πŸ’© Shit’s About To Get Real

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
As usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland.

As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.

The Biden administration preferred the kid gloves approach, allowing millions of people — including dangerous cartels and unvetted Afghans — to flood our communities with drugs and violence. The Trump administration has sealed the border and gone on offense against narco-terrorists. Biden coddled terrorists, we kill them.

Our current operations in the Caribbean are lawful under both U.S. and international law, with all actions in compliance with the law of armed conflict—and approved by the best military and civilian lawyers, up and down the chain of command.

Our warriors in SOUTHCOM put their lives on the line every day to protect the Homeland from narco-terrorists — and I will ALWAYS have their back.
The US military carried out a follow-up strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean on September 2, killing survivors of the initial strike, sources said.

People briefed on the “double-tap” strike said they were concerned that it could violate the law of armed conflict, which prohibits the execution of an enemy combatant who is “hors de combat,” or taken out of the fight due to injury or surrender.
Tom Nichols:
You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
Or there won’t be any such thing as shit.πŸ’©

  1. I get the strongest feeling that the Trump v United States majority either were too stupid to understand what their impunity for Trump matched with his (and I wouldn't be surprised if it's theirs too) understanding of the pardon power would mean for utter lawlessness for Trump and his goons or that they approve of it. I'm sure if Roberts or any of the others were ever forced to answer for the consequences of their decision they'd feign either ignorance or claim that the consequences were irrelevant to their decision, putting responsibility on the long dead framers, I'm sure even li'l miss trad Catholic, ACB would hide behind some legal bull shit to deny moral responsibility for what she concurred in. Such is why I have lost all respect for the legal profession and the law.
