NO evidence to prove these are drug people. None at all. That is the purposed of due process. The Trump admin can't just indiscriminately MURDER people with the hopes this will scare actual drug criminals. I hope the international community charges Trump, Hegseth and all others involved with crimes

See this is what I hate the most. The total bending ass backwards just to get smacked a little harder by US What's the point of Nato, EU, UN etc. If they can't do anything against a genocide and will gladly help fascism?

They are being added to a list at the Criminal Courts at The Hague Crimes against humanity, open piracy and murder in International waters are just the beginning for Hegseth.

This is the same administration that was spilling plans in a group chat, so I don't trust they are doing much in the way of competent due diligence to verify these targets. I am further curious if this goes against any international laws? What about due process?

More murder. We are approaching 50 people (many or most unidentified) murdered at sea by US government forces. By reports, OLC okayed this. OLC has been betraying the national interest for a long time now.

It's called a "war crime" even though there's no declared war as such. Like, Israel never declared war exactly on Gaza. The US never declared, you know, WAR-war on Vietnam. We needed a word for "the army murdering people" that included those situations, and "war crime" is what came up.

Not a formal declaration, but Congress did authorize military action with the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution in 1964. The USA is not in an active, armed conflict with any another nation state. Calling extrajudicial killings of foreign nationals "war crimes” fails to encompass the profound evil at work.

The execution without trial in international waters of 'drug runners' is to desentisise and pave the way to to execute American 'terrorists'.

These are not attacks on ‘suspected drug cartels’ but random, ‘any little boat will do’ attacks to try & justify major military attacks. The US govt cannot present & possesses zero evidence of drug or cartel involvement. All lies.

Will never happen as similar trials should have been had for every US administration since. And given that wanting a Nuremberg trials 2.0 would mean a mostly for show trial to let the majority off and to give some minor sentences after the murders were already committed, not an effective goal

. David Cole, Professor at The Georgetown University Law Center “President Trump is “committing homicide” by killing people without trial” 📣“Trump does NOT have immunity from international prosecution!” “Nor do those people who participated in these murders” youtu.be/97r2rTLedAo?...

Thank you U.S. Military for protecting our country and citizen from illegal drugs from the drug cartels entering our country!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Damn I miss the good old days when America was a champion of due process even for suspected criminals and both our president and Secretary of Defense weren't both totally unqualified for the job, out of control, power crazy madmen! Do you know what I'm saying Bubba?

#Trumpland #DiapperDonnie #TrumpSlump Anyone watch Tom Cruise - American Made? By this reasoning .. Any boat off in int'l waters .. Or, for that reason, any light aircraft .. Can be sunk or shot down and claim .. "drug traffickers"? #ClownsIdiots

Yes, we know. Trump & his lap dummy trying hard to invite a war. Just like they are doing in US cities. No. Difference. At. All. Congress & John Roberts can go fuck themselves.

I am tired of reporters and others saying drug trafficker. Prove it! Describe them as human beings. These ppl are being obliterated out of the water and because it is the Caribbean who cannot fight back, who cares. No proof and let us remember these ppl in the Caribbean fish for their livelihood.

where's all that damned transparency they are babbling about? It looks like the USA is beginning to behave like the gangsters they set out to stop. Not that I will miss them but some legal principles ought to govern how the hunt should be effectuated.

It’s quite clear under US military law that any person giving the order to attack a civilian vessel that does not pose an immediate threat could be charged with murder, manslaughter, or dereliction of duty under UCMJ Articles 118, 119, 92.

If a Secretary of Defense knowingly ordered an act they knew to be illegal — for example, the deliberate killing of civilians at least 5 U.S. criminal statutes could apply including murder. Nuremberg 1946 Civilian and military leaders were convicted for issuing or authorizing unlawful orders.

No one expects the majority of military members to be attorneys or intelligence specialists or diplomats. If a senior officer gives an order they appear to have authority to give, the subordinate will need some overwhelming reason to disregard it. Not just some Twitter chatter and kneejerk opinion.

Because it's a myth that our military personnel are all intelligent, educated,moral people. The majority will do what they are told, many not even knowing or understanding that they have no legal right to do this.
