Other countries should just start bombing american yatchs and private jets. They’re much more likely to contain drugs.
The lawmaker pointed to the Pentagon’s admission to explain why the Trump administration “could not actually hold or try the individuals that survived one of the attacks is because they could not satisfy the evidentiary burden.”
Call me old fashioned, but I’m of the opinion that if you don’t have the evidence to try someone, you definitely don’t have the evidence to execute them.
It’s a war crime to execute suspected drug smugglers, or even to execute instead of trial someone found in possession of a large amount of drugs. There is no possible identification of anyone on board or even boat owner from high altitude.
Furthermore, many of the strikes are on speedboats that are going fast enough to plane over the water. It is impossible for any boat to go that fast with enough fuel to get to Florida, and the open cockpit boats themselves look obviously empty. This is simply, provably, pure terrorist evil.
pedantics here, wouldn’t that be a crime against humanity, rather than a war crime, since we’re not at war?
So, we’re just indiscriminately bombing fishing trawlers, got it.
Even if they were 100% certain of who they were, murdering people over drugs is fucking insane. If they’re in your territory and you want to arrest them and put them through the justice system, okay, but just straight up killing them is evil.
Wow those Epstein files must really be something. The homies are ready to WWIII us to distract from the coverup.
Yeah, that’s not what’s happening
Do you have more details on that?
I can’t think of any outcomes from these attacks that are likely to improve the US position at a strategic or tactical level.
The only potential explanations are that Trump is doing it for personal reasons. Given the long history of embattled politicians getting a “pass” during war, this seems like a highly probably explanation.
They are provoking Venezuela to strike at US military. As of why, it likely have something to do with Venezuela being revealed having the biggest oil reserves in ground, and also with their increasing cooperation with China, Iran, Russia and Cuba.
Giving random people the death penalty, for maybe or maybe not committing a crime that even if it turns out they were, doesn’t even qualify for the death penalty in either the country they are from or the country that is killing them… is so far beyond crazy… it shouldn’t have been able to happen once, let alone keep happening.
And if that wasn’t crazy enough, people that survive the strikes, can’t be legally brought in because the burden of proof isn’t met to even question them… but killing them is happening?
Yeah. That’s just called “murder”, then.
It’s murder and terrorism even if they were positively identifying drug traffickers.
So, they’re terrorists…right?
That depends. Is this still the definition of the word?

Those people are civilians of other countries… Either they are as individuals terrorists or US is at war with Venezuela. Take your pick.
Not sure which “they’re” you’re referring to, but of them already claimed they are.
That is called terrorism.
How long before the cartels start kidnapping US citizens and forcing them under duress onto fast boats?
How long til the US Govt starts blowing them away anyway?
Killing US citizens has never been a big deal for the US govt.
Especially lately.
how long until cartels
Dunno. Don’t think they’re using these boats. The whole point of smuggling is that it’s covert, you know?
how long until the us government
Exactly as long as it takes them to ejaculate at the thought. Maybe twelve seconds?
The reports say most smuggling is through containerships and air travel. Attacking the little boats is mostly bullying where violence is the point.
so … the same accuracy as our “precision drone strikes” then …
I think the glorification of the brutality is better than the indifferent platitudes, it’s almost more humanizing
Mileikowsky says it’s okay to do that
