The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

Not like it would be justified if they were drug smugglers, but I think it hasn't gotten enough focus that a boat with 11 people onboard heading from Venezuela to Trinidad was almost certainly migrants. These were probably, at least for some of them, people fleeing Maduro. That's who they murdered.

Himes: They posed zero threat to anyone in the region, and we killed them.
Himes: It was exceedingly hard to watch. Even if you stipulate that it is a war, there is a very specific prohibition against killing individuals who have been removed from the fight. And there is no question that these individuals were removed from the fight.

Murderers who admit they're going to"kill people," "kill them all."

Second strike wasn't about removing combatants, it was about removing witnesses abd evidence.
But then the Hegseth dolts start showing off their own incriminating video. You can't dream up that level of stupid.

(🚨) MAJOR BREAKING NEWS: The WSJ confirms that in the leadup to Pete Hegseth's serial war crimes in the Caribbean, he made clear to commanders that our military code *was not to be followed*—no questions were to be asked of any orders. It led to the resignation of the top commander in the Caribbean.

"Jackson Heights neighbors stood up to ICE this morning, who reportedly posted up early to try and grab parents walking their kids to school.

There's an old saying we all learn growing up in New York City.

We're teaching it to ICE, too: GTFOH"

By invading Ukraine in 2014, Russia violated the Agreement on Friendship/Cooperation/Partnership 1997

The first major ceasefire agreement, signed on 5/9/2014 in Minsk, was broken within hours of being signed.

This prompted the second attempted truce, known as Minsk-2, but it was even shorter.

This timing makes a lot more sense now, doesn’t it?

Adm. Alvin Holsey resigned in October as commander of U.S. Southern Command right after flagging concerns about those U.S. military strikes on “suspected” drug boats in the Caribbean.

He served for 37 years.

Nenshi - So are you messing with recall or what's the deal?
Smith - Yeah, we're making some changes on Thursday, but what I really want to talk about is how much the NDP hurt the coal companies. #cdnpoli

Hegseth's response to a potential war crimes scandal is to praise Admiral Mitch Bradley as a hero while throwing him under the bus to avoid the backlash.

Every officer watching has learned to expect zero loyalty and accountability from the Secretary of Defense when the heat turns up.

“I stand by him and the combat decisions he has made,” the Secretary of Defense said, as he has come under scrutiny for a potentially illegal command.

Right!! Our NDP leader, @carlabecksk.bsky.social said she will be asking the Sask gov't. for answers. Moe and his ilk have been slowly privatizing our healthcare and doesn't show any compassion to anyone... unless forced publicly. Can't wait 'til the next election. You've got Smith, you get it.
