You don’t really care. You’re just looking for a political issue to exploit. Be honest and say that.

Well, there's this thing called "murder". It's a bit of an archaic law. Not many people have heard of it. But it turns out that firing a second missile at the boat you just blew up for the purpose of killing the now incapacitated and totally helpless survivors is actually a crime.


When a president orders attacks on foreign entities in the name of national defense, that’s not the definition of murder. To try and conflate the two makes you look quite stupid.

Right.

To try to equate the double tap to national defense confirms that you are quite stupid. The first missile that destroyed the boat is debatable on grounds of national defense, at best. The second missile to eliminate survivors of the first is about as clear cut a violation of the law as you're going to find. You don't kill survivors of a shipwreck even if they are enemy combatants in a declared war. It's illegal even then.

You are a sad example of the effectiveness of leftist propaganda on the gullible and stupid who live among us.

This conflict is much more comparable to the Iraq War than those wars. Geopolitically, both were and have been disasters. Execution wise, we fricked up Iraq and we had total control in 6 weeks. Iran, we’re 8 months into something that was supposed to take a few days or weeks to accomplish.


This war and Iraq have very little in common, especially in the execution. What are you even talking about.

We still have ZERO official reason for the war on Libya (it was because the Obama CIA sold stingers and patriots to the wrong people and Libyan revels got ahold of them and were selling them to Syrian rebels (Isis).

The war in Serbia (former Yugoslavia) was a “peace keeping mission” under the auspices of NATO, but 90% funded and operated by the Clinton administration. It is actually much more comparable to the war with Iran than the wars with Iraq ot Afghanistan. The differences being that we used soldiers on the ground, and we bombed “dual use targets” like bridges and power grids, but did not do so (yet) in Iran.

I supported the Serbian/Bosnian intervention as a peace keeping mission, and yet it must be acknowledged that it had absolutely no impact on the U.S. It meets the definition of a “meddling war” to a T, but the war with Iran does not.

Of course they are. They've got to hurry. They've got to hurry, 'cause when the shite hits the fan, they don't want Pete in charge of the military. They're terrified.
No quarter.

Leftist propaganda like...the Geneva Convention, United States federal law, and the UCMJ?

Please, explain to the class how firing a missile at the wreckage of a watercraft you just blew up to ensure there are no survivors is actually legal under any set of laws besides "a Republican did it, therefore it is acceptable".

So you or your buddy Massie have direct evidence that Pete Hegseth ordered the supposed "second strike". You have witnesses that will say he did that?

Neither the UCMJ nor Geneva convention apply to non-state actors such as terrorists and smugglers.

French Hill had a very narrow victory in my district. Took 3 days to count.

This is to save himself in 2028

He's exhibiting a total lack of spine, when spine and solid principal are what American needs.

A member of the military can absolutely be charged with murder under Article 118 for unlawfully killing a civilian. Firing on the survivors of a shipwreck is, under all circumstances, a violation of the Geneva Convention. Thus the scramble to tell people that it wasn't a shipwreck at all because they were trying to tip the boat back over to make sure they got those drugs to Miami and definitely not because they simply didn't want to drown. It's honestly kind of sad how so many of you are willing to go to the mat for an alcoholic sociopath like Hegseth when there are literally tens of thousands of people more qualified to run the Pentagon. Can't be questioning anyone with the power of the magic R though.

This is the magic dumbfrick argument of the century.

Then when Trump nominates a different candidate, the same response is repeated.
