The boat was not on a course for the USA. Even if they were, there is no law allowing for the summary execution of the occupants. Perfidy is strictly prohibited under Article 37 of Additional Protocol I (1977) to the Geneva Conventions, which bans killing, injuring, or capturing an adversary...

Uh-huh. They were forced to buy and take those drugs. How many people die each year from the products of big tobacco? Alcohol? Not like combat or war at all. It's the black market that allows it. The black market was created by the law of prohibition. Just like the poisonous alcohol sold...

I don't. I don't support the summary execution of those accused of it. The suspects should be interdicted and if found guilty, incarcerated according to the law. Nice hollow accusation on your part however. Do you support extra judicial executions of suspected drug smugglers?

Has Congress passed a new law making smuggling recreational drugs a capital crime? Have they ever walked into a bar, or a pizza parlor and set off a Cocaine bomb to immediately kill and maim Americans or, are Americans willingly buying and using their illicit and unregulated product?

Carried out an extra judicial killing of 11 people who were allegedly committing the non Capital offense of smuggling contraband.

In reality, not only did the state change the rules about voting at any county polling location, but also they changed the voting districts and posted the wrong map on their website. Either very sneaky or very dumb.

Ah you want more, Zippy? The US also illegally used an aircraft painted like a civilian plane in the attack on an alleged drug-smuggling boat.

Here you go, Skippy. Damn that was hard to find too.....Notice what it does not include. The definition of the crime of piracy is contained in article 101 of UNCLOS, which reads as follows: ''Piracy consists of any of the following acts: (a) any illegal acts of violence or detention, or...

Patently false. "In reality, piracy has a precise legal definition under the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea. It refers to acts of robbery or violence committed for private ends on the high seas. A vessel without a flag is not a pirate ship by default, nor does international law grant...

Nope, non-flagged (stateless) vessels are not automatically considered pirates, but they are treated similarly under international law. While not all, unflagged ships lack the protection of a flag-state, allowing any nation to intercept, board, and investigate them on the high seas to combat...

It is in a mature forest. We've cut down most of the old forests that reached it. So anything growing in it's place is sucking CO2 from the atmosphere. We also sequester CO2 when we build with wood. The oceans are a carbon sink. Their ability to reduce atmospheric CO2 is limited. I remember...

.....making them subject to boarding, inspection, and seizure by any country's warships, not sinking and then the delibrate killing of everyone on board with repeated air strikes.

Donald Trump did not reverse or repeal the Executive Order (EO 12333) that prohibits the United States from engaging in the assassination of foreign leaders. Is international drug smuggling a capital crime worthy of summary execution for just the allegation of the crime? Is that the Hague calling?

When the resulting homeostatasis is reached, there is no more reduction in the CO2 levels.

If the current trend continues Greenland's Ice sheet will melt in about a thousand years. So, for the living, not much "what" there. Just think, if that holds true in about ten thousand years the southern iced sheet will melt too. So what. If is the key. If is the most powerful word in the...
