This is actually a relevant factor here: it's been pretty clear SOUTHCOM, whose commander resigned, has been pushing back, at least somewhat. They're putting it under the operational command of SOCOM specifically because that's the most already rotten place you'll find people happy to do crimes.
Why do you need Seal Team 6 to blow up a fucking boat?
This would be an unambiguous war crime even in a proper war against a real enemy’s navy.

If the U.S. was at war, Pete Hegseth's order would be a war crime, a military lawyer said. Instead, it might just be murder. wapo.st/49KbUJ1

We have to deal with the unfortunate fact that synagogues and mosques alike will be used to promote extremism on behalf of Israel and Palestine, respectively.
However, sectarian extremism is part of religious freedom - up to a point.

April 13, 2024. Iran launches hundreds of drones and missiles against Israel. Almost none hits. No one is killed. No critical infrastructure is destroyed. It was not a failure. As I argue, this is performative aggression, a game of bumper cars in a world long defined by games of chicken.
Iran is using familiar weapons in ways that create unfamiliar dilemmas for its rivals.

Damn, X FKA Twitter is a swamp of ignorant bigots and grifters.
You can cull all of the foreign accounts masquerading as Westerners and it won't change the sad fact that the West is full of its own extremists.

The people who claim Polish collaboration and "Polish death camps" seem unable to explain what they mean by "Poland" and "Poles" during the Holocaust. Even the last Polish census (1931) is unsatisfactory...

The usual American left-wing suspects cannot contain their glee at the Mamdani-Trump meeting.
Of course, anyone liberal or "establishment" Democrat paying homage to Trump would be considered class treason.
Kamala Harris is still a traitor for being seen with Liz Cheney.
