War Crimes for Trump and Hegseth?

[Stryder50]

Which questions are you responding to now? Ever read about WWI? American Civil War? Total War?

My questions were in post #(124) first. Which you responded to but did not answer. So...pony up.

Quantrill

My answer was in my post you just quoted.
Would appear your English comprehension skills are sub-par.
I'm likely more read up on; "WWI? American Civil War? Total War?" than you are.
My question was how do you answer the questions you asked in #124.

Ok. Warfare evolving changes nothing about 'murder' during war.

Gee, then why the ? marks.

The American public has seen nothing to back your suggestion, nor any other proof. You morons will accept any illegal murder, as long as not your personal kin, or maybe even then.
What do you think about Pete and the Seal Admiral, ordering 2nd strike to kill survivors in the water. Do you approve killing survivors in the water after the first rocket attack on the boat? Is that legal, also, killing survivors clinging to wreckage out in the ocean?

so if a terrorist compound is hit by the US in a drone strike and a few of the said terrorists are seen hiding behind the the rubble or running away they shouldnt be hit with another strike ?

Right, right, you have to believe, and if you click your heels 3 times in your ruby slippers, maybe you will wake up, back in Kansas.

I guess you have overwhelming evidence that those boats with rapped packages visible to the naked eye in the military footage released are nothing more than fishermen moving at high speed that forgot to bring their fishing equipment ... enlighten us on where and how you got this info ..

I love it when people who voted for a guy because he said he’d bring cost of living down are all paying more and still insist they are right

if you think Trump can repair the historically massive amount of damage caused during the last leftist admin in 10 months you are naive .. and the prices of some things are coming down .. its gonna take time to fix the dem disaster of 2021 ,22, 23, and 24 !

AI Overview



Yes, U.S. gas prices recently hit their lowest levels in about four years, with the national average dipping below $3 a gallon in early December 2025, marking the first time since May 2021, driven by factors like lower crude oil prices and softer demand, with predictions for prices to stay low through the holidays
.
Key Points:

• National Average: Dropped below $3/gallon in early December 2025, a level not seen in four years.
• <30/Gallon States: Over two dozen states saw average prices below $3 by late November 2025.
• Outlook: Prices are expected to remain low, potentially staying under $3 for the coming months.

No Oakland County is the blue county. My buddies and brother tried to gaslight me too. So did trump. Prices aren’t up. Oh yes they are. And wait till next year. Idiots!

inflation is at the lowest rate in 4 yrs ..

AI Overview



In the U.S., the annual inflation rate hit a four-year low of

2.3%2.3 %
in April 2025, a figure not seen since February 2021. This was driven by falling prices for essentials like food and energy..

Don't cherry pick. For all I know the Oil Companies are doing that as a favor to Trump.

Core inflation rate watched by Fed hit 2.8%, delayed September data shows, lower than expected​

That means prices went up. And it twernt cause a biden.

 

[yidnar]

Um, right. I don't think I ever wanted the guy in the foxhole next to me to be drunk.

Come on, we all told you that Kegseth was completely unfit for office, and now he's proving it by getting us involved in outright war crimes.

so a highly decorated veteran with 2 Bronze Stars is unfit eh .. guess the leftists would be happier with a pencil pushing bureaucrat being SOD ..

the lowest increase since the dims were in office .. if dims got another 4 yrs we would have seen even more astronomical price hikes due to their war on affordable energy , regulations , and the war in Europe that started in the last dim admin having no hope of negotiating piece by said dim admin ..

The war in Ukraine significantly impacted U.S. food prices by disrupting global supplies of grains (wheat, corn) and sunflower products, increasing energy and fertilizer costs, and exacerbating overall inflation, leading to higher costs for consumers for items like bread, cereals, and meat, though prices have fluctuated and fallen from peak 2022 levels but remain elevated compared to pre-war
.
Key Ways the War Affected U.S. Food Prices:

• Commodity Price Spikes: Ukraine and Russia are major exporters of wheat, corn, and sunflower oil; the conflict blocked Black Sea ports, restricting supply and driving global commodity prices sky-high in early 2022, affecting U.S. prices for staples.
• Higher Energy & Fertilizer Costs: The war and sanctions on Russia drove up oil and natural gas prices, increasing costs for farming, processing, and transporting food, and boosting fertilizer expenses, which gets passed to consumers.
• Supply Chain Disruptions: Blocked trade routes and market volatility increased costs and uncertainty, impacting every step of the food supply chain from farm to table.
• Increased U.S. Production & Prices: While the U.S. benefited from higher prices for its own grain exports, these global price hikes also meant higher input costs for U.S. farmers (feed, fertilizer) and higher grocery bills for Americans.

Impact on Consumers:

• Grocery Inflation: U.S. food-at-home prices surged in 2022, with significant jumps in cereal, bakery, meat, dairy, and egg costs, partly due to the war.

In essence, the war added to existing inflationary pressures, creating a shock to the global food system that translated into higher grocery bills in the U.S.

You created that information, whole cloth. I simply showed a picture of one of the boats that had been attacked, that had two fishing rods standing up on the back, with one of the showing visible line and of course the reel.

But, what difference does it make? The problem being discussed is not whether the boats are used for fishing. The problem is the illegal strike to murder the survivors, clinging to what is left of part of the boat, no weapons, no radios, not resisting, simply trying to stay alive after the first rocket attack.

The madness of going to war with Venezuela

Trump's saber-rattling on Venezuela is reaching disturbing new highs, and any action could cause chaos in the region.

www.ms.now

Trump and Hegseth have both called for and been in favor of killing the occupants of Venezuelan boats in international waters, that they claim carries drugs headed to America. Hegseth has gone so far as to say that survivors of the attacks should not be rescued but should be killed.

It is painfully obvious that neither Trump or his "Secretary of War" or his DOJ are students of history. For if they were they would realize that in the Nuremberg Trials after WWII, Hitler's Admirable of the Nazi navy, Karl Doenitz, was charged for issuing instructions to his submarine commanders "No attempt must be made to rescue members of ships sunk, and this includes picking up persons in the water and putting them in lifeboats, righting capsized lifeboats, and handing over food and water. Rescue runs counter to the most elementary demands of warfare for the destruction of enemy ships and crews." (From "Justice at Nuremberg," by Robert E. Conot, 1983.)

I think that this action could well be included in the indictment of Trump in his Third Impeachment, after Democrats take over the Congress. And, after he resigns as Secretary of War at the end of Trump's term, Hegseth could well face war charges by a civilian court (if he is not recalled to the military to face a General Courts Martial!)

Bigly!!!

The story that the US military gunned down survivors from the drug running boats have been debunked. Even the vehemently anti-Trump New York Times had to admit.
The drug running boats occupants are given repeated orders, in Spanish, to stop their boats. If they don't stop, the military fires "ahead" of the drug runners as an incentive. If the drug runners ignore that warning, it is repeated once more. If the drug runners continue running, they are then fired upon. Once the boats are hit, survivors in the water are NOT gunned down.
Sorry to break your heart, but there's no war crimes going on here. Some have falsely claimed that the US military is violating international law in its actions. This too is false. There is no international maritime law in countries national defense. There ARE international Maritime Laws regarding shipping.

didn't see the pic ... post it again .. and yes I trust our service members and military Intel more than a triggered leftist ..

There is no possibility of "War Crimes" committed against mercenaries.

Mercenaries are in a grey area of Law. EVERY Nation uses them. Russia hires the most. The Middle East uses them almost exclusively. The US uses mercenaries as well.

Guys like James Bond are now subcontractors. They don't really exist.

So....when it comes to shooting guys swimming in the middle of the ocean who are nothing but terrorist mercenaries...I have zero sympathy.

The shooting of these swimmers is an undeserved kindness because it's better to die quickly rather than slowly. Less torture that way. They kill millions with their poison and destroy millions more lives by those addicted to their poison. Zero empathy for these sorts. They don't own the emotions that result in remorse. Why should remorse be extended to them?

Uh, guy, by that logic, it would have been okay for Al Qaeda to behead Blackwater contractors in Iraq and Afghanistan, because, hey, they are just "mercenaries", amiright?

There's no excuse for shooting shipwreck survivors in an already questionable operation of shooting up boats because they MIGHT be carrying drugs.

Shooting of survivors didn't happen as there were none.

Secondly if there were survivors, shooting them is an undeserved kindness of allowing them to die quickly instead of slowly.

Thirdly....AL Qaeda did behead Blackwater contractors. We were in a declared war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just because you are a mercenary does not make you immune from harm.

The boat was carrying drugs. It had been under constant surveillance from loading, Fueling, crewing and their run to American waters.

The Venezuelans provided our military a clean shoot. Of course they were going to shoot and use all those toys they train with. The soldiers were more than willing and able....just practically itching to destroy bad guys. (Who would not?)

Everyone wants to be a soldier shooting bad guys....from little kids to grown adults in this instance. The ONLY people who don't are the insane blue dog Communist Democrats and evil thug people. I'll let you decide which you are. (Neither is a positive)

Wow, there were no survivors, but killing survivors was a mercy. No really.

Thirdly....AL Qaeda did behead Blackwater contractors. We were in a declared war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Just because you are a mercenary does not make you immune from harm.

Quite right. And when they did, we went out and looked for revenge. That's the point. We treated these mercenaries like they were our own, because they were.

The boat was carrying drugs. It had been under constant surveillance from loading, Fueling, crewing and their run to American waters.

Then where's the proof? Seems to me that it would be just as easy to capture one of these boats, and point out the drugs.

Actually, most of these boats didn't have the range to make it to American waters. If they were carrying drugs, they were heading for Trinidad to provide suppliers sending Cocaine to Europe.

The Venezuelans provided our military a clean shoot. Of course they were going to shoot and use all those toys they train with. The soldiers were more than willing and able....just practically itching to destroy bad guys. (Who would not?)

No, it's not a "clean shoot" if it's in violation of international maritime law.

Everyone wants to be a soldier shooting bad guys....from little kids to grown adults in this instance. The ONLY people who don't are the insane blue dog Communist Democrats and evil thug people. I'll let you decide which you are. (Neither is a positive)

I was a soldier for 11 years. It was never my desire to go out and murder innocent civilians.

 

[JohnDB]

No, it's not a "clean shoot" if it's in violation of international maritime law

They are terrorists....well, actually were terrorists. The only difference between bombs and drugs is the amount, type, and style of damage inflicted.

 

[JoeB131]

No, they aren't terrorists. They aren't taking armed action.

They probably weren't smuggling drugs, either.

There would be no market for drugs if people didn't want to take them.

We all told you to go worship at the altar of General Milley, your CCP hero.

 

[Hollie]

If they can't get away with it they will throw the admiral sap under the bus. Cowards will always do that.

Such was the case when democrats threw Biden to the curb.
