So yeah I am curious how experts see these boat strikes as different from the Gulf of Tonkin “incident” in this sense, that we’ve shot first and created a situation where Venezuela would be justified in armed response
Let me rephrase this, bc I think I put this very imprecisely:
I don’t think a state of armed conflict predated the boat strikes. I think the boat strikes constitute the crime of aggression and have created an undeclared state of armed conflict between the United States and Venezuela.

If prosecution fails systematically, the demand for justice will find its own paths. Like water, it can be contained, but not indefinitely and when it rises, all will be swept before it.
It's cute, reading all these anguished cries: "when this is all over, these guys need to go to jail!" I remember saying that during Bush I crimes, and during Bush II crimes, and during Trump I crimes.
Guess how many of those guys went to jail.

Since Stephen Miller is in the midst of another of his Aryans-only trantrums, we should note that his family are 20th century immigrants from the shtetl of Antopol (Антопаль) then in the Hrodna gubernia of Russia. Applying his immigration rules, they would all have perished in the Holocaust.

Killing is bad, and to that end I'd like to call attention to the dozens killed in small boats in the southern Caribbean by the Trump Administration and the estimated 600,000 who've died of preventable disease and starvation thanks to the administration's destruction of USAID.
