The latest attack -- which now number at more than 60 -- brings the number of people who have been killed in boat strikes by the U.S. military to more than 210 people since the Trump administration began targeting those it calls "narcoterrorists" in early September. https://to.pbs.org/4gAAJu4

Trump is not killing these people. He is murdering them.

Trump is a sadist aspiring to be the god of sadists.

Many already worship him.

This is America's legacy.

You don't see too many people parsing out which Germans were Nazis and which weren't.

In the world's eye, we're all MAGA.

Congratulations America.

Amerikkka is the serial killer of the New World, Russia is the sequence killer of Europe, and Israel is the mass murderer of the Middle East, like Jeffery Dahmer, Jack the Ripper, Son of Sam, or Dylann Roof.

To cite another drudge.com blogger from several months ago: "Prove me wrong."

This is the perfect time for pedo 47 to blow up some more Venezuelan fishermen.

Anyone seen the regime's written legal justification for what appears to be state-conducted murder in international waters?

Anyone?

Buehler?

Murders all, and those who ordered those attacks, extrajudicial killings of criminal subjects, murderers. And one fears that the greatest murder of them all is the UN and the International Criminal Court...with the rule of law dead and gone, all that is left is gangster goons strutting up the place.

Illegally.

Illegally destroying boats. Full of people.

And how do YOU know they were "illegal"?

Also maybe define "illegal".

"The Trump administration has murdered over 210 civilians with no sound legal or moral basis. At a minimum, the administration must disclose to the American people why it thinks this killing spree is lawful."-Jeffrey Stein, staff attorney with the ACLU's National Security Project.

Contrary to the government's public assertions, the U.S. is not, and could not be, in an armed conflict with Latin American drug cartels.

Under international law, an armed conflict between a state and a non-state actor exists only if the non-state actor is an "organized armed group" that is structured and disciplined like regular armed forces and is engaged in "protracted armed violence" against the state.

There is no plausible argument that any drug cartel satisfies this test vis-a-vis the United States.

Release the legal justification.

So we can laugh in your face.
