  1. Ive told you this three times. I’ve linked the relevant docs several times. You can also google “Is it a violation of Geneva convention to kill survivors of a naval attack”? But I’m pretty sure you’ll find a reason not to.
  2. The guidance that it’s a violation of the Geneva convention to kill survivors of strikes in the water. It’s in the link I posted.
  3. “The strike conducted on September 2nd was conducted in self-defense to protect Americans and vital United States interests. The strike was conducted in international waters and in accordance with the law of armed conflict,” Leavitt replied. Let me get this straight. You dont think the Geneva convention applies to armed conflict? Really?
  4. “President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have made it clear that presidentially designated narcoterrorist groups are subject to lethal targeting in accordance with the laws of war. With respect to the strikes in question on Sept. 2, Secretary Hegseth authorized Adm. Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes,” Leavitt said. Geneva convention on killing helpless unarmed combatants. https://www.justsecurity.org/125948/illegal-orders-shipwrecked-boat-strike-survivors/ These clowns cant even keep their lies straight.
  5. Sherp. This is a quote from the White house. “The strike conducted on September 2nd was conducted in self-defense to protect Americans and vital United States interests. The strike was conducted in international waters and in accordance with the law of armed conflict,” Leavitt replied.
  6. Don’t lecture me on the devastation caused by illegal drugs. I know two young men who have recently died of drug overdoses. One was my cousin’s only son. I’m all for harsh penalties, including life sentences, for drug smugglers. I also believe in the rule of law. There is no evidence whatsoever that Trump and Hegseth are following US or international law. They aren’t “strong”. They’re lawbreakers. Trump has conned the Supreme Court into saying that he isn’t subject to US laws. But Hegseth and others? They still are subject to US and international law. Even if Trump preemptively pardons Hegseth (100% chance he will), those pardons mean nothing internationally.
  7. One more time. Read the links I posted. To be clear. I do not support drug smugglers, in any way shape or form. I support the legal process, and think they should all be punished to the fullest extent of applicable laws (US or international). Even if they're buddies with other criminals. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/nov/28/trump-pardon-honduras-hernandez-drugs I do not support killing foreign nationals in international waters, who pose no clear or immediate threat to US interests.
  8. I agree. They are not combatants in the usual sense. If there is no real “war” on narcoterrorists, then DOD is illegally killing foreign nationals in international waters. DOD has shown no evidence any of these boats were even headed to the US. in fact at least one was clearly headed to Trinidad. US has no standing or authority for these extrajudicial killings in international waters. US is not, and should not be, the world’s policeman. Read the above links. Trump admin has been caught in their convoluted web of lies and half truths.
  9. Problem here is that Trump and his administration are chronic liars. They've gotten trapped in their own lies. The pretext for the boat strikes given by the War Secretary and the Dept of War is that the US is engaged in a war on narcoterrorism . Thus they can shoot whatever vessels they deem to be enemy ships. Thus making the operators of said ships enemy combatants. Of course, this isnt simply my opinion. Here's of few from Republican and Independent senators. I'm sure that you can find quotes from Tucker and random bloggers who say "nothing to see here, move along".

  10. Im guessing Geneva Convention wasn’t taught at Trump University. https://ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/ihl-treaties/gcii-1949/article-12/commentary/2017 Fool.
  11. Seems like you and your droogs don’t understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty.
  12. No one touched 6. is he just getting a breather for defens
