NYT corrects WAPO “kill them all” story “As that operation unfolded, Mr. Hegseth did not give any further orders to him” “They argued that the purported cargo remained a threat and a lawful military target because another cartel-associated boat might have come to retrieve it”

@RWPUSA 82 years ago “PT boats and planes attacked Japanese rescue vessels, as well as the survivors from the sunken vessels on life rafts and swimming or floating in the sea” “While many of the Allied aircrew accepted these attacks as being necessary, others were sickened”

Quite remarkable WW2 is not understood — Battle of the Atlantic — Battle of Bismarck Sea It was fine that that the U.S. Army Air Force/U.S. Navy (and Allies) machine-gunned German and Japanese survivors swimming on the surface from their sunken wrecks
Quite remarkable to watch so many MAGA accounts argue it was fine during World War II for German and Japanese subs to surface and machine-gun the survivors of warships they had torpedoed.

Same in USA Biden’s preemptive, blanket pardon of Anthony Fauci is backdated to 1 Jan 2014
This is a shocking pardon. I can tell you that the only thing corrupt politicians in Latin America fear is the US justice system.

Favreau was part of Team Obama — White House Director of Speechwriting (2009 - 2013)
Hegseth ordered the military to murder defenseless survivors who could’ve easily been saved, arrested, and tried. Now he’s trying to court martial a Senator for merely reminding the military they’re not obligated to follow illegal orders.

USA - Russia trade relationship is defined by sanctions ▶️ USA imported $3B fertilizers and platinum in 2024 ▶️ USA ranks #1 in Russia sanctions
Trump for some reason decided to tariff everyone in the world except Russia. Imagine if you told Russiagate obsessives in 2017 this would happen. They’d assume they were completely vindicated.

American tax dollars at work
For those of you who support Trump: why don't you care about the allegations that El Salvador beat, abused, and in some cases denied medicine to and even sexually assaulted Venezuelan prisoners that American taxpayers paid them to incarcerate?

It could be worse

‘Tit for Tat’ Lawfare is necessary Axelrod's Tournament 1980 — ‘Tit for Tat’ most successful strategy ▶️ Dems defected pursuing Lawfare against Trump ▶️ Trump retaliation: Responds with defection with defection, discouraging exploitation ▶️ Aim: Reestablish cooperation
All of the people who said they cared about lawfare 5 seconds ago should be up in arms over this. Mark Kelly has a First Amendment right to express his opinion. This administration truly detest freedom of speech.

The obvious plan by US Russia Hawks, their poodles in Western Europe, the UK, and the belligerent Balts, is to wait Trump out. This means either 2028 or midterm elections. Which means that the UAF needs to hold on.
@FistedFoucault Kiev doesn't even have the cards at this point They are being told to give Trump the middle finger by a few EU Leaders If Trump is serious about ending this war ,only thing he can do is to totally pull out No intelligence sharing,no weapon sales, no instructors etc.
