Several member states, especially on the eastern flank, are pressing for NATO to stop being purely reactive and to begin counterattacking, particularly in cyberspace where allies have developed offensive capabilities.

1) under no definition are we currently at war with Venezuela under domestic US law
2) since we aren’t, the initial strike was just as much a murder as the follow up
The failure to understand this by a huge range of actors is really driving me up the wall.

If the Venezuelan sailors were enemy combatants, then the 2nd strike is a war crime.
If the Venezuelan sailors weren’t enemy combatants, then both strikes are criminal murder.
It’s that simple.
