I wonder what the response(s) would be if the Cuban military killed everyone on board an American fishing trawler - in either American, or International waters?

I have no commander in chief, I am no longer on active duty and well beyond my IRR time.  You don't seem to understand how any of this works which makes sense because you're just here to pick a fight. 

I wasn't suggesting that you were still in active duty.  I said "your" to show that I don't respect the president enough to consider him my president.  I have always had great respect for those that serve in the military.  My father fought in the frontlines in World WAR II.  No matter what I do in life I will never equal that.  I have generally assumed that out miltary would honor the constitution and protect us from a rogue President, but I can no longer do that.  Your president attempted a coup against the United States and is now attempting to turn us into a fascist autocracy while ****ting on the constitution on a daily basis.  I am sorry, but I can't respect that and I can no longer assume that the military will protect us from that.

I trust people who actually know the law than some schlub on the internet or a talk show host with no qualifications to be Sec of War

Corn, a law professor at Texas Tech University, noted that critics have condemned U.S. drone strikes since 2001 against militants in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries as extrajudicial killings, but those strikes were legitimate, he said, because the U.S. was engaged in an armed conflict under the laws of war against al Qaeda and other terrorist groups.

Brian Finucane, a former State Department lawyer who is now at the International Crisis Group, said that designation of drug cartels as terrorist groups doesn’t authorize the use of military force against them. Rather it enables the U.S. to levy sanctions and pursue criminal prosecutions against individuals who support the groups.

Nor can military action be justified under the law Congress passed authorizing the use of force against al Qaeda and related terrorist groups following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, experts said.

For the military to use force, “there needs to be a legitimate claim of self-defense in international waters, an action that is necessary and proportional in response to an armed attack or imminent armed attack,” said Juan Gonzalez, who served as the National Security Council’s senior director for Western Hemisphere affairs during the Biden administration. “That clearly didn’t happen.”

Look, GG is straight up telling you that he does not care about non-Americans, including if they live or die. And if they do die, he doesn't care if they were murdered by American soldiers. Further, his assertion is that the majority of Trump voters feel the same.

I for one believe him about all of it.

 

Ultimately, I think you have to name it what it is, which is worship of the culture of death. It's the idea that if you kill enough other people your problems go away. It's basically the same logic whether it comes from Putin, Netanyahu, Isis, Hamas, Trump, or an MTF poster. It's the same kool-aid. It's the 21st century cool-kids philosophy. 

Anyone that hews to that old "I came that you may have life, and have it abundantly" stuff? Losers.

You’re such a rabble rouser Lee. We all know that about you. For the last 20 years.

Interestingly, the guy who most likely played grapes (Tyrus, DuaneBSims) was also at odds with me.  I'm pretty sure it's not him though.

I was talking about YOU haha. Just hoping for an impression...

I actually do like to rouse some rabble every once in a while, but my rabble rate is relatively low.  My rabble is replacement level at best.

Johnson is just what you get when you send Jimmy Swaggart to law school. Every bit as false.

Tyrus was/is George Hunter of the Detroit News.

That used to be Stan Papi's defense of Trump.  I think that's almost proof that he was involved in some way.  The lesser offender informed the FBI to take down the king pin.

yup.  He wasn't all bad.  I liked to talk Tigers history with him.  He was just nasty and relentness whenever he had a disagreement with someone and would get personal.

He must have been a fail as an informant as well considering all the jail time served from that 1st round of investigations.
