I mean, Trump really wants to jettison people like Hegseth, but he’s trying to portray a more stable approach in Trump 2.0 and avoid the „you’re fired!“ beliefs that drive his thinking. I wonder to what degree he’s actually trying to get Republicans to sign off and not object.
Lock him up?
I’m sure he popped a chubby when he shared that detail. Cruelty and war crimes turn him on. That’s why Dementia Don is always so tired.
> It looks like they are trying to turn the boat back over
The Geneva Conventions define „shipwrecked“ broadly as military personnel or civilians in peril at sea or in other waters due to a misfortune affecting them or their vessel/aircraft, provided they refrain from hostility; this covers anything from sinking to forced landings, demanding rescue and humane treatment without distinction. The Second Geneva Convention (GC II) specifically protects them, extending the battlefield’s medical care to naval warfare, requiring prompt, non-discriminatory attention and treating them humanely, even if they become Prisoners of War if captured.
In other words… firing on the vessel the second time was a war crime.
Amazing how this administration continues to chug along with strikes that on a whole are all war crimes or crimes against humanity (since we’re not really at war). These are all just extrajudicial executions and I’m surprised the world as a whole isn’t making a bigger deal of it. We are officially the bad guys now.
I like how everyone is debating the minutia while the original act — murdering people in cold-blood on completely unproven, untested grounds in international waters — is ***already*** a war crime and against international and American law. The first act demonstrated that the US is a terrorist state, no better than Hamas.
Bla bla blaaaa ! He’s enjoying watching people that he ordered being murdered and won’t release or tell the truth about what happened
We can be outraged all we want.
Nothing will be done about this. Ever.
Next issue.
There was zero indication they were heading to the US or that there were even was a drug shipment on it. They just acted like lunatics and attacked people without just cause
>“Well it looked like they were trying to turn back over the boat,” Trump said, contradicting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s story.” “But I’m not involved in that, that’s up to them.”
Hegseth, meet bus
And what exactly is anyone going to do about it?
Damn, the President of Peace is out here committing war crimes? Totally shocked 🙄
Sure, the second strike is a war crime, but what about the first one?
We do this too much. It’s like how we start the abortion debate with medical necessity instead of bodily autonomy. Giving up so much ground in the debate without a fight.
He’ll forget he did this by dinner time

““Well it looked like they were trying to turn back over the boat,” Trump said, contradicting Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s story.” “But I’m not involved in that, that’s up to them.”
The buck stops- anywhere but here.
The Trump administration, in a secret memo, has claimed that the U.S. is in a „non-international armed conflict“ with TdA.
Nobody outside the administration accepts this. What is happening [does not meet the criteria for such a conflict](https://www.undrr.org/understanding-disaster-risk/terminology/hips/so0102).
Let’s stop repeating the lie that we’re somehow at war, by calling these boat killings „war crimes.“ There is no war. No declared war.
There is nothing that rises to the standard of a non-international armed conflict, as the Trump administration speciously claims. We’re not at war. There is no war. Ergo, no war crimes.
By referring to these as „war crimes,“ we legitimize the lie that we are somehow „at war“ with drug cartels and while „drug war“ makes for a great metaphor and a great marketing term, the United States is not „at war“ with the cartels under any definition within international or domestic law. Saying that we are „at war“ legitimizes all of the strikes.
It was simple murder, under U.S. domestic law and international human rights violations. The first strike, the second, and all the other ones.
So far, we have two counts of „war crimes“ – the 2 initial survivors of the Sept 2nd attack. But 87 people have been killed to date – that’s 87 counts of murder.

It all boils down to whether or not they were a threat. We all know the answer.
Get this guy another „peace prize“! /s
To me, it looks like the administration is trying to send a message to the drug trafficking organizations that getting safe passage will cost them. You know how the gangs collect a fee for keeping the stores safe by making them pay a fee.
These idiots can’t do war, or crime, or warcrimes worth a damn. There is no upside strategically or politically to blowing up boats, period. There is no win here to be had. This is the stupidest fucking shit I have ever seen
>trump confirms
Gonna need a credible source, sorry
Where are those Epstein files?
>Stein said he disagrees with some who have argued that the strikes amount to war crimes.
>“We are not in a war, and so any discussion of these illegal strikes as war crimes is inaccurate,“ he said. „The law of armed conflict does not apply to these strikes. They are premeditated killings outside of the context of armed conflict, and we have a legal concept for that conduct. It’s murder.”

> Maybe Trump sees the writing on the wall and is just trying to absolve himself of any guilt before this goes any further. Or maybe he really is tired of Hegseth and his strike first, think later decision-making style.
Why does even liberal-leaning media try to give trump credit for a cogent thought?
The real answer is that it is neither of these things. Someone asked him a question about a video he saw and he described it. Just like my 4yo would. That’s it. There is literally no further thought than that.
It’s amazing that 30% of Americans support this guy.
I hit by the time this is all over!!! $ oh yeah
Gotta love all these „confirmations“ to his crimes, but 0 accountability for them. Brazil and South Korea have the correct mechanisms in place to deal with fascists. We clearly don’t.
Wait… so Trump is actually saying ‘yep, that second strike happened and they were trying to flip the boat over’ — which means this wasn’t some accidental blow-up, but a deliberate kill-switch? wild
The only thing Trump is verifying is how to blame the Democrats for this !
Sinaloa and NGJC have submarines, and they prepared for Trump by moving drugs between native reservations.
11 people in this Boston Whaler? Where were all the drugs?
