That killing has been met with intense scrutiny and accusations of war crimes after the Washington Post reported defense secretary Pete Hegseth gave an order to “kill them all”.

🌱 I had some scientist on here seriously ask me to prove Glyphosate wasn’t lethal. Millions in lawsuits they’re paying out are enough proof for me. Monsanto funded so many fake scientific papers criticising research that posed a threat to its profits, scientists are falling for it. 🙈
A review article concluding the weed killer Roundup--aka glyphosate--“does not pose a health risk to humans” has been retracted 8 years after documents released in a court case revealed employees of Monsanto, the company that developed it, wrote the article but were not named as coauthors.

If you quote the uniformed code of conduct, you can not then be prosecuted for breaking the same code. This is not about the law, it is about trump and his goons spreading fear. They picked the wrong target. #SenatorMarkKelly is not afraid and did nothing wrong. court-martial #hegseth

Donald Trump has never been particularly critical of the Saudis, and he has always been very clear about the reasons why.
“They buy apartments from me. They spend $40 million, $50 million. Am I supposed to dislike them? I like them very much.”
