Things not going well in Venezuela
From The Hill: The Trump administration has asserted that the U.S. is in a “non-international armed conflict” (NIAC) with “designated terrorist organizations,” as backed up by a classified opinion authored by the Justice Department’s Office of Legal Counsel, which argues that because U.S. troops participating in the strikes are taking orders that are in line with the laws of war, they cannot be prosecuted. “But ‘NIAC’ is a legal term of art which requires certain facts that are not met here,” said Sarah Harrison, a senior analyst at the International Crisis Group. “That means the law of war is not applicable and thus these are not war crimes, but rather murders or extrajudicial killings.” Harrison, who is a former associate general counsel at the Department of Defense (DOD), argued what is “distinctly disturbing” about the Sept. 2 strikes is that even with the U.S. not being engaged in a war with drug traffickers, the DOD is “operating under the assumption” that it is and is “claiming it is applying the law of war.” “But every officer and enlisted is trained to know that it is a textbook war crime to execute individuals who are ‘hors de combat’ or ‘out of the fight,’” Harrison told The Hill on Monday. “That no one down the chain of command refused this patently illegal order is shocking and sheds more light on the breakdown of the rule of law within DOD under the leadership of Secretary Hegseth.” ————— Since they mentioned Navy SEALS, I would not be surprised if the admiral gave the team the orders directly, so there isn’t much of a chain of command. Whiskey Pete does appear to be looking for a scapegoat so he knows how serious this is.

Gotta hurry and get those tariff rebate checks out there. If the Rs fuck up healthcare which they are trying, he may want to get the checks out there before January 1st.- Ukraine War

Should have posted this here instead of in the “very cool” thread. I’ve never flown on one of these, but have flown on a Chinook (which I know is larger) and it just fucking amazes me. I know these pilots were doing this dozens of times a day, but still, that flare…..- Most annoying Christmas Movies

I heard something that they either launched the missile themselves or had pinpointed the target somehow, but it all seemed odd why they were mentioned and why they were involved, since we have drones that do this stuff now. Like I said, if they were involved, it's because the powers that be wanted things quiet about what the orders were. I am guessing that the admirals involved are not going to take the fall by themselves.- Things not going well in Venezuela
The cover-up begins. Gonna have to go to war to justify these strikes (well it won't be justified legally, but in their head canon it will be). Will be interesting to see who still has a chair when the music stops.- Trump’s America
Shorter chain-of-command and easier to keep things quiet since pretty much everything they do is classified at a higher level, so fewer people in the loop. Also, probably a lot of verbal orders that can be denied by various people in said chain-of-command.- Trumps War on drugs, Venezuela and Colombia
I hope somebody gets him in front of Congress and the cameras. I can’t see these career officers going down because of what whiskey Pete and Trump wanted to do in Venezuela. I’m glad to see this thing is getting blown up in the media. Although now I think the chances of us going to war with Venezuela went way up so that they can justify the strikes.- Trump’s America

Could be their version of warrant officers. They have them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Army_ranks_and_insignia_of_the_Russian_Federation#Other_ranks If you click on the Russian words for warrant officer and senior warrant officer, it takes you to pages discussing their use, similar to how we use them. Could also include officer cadets and maybe federal police officers.- 2026 Midterms ...
But we don’t have military snipers knocking off Mexicans trying to cross the border, or helicopters shooting them for that matter. He treats them like shit and they are disappearing under ICE detention, but the military hasn’t killed over 80 of them like we did with Venezuelans I think it’s probably a mix of Epstein files and oil, but it’s interesting that Venezuela is now the #1 threat in the world to the United States.- Trumps War on drugs, Venezuela and Colombia
It maybe Congress’s only chance to stop an invasion of Venezuela. And he does not have enough support in Congress as it is, otherwise he wouldn’t be trying to use 9/11 bullshit to justify this, but would have asked for the authority. He keeps track of what elected Republicans say about him and he knows there’s enough resistance to war with Venezuela. The fact that Trump is trying to deny it happened in his own way is significant. This is the guy who bragged about killing an Iranian general, who has openly talked about six Dems in Congress should be executed. And then somebody told him this is a problem and all of the sudden he doesn’t think it’s right to kill two dudes clinging to wreckage, even though he claimed their boatload of drugs would have killed 25,000 Americans. Somebody told him this wasn’t good. Maybe they even told him that this was the kind of illegal orders that Kelly and others were warning about. Maybe it’s why we’ve seen a couple of senior officers step back or step down. Trump is up to something, and we may have been days away from civilian Venezuelan aircraft being shot down by American fighters, but this “double tap” thing has him spooked so me thinks there’s a lot more to it.- Ukraine War
@Brisketexan Will appreciate this. to all my republican friends.. i was one of you. for 40 years i have voted republican.. but this shit is out of control, even russia is saying this "peace plan" is just going to give them the chance to rearm for the next war.. we want to win, we want to support our friends, we dont want to trade europe for russia (we cant have both). we are tired of the orange child throwing fits. we want to know why the only country without tariffs is russia.... we want to know how why we are officially broke and trump is spending BILLIONS on himself (plane, white house, F47 (not ready), and the white house... someone is paying for all that gold).. i remember when being a republican meant for something, and yes biden was shit.... but you dont change out blue shit with red shit... you do better... republicans stand up and for something!!!! do better.. would Ronald Reagon, or Lincoln stand by trump???? NO, so why are you??? even if that means taking one for the team (USA) and staying home next november.... NO i will NEVER be a dem, but i will never be a maga POS either.... thank you proud conservative, Texan, combat vet US ARMYFootball ... Basketball ... Baseball ... Other Sports ...
