So they *are* able to stop a ship in international waters and seize control of it without killing everyone on board?

Huh.
Trump: "It's been an interesting day from the standpoint of news. As you probably know, we've just seized a tanker on the coast of Venezuela. Largest one ever seized actually. And other things are happening."

One theory I have is that competence, self-control, responsibility, and expertise have all been feminized, leaving “masculinity” with the realm of impulsivity and petulance. So the divide is not really between “femininity” and “masculinity” so much as between adulthood and childishness.
Everything else aside, the idea that this is a model for many men of *masculinity* is so wild. This? This is "manly"? This is how people think it's cool to act?

It makes it a lot easier to refuse unlawful orders for one
Imagine what it does to morale in the military to see the defense secretary hang an admiral out to dry to avoid responsibility for war crimes.

Correct. We know it wasn't a cyber or biological attack. The only reason to clarify is cuz on Fox News it sounds all Space Wars and shit. Calling it "lethal" is also redundant.
They keep calling them “kinetic strikes” for some reason, as if the particular method of murder remotely matters here.

Maybe it’s just because they’re dumb and they think it sounds cool?
REPORTER: Does the administration deny that that second strike happened, or did it happen and the administration denies that Hegseth gave the order?

LEAVITT: The latter. Secretary Hegseth authorized Admiral Bradley to conduct these kinetic strikes. He worked well within his authority and the law.

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.

Some people need to look up the My Lai disaster before flippantly invoking the term "war crime".

Has anyone considered that maybe the guy saying to ignore the pope on morals might be the antichrist?

Like, dude. Listen to yourself.
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.

He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

Targeting Kelly is one of those “this is why we’ll win” moments, bc it shows how politically impetuous this admin is.

There’s clearly no adult in the room to say “wait, maybe don’t go after the charismatic war hero turned literal astronaut who ran after his wife was a victim of political violence.”
Mark Kelly: "My wife, Gabby Giffords, meeting with her constituents, shot in the head. Six people killed around her, a horrific thing. She spent six months in the hospital. We know what political violence is and we know what causes it too, The statements that Donald Trump made incites others."

It is extremely funny that this bit of politicking includes … a reminder that servicemembers have to follow the law. Lamentably, this reminder means that there will need to be an investigation into the person who wrote the tweet; sorry, that's just the law.
Hegseth is now threatening to recall Sen. Mark Kelly to active duty in order to court martial him.

It's interesting how MAGA takes a bunch of court losses as evidence of a conspiracy against MAGA, instead of evidence that none of this stuff is legal.
