“This would be a war crime even if there were an actual war and these people were actual combatants, which there isn't and they weren't.
It's unquestionably an unlawful homicide under any form of law you wish to apply: military or civilian, domestic or international, federal or state.
Flat-out murder by any reasonable definition you can come up with.”100 -
It might be time to start being a little skeptical about the 'shoot them in the water' story...
I believe only the Washington Post is reporting the story as truth...everyone else is saying there is a 'report that hegseth did this.'
In other words, other news orgs are saying their own reporters have not been able to confirm the story.
This is troubling and should cause people to hesitate before 100% believing the story.
On the other hand, to my knowledge neither pig nor heg has denied the order either. Which is interesting and would cause you to think there's truth to it.

The Washington Post editorial page is good now, but the “reporting” is fake news

Because I have invoked FAVORED NATIONS STATUS FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, DRUG PRICES ARE FALLING AT LEVELS NEVER SEEN BEFORE, 500%, 600%, 700%, and more. No other President has been able to do this, BUT I HAVE! This is also the answer to much less expensive, and far better, HEALTHCARE! Republicans, remember, this was done by us, and nobody else. This is a revolution in medicine, the biggest and most important event, EVER. If this story is properly told, we should win the Midterm Elections in RECORD NUMBERS. I AM THE AFFORDABILITY PRESIDENT. TALK LOUDLY AND PROUDLY! President DJT114 -

The two businessmen shared President Trump’s long-held approach to geopolitics. If generations of diplomats viewed the post-Soviet challenges of Eastern Europe as a Gordian knot to be painstakingly unraveled, the president envisioned an easy fix: The borders matter less than the business. In the 1980s, he had offered to personally negotiate a swift end to the Cold War while building what he told Soviet diplomats would be a Trump Tower across the street from the Kremlin, with their Communist regime as a business partner.
“Russia has so many vast resources, vast expanses of land,” Witkoff told The Wall Street Journal, describing at length his hopes that Russia, Ukraine and America would all become business partners. “If we do all that, and everybody’s prospering and they’re all a part of it, and there’s upside for everybody, that’s going to naturally be a bulwark against future conflicts there. Because everybody’s thriving.”…
As Western leaders convened this week to digest the plan, Poland’s prime minister Donald Tuskoffered a pithy summary: “We know this is not about peace. It’s about business.”
For many in the Trump White House, that blurring of business and geopolitics is a feature, not a bug. Key presidential advisers see an opportunity for American investors to snap up lucrative deals in a new postwar Russia and become the commercial guarantors of peace. In conversations with Witkoff and Kushner, Russia has been clear it would prefer U.S. businesses to step in, not rivals from European states whose leaders have “talked a lot of trash” about the peace effforts, one of these people said: “It’s Trump’s ‘Art of the Deal’ to say, ‘Look, I’m settling this thing and there’s huge economic benefits for doing that for America, right?’”07 -

The word Orwellian keeps coming up on my mind over and over. War is Peace, Freedom is slavery, Inflation is Affordability
If you can't improve the economy, simply fire all the people that report on the economy and claim the economy is the best in history.

And the power of the Tariff - it can end wars:
In October, President Zelensky flew to Washington, hoping to secure long-range, U.S.-made Tomahawk cruise missiles. His military wanted to cripple Russian refineries, pushing Moscow to negotiate on better terms.
By the time Zelensky arrived, Trump had spoken to Putin a day earlier and decided not to offer the Tomahawks. Instead, Witkoff encouraged Ukrainian officials to try another tack: What good was a handful of missiles going to accomplish? Instead, he encouraged Ukraine to ask Trump for a 10-year tariff exemption. It would supercharge their economy, he said.
“I’m in the deal settlement business. That’s why I’m here,” he told the Journal. “We keep on knocking at the door and coming up with ideas.”

@SecWarAs usual, the fake news is delivering more fabricated, inflammatory, and derogatory reporting to discredit our incredible warriors fighting to protect the homeland.
As we’ve said from the beginning, and in every statement, these highly effective strikes are specifically intended to be “lethal, kinetic strikes.” The declared intent is to stop lethal drugs, destroy narco-boats, and kill the narco-terrorists who are poisoning the American people. Every trafficker we kill is affiliated with a Designated Terrorist Organization.
And yet:
Donald Trump has just
pardoned one of the world’s most notorious drug traffickers. Trump, in a
new post, said he will issue a “full and complete pardon” to former
Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who was convicted of drug
trafficking last year in the US and sentenced to 45 years in prison.
Hernandez was convicted by a jury of conspiring to traffic 400 tons of
cocaine into the United States and was “at the center of one of the
largest and most violent drug-trafficking conspiracies in the world.”
Hernandez is responsible for the deaths of countless American citizens,
but Trump says that he was treated “very unfairly.”Will Trump put him on a small boat and blow him up?

The prohibition against killing combatants who are in the water and unable to fight is primarily coded in the Second Geneva Convention of 1949, specifically Article 12. These individuals are considered "hors de combat" (out of the fight) and are classified as protected persons under international humanitarian law (IHL).
