Just talked to @andykimnj.bsky.social, who was a counter-terrorism coordinator at the NSC. "I do not see a legal basis for how [the boat killings] unfolded," he said. "They know what they're doing is wrong & trying to deceive the American people about it."

The Most Dangerous Corporation in America
Please help spread the word

Itβs called Palantir Technologies, a Silicon Valley tech company that may put your most basic freedoms at risk. robertreich.substack.com/p/the-most-d...

The wholesale murder of people in international waters, without due process, is a crime.
If left unchecked, it will lead to more such crimes.
This is how things work.
Letting them get away with it is the same as giving them permission to keep doing it.

What does it say about us that an anonymous GOP legislator says he can't go against Trump because he'd rather not get his house firebombed by supporters of the president? This is not an imagined threat. In April, the governor's mansion of Josh Shapiro was set on fire, His family was forced to flee.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Van Hollen: "It's either murder from the first strike if their whole theory is wrong, and I think the weight of the legal opinion is they've concocted this ridiculous legal theory. But even if you accept it, then it is a war crime. I do believe the secretary of defense should be held accountable"

The problem with the President of the United States is not that he used the word βretardβ in a tweet. The problem is that 77.3 million people voted for him knowing well what he was, is, and would be. No President of any party or religion or region or indeed intellect has been less fit for a vote.

Lawmakers Suggest Follow-Up Boat Strike Could Be a War Crime
Top Republicans have joined Democrats in demanding answers about the escalating military campaign the Trump administration says is aimed at targeting drug traffickers.
A top Republican and Democrats in Congress suggested on Sunday that U.S. military officials might have committed a war crime in President Trumpβs offensive against boats in the Caribbean after a Washington Post report said that during one attack, a follow-up strike was ordered to kill survivors.
