Is a retroactive, dubiously legal justification for extra legal killings a thing?

[Mac-7]

Wait… weapons are not required here but were on Jan 6?

You turds need to find more consistent arguments

Not really

No one is trying to open your closed mind

We’re just pointing out the facts

 

[SweetTea]

Wait… weapons are not required here but were on Jan 6?

By the way, fentanyl could be classified as a chemical weapon, so even if you want go down the road of weapons are required(which they aren’t), you lose there too.

 

[Lesh]

I don’t think anybody said the actions of Jan. 6th weren’t hostile, they just weren't trying to overthrow the government as you meatheads have said.

Over and over you turds claimed that since there were no guns used , it couldn’t have been that bad

And now you claim that WARS… don’t require guns being used

We wouldn’t be a war with a country that attacked us with chemical weapons?

That’s one helluva stretch

And oh by the way… no evidence that fentanyl and not coke was on those boats

In either case naval interdiction is the correct way to deal with that

You mean like the strikes in Yemen, Syria, Libya, etc etc? How is what this admin is doing in SA any different than what past admins have done in (insert foreign country here) over the past 25 years?

Step 1. Name a group of people terrorists

Step 2. Bomb them


Thats it. No more steps.

US operations in Libya under Obama was a NATO-led, multilateral mission to carry out a UN Security Council resolution.

The legal definition of hostilities does not require arms. If an action causes death or destruction to the US or its citizens, that is hostile. Weapons are not required. Bringing drugs and fentanyl to the US, which undoubtedly harms Americans, is a hostile act by every legal and reasonable definition.

Also, the US Constitution purposely does not define war as an armed conflict.

This retired judge is making things up to suit a political narrative. If this case was brought to an unbiased court, it would be cut and dry, but we have a lot of leftist activists judges just as biased as this retired one.

The vagueness of what constitutes "hostilities" under the War Powers Resolution is the opening thru which the regime is trying to drive a truck. It's argument being that since US troops are not being put in harm's way the WPR doesn't apply. Unfortunately for the regime, the question of whether the WPR applies or not does not absolve it of violations of other, more specific, US and international law.

Geoffrey S. Corn, a retired judge advocate general lawyer who was formerly the Army’s senior adviser for law-of-war issues, said drug cartels were not engaged in “hostilities” — the standard for when there is an armed conflict for legal purposes — against the United States because selling a dangerous product is different from an armed attack.

 

[sartre play]

Just like drugs, guns, poverty & politics. We pick sides, go with the flow & NEVER work together for useful solutions.
As WAS the way we attempted to set up solutions. In this country called the UNITED states of America.

Show me in the Constitution where that matters... And we ran that coup in Libya to give Hilary her war chops. She would have run on that during her campaign were it not such an utter cluster ****.

How about the bombing of Yemen at the behest of the Saudi's? Was that NATO led and carrying out a UN SC resolution? BTW in Yemen we targeted and killed a US citizen and his kid.

Syria?

This admin is using the same justification the other ones used. Your problem is that the President is bombing foreign nationals under the guise that they pose some threat to the US it's which President is doing it.

The retired judge is wrong...plain and simple. Drug cartels are, by the legal definition, engaged in hostile activities towards the US and it's citizens. The standard has nothing to do with it being an armed conflict. Just for giggles, let's say it does require weapons. Are chemical weapons not weapons? Why wouldn't fentanyl be classified as such? We couldn't go to war with a country that unleashed chemical weapons on the US?

Trump hasn’t stopped anything

Drugs from Venezuela have been significantly reduced. Why couldnt Biden do that? Could he even do anything. Its clear democrats dont care about drugs or the deaths they cause

Significantly reduced? Prove it.

And prove it was fentanyl (which was supposed to be the point)

While the entire nation of Venezuela suffers from a severe, long-standing economic and political crisis, the seaside town of Guiria has been specifically identified in recent reports as a community whose economy, which relies heavily on maritime activities, has been negatively impacted by increased surveillance and U.S. anti-drug operations.

19 boats destroyed. Operations shifting to land based. Thats all sgnificant what have democrats done? Nothing

You were supposed to prove that drug imports to the US have been “significantly reduced” and that these boat bombings we’re on boats carrying fentanyl.

You did neither

Those figures havent come out yet but past numbers prove record deaths under Biden. So democrats already are the cause of increased record drug deaths.
Now the border is closed and Trump is actually fighting a war against drugs even you can see deaths will decline this year.
