You're not seeing the defense and international conflict experts disagreeing because if the facts are true, it's one of the most basic things in the law of armed conflict: You cannot kill people who are "hors de combat," taken out of the game by injury or attack. This is Geneva 101 stuff.
I follower a few defense experts.
Seeing them all straight-up declare this a war crime without any him-and-hawing is uhm
Disconcerting.
Pete Hegseth must resign, as does Stephen Miller. Donald Trump should be subpoenaed before Congress to answer for HIS policy.

To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.

This is explicitly confirming the allegation: that he's ordering the killings for their own sake. The logical implication of which is hit them again if there are any survivors, which is both exactly what the Post reported and a cold-blooded textbook war crime.

Guess this is going to turn into one of those posts that I have to repost every few months now as the United States government is fully rebuilding itself as a white power institution and setting the stage for mass ethnic cleansing and genocide.
“Remigration” is a word that only exists in this context as a white identity movement concept. The word itself was literally created by fascists and white identity groups to call for the forced removal and destruction of “ethnically non white” citizens within their country. It’s literally fascism
Trump is now redefining deportation as “remigration”
Next he’s going to start referring to denaturalization as “realienation”
