Following an initial strike on a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean on September 2, the US military conducted a follow-up strike after assessing there were survivors. This second attack resulted in the deaths of the remaining crew, bringing the total death toll to 11 and sinking the ship. The administration has since faced scrutiny, as the President announced the strike, but has never publicly acknowledged killing survivors. Legal experts and members of Congress have raised concerns, with some arguing the strikes violate the law of armed conflict by executing individuals who are “hors de combat.” This has led to the UK ceasing intelligence sharing with the US due to concerns over the legality of these actions.

Reports indicate that U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth may face a war crimes prosecution for allegedly ordering a second strike on a boat in the Caribbean to kill survivors of a U.S. missile attack.

The extended observation provided mounting evidence suggesting the individuals on board were involved in drug trafficking. This conclusion was drawn based on the length of time the boat was monitored. The increased confidence of the analysts was a direct result of the prolonged surveillance operation.

The Trump administration, under alleged orders from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to leave no survivors, launched over a dozen strikes on suspected drug-running vessels, resulting in over 80 deaths. A specific incident involved a missile strike in the Caribbean, where two survivors of the initial attack were reportedly killed by a second strike on orders to eliminate all witnesses. These actions have drawn intense scrutiny, with legal experts labeling them as potential war crimes and extrajudicial killings due to the lack of legal justification and the alleged targeting of individuals posing no imminent threat. Despite this scrutiny, the administration has stated that they are engaged in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels and the Department of Justice claims military personnel won’t face criminal prosecution.

Russia ready to “fight to the last Ukrainian,” Putin says amid US peace drive, and frankly, that statement is chilling. It’s the kind of thing that makes you pause and really consider the implications. It boils down to a horrifying willingness to sacrifice an entire population, painting a bleak picture of the conflict’s end game. The sheer callousness implied, the disregard for human life, is just… shocking. And the fact that this comes amid what’s being framed as a “US peace drive” adds another layer of complexity, almost a cruel irony.
The blatant disregard for the value of Ukrainian lives is hard to stomach.… Continue reading
