Derek Zoolander was a good if dumb person Trump is an evil racist, rapist, traitor, thief, murderer |
In response to questions about the legality of these tactics, as opposed to using the Coast Guard for their created role, petulant Trump lashed out,
"Because we've been doing that for 30 years and it's totally ineffective. They have faster boats."
What a grotesque slap in the face of the hard-working Officers and Crew of the Coast Guard; who interdict and capture tons of illicit drugs without resorting to murder and there is no fucking boat being used by drug smugglers that is faster than even the aging Coast Guard Cutter fleet.
But, this vile insult by Trump didn't even generate a blip, let alone a scandal as Trump continues to shit on service members without regard and without reprimand by the media or American public.

None of these boats are near the U.S. |
"The fact that US officials describe the individuals killed by the US strike as narco-terrorists does not transform them into lawful military targets. Labelling everyone a terrorist does not make them a lawful target and enables states to side-step international law." - Prof Michael Becker of Trinity College Dublin told BBC Verify
We now have the first major resignation, seemingly due to the Hegseth policy of blowing up non-military, apparently unarmed vessels in international waters without so much as a detailed policy, let alone a congressional act in authorization. Admiral Alvin Holsey SOUTHCOM commander abruptly retired rather than continue as the head of the command responsible for blowing up these boats. Now, this is surprising because most persons of color were summarily fired by White boy Hegseth on the basis of race
I am certain Traitor Trump has told Hegseth and Rubio to blow up the boats and Trump himself has gone so far as to inform some Congressional committees he believes a formal armed conflict with Venezuelan "narco-terrorists" exists. And the problem with the vaunted trope military personnel are taught from basic training onwards that they can, nay must, disobey an "illegal order" is Trump's military order, acting in capacity as Commander-in-Chief, backed by the Sinister Supremacist Court ruling, are presupposed legal and any Officer or enlisted person disobeying that order is going to be arrested and made an example of as they will have to prove it's illegal. So, it appears the military has three terrible options; obey these illegal orders and hope to never face prosecution (a very likely outcome), disobey and face all potential negatives alone, or resign.
I know in the very abstract we may expect our military to behave in accordance with what perceive as the law, but it's a very large ask to expect some individual service member to throw their life away knowing American society will not only not honor their sacrifice but, work to make their lives and their families miserable.
In the meantime, Trump has engaged in major provocation by having three B-52 bombers loiter for hours right off the coast of Venezuela. Trump complained for years the United States didn't steal the oil from Iraq so when he launches a War on Venezuela to "free them from the dictatorship of Nicolas Maduro" he'll make sure a Bolsanaro or Javier Milei is in charge and bribe them personally.
Traitor Trump will then order himself a military Triumph to pass by his new Arc de Trump...
