The international criminal court will have something to say about this.
The Hague is going to be busy once Orange Adolf is out of power. A lot of folks "just folling orders" will be going to prison along with Trump admin officials.

This was all announced when the first tanker was taken. The US knows which ones are pirate breaking sanctions tankers.

I can't imagine why so many Ukraine fans are upset over this. These tankers were breaking sanctions, Biden was too afraid of blowback to stop them.

Why aren't the Anti-Putin fans cheering? Why would the ICC prosecuting the sanction enforcement against Putin?

That's why Trump is threatening the ICC with sanctions if they don't change their rules to shield him from prosecution.

"Trump bombed a group of terrorist involved in killing of military personnel."

Why'd Trump send military personnel there to get killed in the first place?

I'm not hiding anything.
Trump is hiding his "drug boat" murders behind War on Terror AUMFs.
AUMFs that don't apply to Venezuela.
