  • Pete Hegseth says he didn't see survivors in the September boat strike because of 'the fog of war'

  • Because there could not be a more cut-and-dry example of an illegal order than firing on helpless shipwrecked survivors, that's why.

  • I'm only phrasing it that way because people who I assume know much better than me what this is all about made the following conclusion (emphasis mine):

    The Sept. 2 strikes on the purported drug boat neither violated the law of armed conflict nor amounted to war crimes, because they did not occur during an armed conflict. However, if the facts are as reported, there is little question that the order by Secretary Hegseth and the ensuing order by Admiral Bradley to conduct the second strike were unlawful, because the killing of the two survivors was a serious violation of international human rights law.

    Moreover, both orders were clearly unlawful. Under well-established law, those who complied with the orders cannot escape individual criminal responsibility for the killing of the two survivors in the event they are brought to trial in a U.S. military court-martial, a federal trial, or a domestic criminal proceeding in another State that has jurisdiction, for instance, based on the nationality of the victims. If actually issued, these orders irresponsibly and unlawfully placed all those involved in the attack in serious legal jeopardy. If the reporting is accurate, those orders should, as a matter of law, have been refused.

    personally, I don't disagree that this feels like a war crime, it was ordered by the SecDef, after all, with a whole chain of command and everything. But according to these experts, who's analysis I trust to be way better than mine, this doesn't officially fall under the category war crime. Crime? Yes. Crime against humanity? You betcha. Massive international human rights violation? All day baby. But technically not a war crime, by the strict definition. But if you prefer the colloquial definition of "if a soldier is ordered to do it, it's a war crime" I can't say I really disagree with you.

    Edit: yeah ok dang dudes I'm not like, in charge of what is what, I'm just quoting information I thought was well-sourced and well-reasoned from some extremely qualified experts. If you want to send your corrections in to this institute and argue with them if you think your knowledge is superior to theirs , then please do so with my blessing. He's a Professor of International Law at the University of Reading, Affiliate at Harvard Law School’s Program on International Law and Armed Conflict, and Visiting Research Professor at the International Institute of Humanitarian Law, so best of luck. For myself I'm literally saying I can't disagree that this sounds like a war crime so be chill.

  • I'm really dreading the wild things he might try right before the midterms to alleviate this or distract from this, because this is the killer issue for Trump and he knows it damn well. Fingers crossed that the worse he does is drop the prime rate to 0 and print 5 or 6 trillion new dollars.

  • You have to hunt for the deals there, like anywhere, and be willing to break up and freeze/preserve big packages of things. Most items are a little cheaper than retail, but somethings are vastly cheaper for the quality you get than a Walmart or Krogers.
