Trump has no authority to strike any state, let alone their civilian population, without any discernible threat from those states to warrant such action. Our head of state is a wanton criminal who believes himself, all too correctly, to be above the law.

It's great that reporting on the double tap has spotlighted the abject criminality of this Administration.
But don't forget: Venezuela is not waging war on America or Americans, and the men killed were not combatants.
The first strike was every bit as illegal as the second.

It’s important to note from a military perspective that if a subordinate is about to give an unlawful order & his senior knows about it, it’s also a requirement for the senior official to stop him from executing it. And then counsel/discipline him.
So there’s that, too.

Have Democrats figured out yet that America is being Putinized and that they, like the free press, are the pro-Kremlin MAGA regime's primary target right now? Their credibility is constantly under attack, our elections being increasingly influenced by pernicious lies rather than truth.
