“All the strikes so far have been illegal under both domestic and international law,” she said. “All of them constitute murder because none of the victims, whether or not they were smuggling illegal narcotics, posed an imminent threat to life. Congress must take action now to stop the US military from murdering more people in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific.”
“Intercepting purported drug boats is a law enforcement operation, subject to policing standards derived from international human rights law, which holds that all people have the rights to life and a fair trial, and only allows states to use lethal force when an imminent threat to life exists,” she said. “A state intentionally killing someone outside those circumstances is committing an extrajudicial execution, a form of murder, no matter what crime the person is alleged to have committed.”
So I fully admit to being far too ignorant of how this works, but at what point does someone international do something about this? Are there not international arrest warrants out for Putin? When does an international court put out an arrest warrant for Hesgeth or Trump and make it so they can’t leave the country? When does the international community start sanctioning the US for this bullshit?
Self protection is my guess. It would have to be a tide turn to withstand the repercussions.
Trump and putin are both bullies with armies and nuclear bombs to back them up. Putin is losing his grip on the army standpoint, but he still has the bombs. Trump is losing his grip on the staying alive front, because he looks sickly as hell and is falling asleep left and right. But he still has a toddler revenge thing going on and an army+ to back him up.
