The former USAREUR commander & commander of an armored division in Iraq speaks with moral, ethical and legal authority on something he knows first-hand, but the thing to remember here is, Pete Hegseth was a US Army major and was taught all of this as well. Hegseth's knowingly committing war crimes.
@markhertling.bsky.social: “When you're talking about striking against someone who's wounded and clinging to debris…Deliberately targeting such a person isn't a tactical decision, it's a war crime by the Geneva Convention, the laws of land warfare, and the U.N. Charter.”

Republicans in both houses of Congress cravenly choose to support a caudillo over their own responsibility to the US Constitution and the American people; that they do it by pretending they don't know anything about anything makes it even more ludicrous and pathetic.
Vote these spineless cowards out of their majorities so we can actually have some oversight on this serial criminality.

Q: You said that second strike was in accordance with the law of armed conflict, but the Navy's own manual says that firing on survivors from a wrecked vessel is an example of a war crime

It makes perfect sense when you understand that Jared Kushner is there representing Trump’s personal interests, not the American people.
We have a cabinet level Secretary of State, a diplomatic corps, Special Envoys, and Defense team to do this work.
“Son-in-law” is not a government job. Kushner does not represent us.

We have almost unlimited knowledge at our fingertips yet we are in an increasingly stupid timeline.
Some percentage of the population consistently reports that they are reincarnations of Jesus, that the CIA are monitoring us with subcutaneously injected spy drones, and that the moon landing is a hoax. Is it time to consider whether they’re onto something?
