โ€ข If the U.S. military operation to interdict and destroy suspected narcotraFicking vessels is a โ€œnon-international armed conflict,โ€ as the Trump Administration suggests, orders to โ€œkill everybody,โ€ which can reasonably be regarded as an order to give โ€œno quarter,โ€ and
to โ€œdouble-tapโ€ a target in order to kill survivors, are clearly illegal under international law. In short, they are war crimes.
โ€ข If the U.S. military operation is not an armed conflict of any kind, these orders to kill helpless civilians clinging to the wreckage of a vessel our military destroyed would subject everyone from SECDEF down to the individual who pulled the trigger to prosecution under U.S. law for murder.

Post image Highlighted sentence at the end of the document reads:

Again, the bottom line is that, since orders to kill survivors of an attack at sea are โ€œpatently illegal,โ€ anyone who issues or follows such orders can and should be prosecuted for war crimes, murder, or both.

Former US military lawyers speak out:

"The Former JAGs Working Group unanimously considers both the giving and the execution of these orders, if true, to constitute war crimes, murder, or both."

๐Ÿ“ŒThe National Guard should have never been in DC., and neither should have the demented Trump, whose failure to deploy the Guard Jan., 6, 2021, while law enforcement was being beaten, our Capitol battered, and lawmakers threatened with death was treason.

Trump later said he loved the attackers.

Someone is making an ad with a montage of Trump verbally attacking journalists, right? (Ideally going back to Trump 1.0.) That should basically play on repeat from now until next November. I am so sick of this
