"America is adrift. It has no coherent foreign policy, no team of senior professionals managing its national defense and diplomacy, and a president who has little interest in the world beyond what it can offer him." @radiofreetom.bsky.social
A painful truth.

This does seem to be a violation of international law. The US could only use force lawfully against the vessel if it were engaging in an "armed attack" against the US or if an armed attack were imminent. There has been no evidence presented of such an armed attack by this vessel.
"Come to think of it, maybe MAGA world isn’t close to getting it; maybe they do get it, and maybe that’s why, this time, they’re especially angry." @radiofreetom.bsky.social

I mean honestly considering the outcome this could be very good news?
"We must hope that the administration is worrying enough; at least Rubio, for his part, seems engaged. But it would be more reassuring to see the administration focus far less on its internal grievances (and insulting our allies), and more on keeping the nuclear peace." @radiofreetom.bsky.social
