Pete Hegseth lashes out at 'kill them all' report on boat strikes

[Lesh]

On what basis do you question their intel

Their lack of proof

 

[Hafar1014]

Their lack of proof

You have to prove that

 

[M14 Shooter]

Their lack of proof

Why do you refuse to understand the fact they have not shown you any proof does not mean they have no proof?

 

[Stann]

You have to prove that

No they are being investigated , they have to prove it was legtimate. And their story keeps changing by the minute making it even more suspicious.

 

[Lesh]

Why do you refuse to understand the fact they have not shown you any proof does not mean they have no proof?

So you just go with blind faith in Dear Leader

 

[Mack The Finger]

Gettimg ready for another entrapment statement from you.

Is that the whole point of cyber debating ?

 

[postman]

On what basis do you question their intel

That a boat carrying a ton of people, instead of a ton of drugs. That they were fellow narco-terrorists, and not passengers.

 

[Mack The Finger]

Everything is better since Trump was elected. Biden was a total disaster

Great post !

 

[M14 Shooter]

So you just go with blind faith in Dear Leader

You avoided the question, as you always do:
Why do you refuse to understand the fact they have not shown you any proof does not mean they have no proof?

Well?

 

[Mack The Finger]

So you think Harris and Walz would be better.

Maybe than a dose of the clap.

 

[Stann]

Is that the whole point of cyber debating ?

It must be for you.

 

[Lesh]

You have to prove that

I don’t have to prove that they have provided no proof. Even you admit that

 

[Mack The Finger]

They would have started to heal this nation , people wouldn't be hating each other as much and they would be working together for a change. Continuing all the progress Biden made.

Yiu're a hack !

What was it ObamaChrist called us and that clinging to bible and guns thing.

Well?

Being totally transparent and putting all their cards on the table would be nice but as Hegseth said today he may NEVER release that tape. Ask yourself , why would he say that ? He has proven once again just how big a fuckup he is. And he's dragging the military down with him.

 

[Mack The Finger]

It must be for you.

I shall put you on shunn...Stann...you will be much more cyber happy !

Better yet leave the platform entirely , you add nothing to it. Good bye !

The last time they had "narco-terrorist" survivors, they released them back to their home country, that didn't have any grounds to arrest them on.

 

[postman]

So you just go with blind faith in Dear Leader

Plus that blind faith has to be very flexible.
As their story has changed half a dozen times.
That the boat heading to the US, was actually traveling south, and not north.

Details.

Changing the story line so many times makes the source lack any credibility.

A boat in international waters that is not running a national flag is categorized in international law the same way a pirate is. Such boats have absolutely no national or international protections, and you cannot commit a war crime against them.
A vessel in international waters is required under UNCLOS to sail under the flag of a specific nation. If it does not, it is legally considered a stateless vessel. A stateless vessel has no right to the protections normally afforded to ships under a national flag, including immunity from interference by other states.
UNCLOS Articles 92, 94, 110, and customary maritime law spell out the consequences clearly:
1. Stateless vessels have no sovereign protection. A flagged ship is an extension of its flag-state’s sovereignty. A stateless vessel is not. This matters because “war crimes” presuppose protected persons or protected property. A stateless vessel is legally unprotected.
2. Any state may stop, board, search, seize, or disable, a stateless vessel. UNCLOS Article 110 explicitly authorizes boarding and seizure. The law does not require states to risk their own personnel or assets while doing so. Disabling a vessel that refuses inspection, including firing on it, is legally permitted under both UNCLOS and long-established state practice.
3. War crimes require an armed conflict. You cannot commit a “war crime” outside an armed conflict. War crimes occur only within the context of international humanitarian law (IHL). Enforcing maritime law against a stateless vessel is a law enforcement action, not an IHL situation.
No armed conflict = no war crime possible.
4. Lethal force may be used when a vessel refuses lawful orders. The International Maritime Organization’s “Use of Force” guidance for maritime interdiction recognizes that disabling fire, even lethal force, is lawful when a vessel refuses lawful boarding, attempts to flee, poses a threat, or engages in illicit activities such as piracy or narcotics trafficking.
Once again: law enforcement rules apply, not IHL.
5. Sinking a stateless vessel is not prohibited by UNCLOS. UNCLOS permits seizure of a stateless vessel and leaves the means entirely to the enforcing state so long as necessity and proportionality are respected. If the vessel flees, attacks, or refuses lawful commands, sinking it is legally permissible. Many states routinely do this to drug-smuggling vessels (e.g., semi-submersibles) without it ever being treated as a war crime.
6. No flag = no jurisdictional shield. The entire reason international law requires ships to fly a flag is to prevent this exact situation. Flagless vessels are legally vulnerable by design.
Because a stateless vessel has no protected status, because UNCLOS authorizes interdiction of such vessels, because lethal force may be used in maritime law enforcement when necessary, and because war crimes require an armed conflict that is not present here, sinking an unflagged ship in international waters is not a war crime.
