The sudden resignation of Admiral Alvin Holsey, the head of U.S. Southern Command, has raised concerns, especially given the lack of explanation from either Holsey or the Defense Department. This unexpected departure occurred just months into his tenure, further fueling speculation. In the weeks following Holsey’s resignation, the Trump administration has escalated military actions in the Caribbean Sea. These actions include the bombing of additional boats, resulting in a significant number of casualties, all while the administration maintains secrecy regarding its intelligence and legal justifications.

Trump Boat Bombings Worsen as New Horror Shakes Experts: “Alarm Bells”
The situation is dire, to put it mildly. These “Trump Boat Bombings,” as they’re being called, are escalating, and the implications are terrifying. The sheer audacity of ending human lives with such apparent disregard for consequences is what’s truly chilling. It feels like we’re witnessing a complete breakdown of any semblance of ethical conduct, a dangerous precedent being set by those in positions of power. It’s not hyperbole to say that these actions constitute murder, plain and simple.
The comments paint a picture of a president seemingly obsessed with military force, with a disturbing penchant for “blowing things up,” and completely ignoring military protocol. This is particularly frightening when you consider the scope of these operations and the potential for abuse. The alarm bells have been ringing for years, a cacophony of warnings that many have unfortunately chosen to ignore. Some consider it the actions of a psychopath who appears to derive pleasure from bombing people. The justification offered—interventionism and expansionism—seems to be driven by political goals and carefully crafted narratives.
The actions themselves are clearly extrajudicial killings and war crimes, plain and simple. Threatening allies, cozying up to dictators, instigating trade wars, and unilaterally meddling in foreign affairs are all part of the pattern. Remember the threats to annex Canada and colonize Greenland? This isn’t just about bad policy; it’s about a fundamental disregard for international law and the norms of civilized conduct. It’s about a belief in absolute power, a dangerous delusion.
The “law and order” rhetoric is especially concerning because it’s a dog whistle meant to incite hostilities towards marginalized groups. It’s about punishing enemies. This obsession with punishment is reflected in the militarization of domestic policy, a disregard for constitutional rights, attacks on the judiciary, and the weaponization of government agencies.
Trump’s own statements, claiming to be above the law, insinuate that he’s entitled to operate outside the boundaries of any regulation. He seems to believe he can act with impunity, especially when targeting those who fit a certain profile. The vague criteria of drug smugglers or “terrorists” gives him the power to decide who lives and who dies, carried out with the backing of a complicit political party. This is a betrayal of the most fundamental principles of justice.
The augmentation of the US flotilla off Venezuela, along with the impending arrival of the Gerald R Ford carrier group, is a clear sign of escalating tensions. The military build-up in the region is alarming, and the potential for a wider conflict is very real. The fisherman’s blood will be on the hands of everyone who enabled this regime.
The idea that Republicans are willingly sacrificing the interests of the American people to achieve their own political goals is a deeply troubling one. They seem to be prioritizing power, control, and personal gain over the well-being of the very people they claim to represent. Outwardly, the desire to be racist, control women’s bodies, take away health care, and deport those with the wrong skin color or opinions all seem to come first. They’re willing to look the other way, even as they know they will pay the price in the end.
The normalization of war crimes is a dangerous game. It’s a descent into an uncontrollable addiction to violence, a destructive path that leads to unimaginable consequences. The comments are filled with references to “Nuremberg” and the idea of holding those responsible accountable for their actions. It’s a recognition that history will judge those who participated in these crimes.
The legal rationale is getting more and more troubling. The new authority to bomb people “affiliated” with designated groups is deeply concerning. The refusal to define “affiliated” leaves the door wide open for abuse. It’s an adoption of the Israeli Dahiya doctrine, where the military is sent to terrorize civilians. The possibility of the military being used against the American people is very real and very frightening.
The comments express a deep sense of despair and the sense that something needs to be done. It’s about holding those accountable, establishing an oversight and a moral reckoning.
The military is getting used to doing this to random people out in the middle of the ocean. This may be so they can use this experience on other people in other countries and eventually in our country. I do not know fully who to blame as Trump has been bought by so many powerful people.
People should be held accountable.
There is a long-standing understanding of what military personnel should do if they believe they’ve gotten ‘illegal orders’. It’s called “disobey said order”. This is very important.
