The "kinetic strikes" that Hegseth and Trump are glorying in are nothing more than state-sanctioned assassinations. When the most powerful country on earth embraces and flaunts a policy of killing civilians, we are in truly fascist terrain. www.cnn.com/2025/10/22/p...

The US military conducted lethal strikes against two boats in the eastern Pacific this week, killing all people on board each vessel, according to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
