This is some extremely sweaty bullshit
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.
Admiral told lawmakers everyone on alleged drug boat was on a list of military targets
Adm. Frank Bradley said U.S. intelligence had identified the 11 people on the boat and determined the military was authorized to kill them as part of Trump’s campaign against alleged drug-smuggling vessels.

This is a straightforward description of both the war crime and its motivation. They would have been imminently rescued by friendly forces, so Bradley acted to kill them as they floated helplessly in the water.

You can’t intentionally target the shipwrecked. That’s the crime. the fact they were targeting the shipwrecked people (as opposed to the cocaine, an excuse they offered publicly before) makes it worse.

Pretty convenient that they said that they confirmed all their identities beforehand but there is no way of knowing that is true because they were blown to bits. Also, how is a boat heading south a danger to the US? Total bullshit

Meiselas: The official Trump U.S. National Security Strategy document has been released. The document says a top priority of the U.S. is "cultivating resistance to Europe's current trajectory." In other words, to destroy the European Union.

There are so many holes in DHS’s story it’s nuts. They say this woman was driving her boyfriend’s car, who they claim is undocumented.
ICE pulls her over, see she’s alone, know they are looking for a man, and still handcuff her while she screams “I am a US citizen,”.
Why is ICE harassing women?
