegseth and adm Bradley will need to answer some questions.
This is why a reminder to not follow illegal orders is important

Just because Trump brought RFK Jr. aboard to firm up the kook vote doesn't mean health writers have to keep looking for some kernel of truth in there somewhere.

Unprincipled and weak. The murder of journalists is perhaps the single most direct violation of the right to freedom of speech. (1/2)
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Lovely way to brush off a gruesome, sadistic murder as a small faux pas while simultaneously blaming the victim.
