How are these orders illegal?

Let us count the ways

1. War Powers Resolution
The War Powers Resolution requires the president to notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30-day withdrawal period, without congressional authorization for use of military force (AUMF) or a declaration of war by the United States. The resolution was passed by two-thirds each of the House and Senate, overriding the veto of President Richard Nixon.

President Piggy has not received the required congressional law.

2. Drug Smuggling is NOT a capital offense.

3. There is evidence that the boats were human trafficking and not drug smuggling.

4. It is HIGHLY illegal to kill shipwrecked sailors-nazi U-boat commanders were prosecuted and put to death for this.

5. These unarmed ships posed zero threat to the US or its armed forces.

6. Venezuela is NOT a source of Fentanyl.

7. Drug smugglers are NOT terrorists.

8. The victims are civilians and, as such, are considered innocent.

9. The victims are unarmed.

10. We are not at war with Venezuela

etc.

I know it is pretty wild but if I remember correctly the Akagi was only hit with one bomb that exploded. The bomb pierced the flight deck and exploded on the hanger deck amidst scores of fueled armed torpedo bombers causing a catastrophic explosion. It is believed Richard Best was the pilot that hit her and he later that same day hit the Hiryu. A remarkable feat hitting and sinking 2 carriers in one day.

Can't speak to the attack though from what I recall the attacks on the atolls in early 42 were nothing more than pin ------.

I know it is pretty wild but if I remember correctly the Akagi was only hit with one bomb that exploded.
Was that when they got caught with their pants down trying to rearm planes from land to naval attack formations?

yeah, but there is debate about how actually out of timing they were. The Americans also lucked out with the --- cap being drawn low to fight torpedo bombers (which the ---anese thought was a greater threat-though American torpedo bombers decidedly were not-irony being ---anese torpedoes and torpedo bombers were far superior than Americans at this point in the war) So you had a situation where the ---anese were very sensitive to torpedoes because they were so good at them while downplaying the threat to dive bombers which they viewed as far less of a threat due to the difficulty of hitting a moving carrier. The first successful DB attacks on CVs was at Coral Sea

But yeah that was a rough 10 minutes for the ---anese.

" It is HIGHLY illegal"
As opposed to what, lowly illegal? Mediumly illegal?

Point being is that it is criminal enough in wartime but this regime can't even argue that justification

Let us be clear

Every
Single
Bomb
Dropped
or
Missile
Fired
is
ILLEGAL

Full Stop

Even by their OWN standards every attack is illegal.

They want it to be an armed conflict?

They had 60 days to get authorization

They did not

it is not even close

EVERYONE in the chain-of-command, from Hegseth to the man or woman pulling the trigger, should be prosecuted

And President Piggy should be impeached.

Immediately

Just a reminder that President Piggy promised to pardon a major drug kingpin.

Trump can just pardon whomever he throws under the bus, it's not a state crime.

Seems like the system has a problem imbedded in it.

"Let's make one thing crystal clear: That guy over there is the guy you want."

LOL

America quakes in it's boots at a poverty stricken Venezuelan clinging to some pieces of wood in the middle of the Caribbean. Need to drop a 1,000 ton bomb on him.

But yeah that was a rough 10 minutes for the ---anese.

LOL on the censor

As an aside I want to point out that I was on this weeks ago when it first became known.

Like usual the world catches up with my brilliance.

At the presidential suck President Piggy's dick meeting, aka Cabinet meeting, Hegseth said, essentially, he witnessed first bomb hit, saw the boat aflame and left for another meeting "not waiting around for another hour or 2"

He said it was 'fog of war' and the boat posed a threat after the first bomb.

He said the admiral (can't recall his name) ordered the second strike and he supported him

Either the admiral issued an illegal order OR obeyed an illegal order.

Either way a court martial is necessary and the facts of the matter should come out.

If this admiral had half a brain he should have gotten written orders

If he didn't well he is an idiot.

Either way the admiral is a criminal.

China's disingenuous pandering to the 'global south

China has chosen to invest in the global south and is reaping the benefits

President piggy can't be bothered to attend the g20 you know where deals are made
Then wonders why China is getting access to all of the minerals

All this is an obvious result of having a massively corrupt government

We told you
You chose anyway

Thanks magat scum
