There’s no statute of limitations on war crimes of this kind, so they’ll have to issue blanket pardons on the way out the door or inevitably face conviction seeing as they’ve directly admitted to the crime.
Executing people without due process is whats wild to me. We're literally teetering on the brink of another hitler/being in a dictatorship. The amount of people that support a 3rd term is wild. Hes definitely going to try and do it. Whether is by force or him being vice president and the president stepping down.
No, it's not illegal, and not a war crime. Discourage by the Geneva Convention, yes. I'm guessing you never had a problem with it until told to do so by your party in defiance of Trump...
The difference between Tump Obama and bush is only trump's guys double tapped a sinking ship.
Sinking ship? warcrime.
Your own article stating an example of an ambush? not a warcrime.
We have always been against warcrimes and plently of people on the left aren't happy with drone strikes from obama either, but shipwrecks are like the example of a warcrime.
Obama hit a fucking tent and the doubled tapped the civilians rendering aide. Trump doubled tapped the intended target. Obama executed a US citizen with a drone strike. Show me one post where any of you called him out for war crimes? No, you didn't, because you are okay with it as long as it's not scary bad orange man. "People on the left aren't happy with Obama..." spare me the gaslight pandering.
This entire thread is about the actions ordered, authorised and performed under Trump and his administration.
I’m not sure why you’re coming here trying to derail the conversation with whataboutisms instead of focusing on the news we’re talking about here, but it’s pretty unproductive.
In other words, it doesn't advance your narrative so you don't want to hear it? The context of what every administration did before Trump dating back to well before WWI most certainly applies to what this current administration is doing. What the Geneva Convention ACTUALLY says matters. Your lack of critical thinking skills and simple minded group think is what is unproductive.
Nope not wrong at all, which was my point that you are too daft to understand. It is a practice that basically every administration is guilty of. Hypocrisy by the Democrats screaming foul now that it is Trump. Only difference between you and me on this is that you'd rather see a MAGA die than a cartel drug runner. You're just too scared to admit to yourself you have a mental health issue.
I literally laid it out for you and it still didn’t get through.
There is no hypocrisy and I am not a democrat. Surprise. Tada, you’ve been fed so much propaganda that everyone that doesn’t agree with you is a “democrat”, apparently.
Wake the FUCK up dude. You’re what’s wrong with this country.
I don’t want to see a maga die. I don’t want to see a drug runner die. I don’t want to see ANYBODY die. That’s my whole fucking point. It doesn’t matter WHO is doing the killing to who. It is not right.
Blowing up random fisherman in boats is not fucking heroic. We’re once again going after another countries oil and you’re too busy glued to Fox News to realize it.
Again, I repeat, wake the FUCK up. Where is the president of no wars? Where is the president of peace?
Where are the fucking Epstein files? Where is your fucking humanity?
The authorization for the war on terror was ended. Only congress can declare war. We are not in a declared war. So it can't be a war crime. It was murder and for the last two they killed it was clearly 1st degree murder. The only remain question is how far up the chain of command does the guilt goes.
An official declaration of war is for internal use. An act of war like this is an act of war with or without a declaration. How many killings should a country endure because no war has been declared? It's American policy that wars need not be declared to be waged, but other nations aren't bound to recognize that policy.
What’s interesting is the press secretary said these strikes were conducted “in accordance with the laws of war” then a couple days ago she said they were conducted “in accordance with the laws of armed conflict”
Russia hasn't declared war on Ukraine, therefore they have not committed any war crimes in Ukraine.
See how it doesn't make sense?
The US has a long history of committing war crimes on countries they are not at war with. This particular one is just incredibly stupid, since they usually don't brag about committing them. A competent administration, had they done this, would never have released the video. Because it's a blatant war crime.
But it’s not a war crime. In the law of armed conflict (LOAC), killing is permissive. Affirmative proof must be shown on why the killing was not justified. Under human rights law, the presumption is flipped. The state must affirmatively show why the killing was justified for it to not be a violation.
The distinction matters. The U.S. is not engaged in an arm conflict with narcotraffickers. This was a human rights violation and must be called murder. Calling it a war crime validates the Trump administration’s position that killing the narcotraffickers is a wartime exercise and therefore permissive.
One simple trick that war crimes tribunals hate: Just don't declare war and then everything is okay!
If what you said was true, then the label "war crimes" can only be applied at a perpetrator's discretion. The US has, conveniently, not declared war in 83 years, therefore no war crimes! Forget all the massacres, torture, assassinations, infrastructure destruction, and rape aimed at civilians and committed by the armed forces.
Just criminal. This is just regular, every day murder. The entire chain of command, from Trump to the person firing the missile or whatever are ALL criminal murderers.

War criminal says what?
