Trump is illegally killing people
confusion reigns over what American President Donald Trump is doing off Venezuala’s coast after his latest extrajudicial assasaination of boats cruising around went from questionable legality to outright war crime as his enormous fleet double tapped a suspected drug boat killing those with a second strike after the first strike immobilised them.
Even in war, there are rules and while it’s not clear he has any authority to be doing what he’s doing, even the military frowns upon purposely killing people who have already been neutralised.
What confuses this highly questionable war on drugs even more is Trump personally pardoning Honduras’s ex-president for cocain trafficking.
He’s blowing up boats and killing people with no clear legal jurisdiction for drug dealing while he pardons an actual drug dealer?
This feels less like a war on drugs and more like a war on basic reasoning.
Those who justify Putin
Meanwhile the Ukrainian peace deal goes no where.
While I am the first to criticise American Foreign Policy, I simply don’t understand people who defend Putin’s war.
Sure there was encroachment, sure the Minsk Accords blah blah blah, but none of that actually justifies invading another country the way Putin did.
To date this horrific violence has killed and injured anywhere between half a million to a million Russians, I just don’t think you can butcher that many of your own people in a needless and pointless war and then get to play the victim as well.
We all want peace, but a deal that rewards Putin’s aggression seems like surrender, not a peace deal.
