WTF is Jared Kushner doing at an official Ukrainian Peace Deal negotiation??? He’s not a member of any Cabinet. So any civilian nobody can just sit in on Government negotiations now? That can’t be legal (not that this regime cares about the law)?!

"If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder."
Here are US military lawyers stating clearly that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's "kill everybody" orders are either (1) war crimes or (2) murder.
Either way, expect prosecutions in the future.
