Date: December 5th, 2025 9:36 PM Author: average/ordinary/typical citizen/person What take do you want? Where they were headed is irrelevant if we're in an armed conflict and they're members who carry out continuous combat function within that drug trafficking organization. The law treats them like ordinary members of state armed forces. You can kill them anywhere. It's irrelevant if they're carrying weapons or asleep in their barracks or taking a shit. Only time you can't, maybe, target them is when they're on leave from combat away from theatre but that's not really actually true especially in NIAC against non state armed groups. The only thing relevant to the war crime aspect is if the guys were incapable of continuing to "fight" but again this is grey because continuous combat function that way. It's like a soldier dropping their arms and running from artillery. At that moment there's nothing to stop any belligerent actor from continuing to target them because there's no reason to think they won't, and in reality will, regroup with the enemy military and continue to fight. Doesnt help that shipwrecked are literal paradigm examples in hundreds of military manuals for people you can't target but the context of that was meant to be in naval engagements where the winners boat is circling a downed enemy vessel and guys are flailing around so sailors don't just shoot at them. The world we're in is different now and even with those examples at least the US makes clear that they actually need to be incapable of fighting even when shipwrecked to have hors de combat protection.
If we're not in an armed conflict it doesn't matter because 18 USC 1111 isn't extraterritorial and we don't know if it can apply to executive action anyways, you'll get hundreds or really 2 opinions on that question. |

R's were/are just sympathetic to drone strikes against Islamic terrorists and Dems weren't ever going to check Obama on it so he had a free lane to do it. The internal enemies of this country will certainly try to bring down Trump with this for the 50th time. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5806808&forum_id=2/#49487668) |

Date: December 6th, 2025 9:34 AM Author: gibberish (?) This is all politically manufactured. Nobody gives a shit about drug runners. Even the libs pushing this don't actually care. Its being used for political posturing. It's one of those topics though that might score points in Congress and the news will try and keep the story going but Americans have seen what these drugs have done to our society and all tacitly agree with killing these people.

Date: December 6th, 2025 10:06 AM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" Keep in mind that the DEA and other federal law enforcement seize less than 1% of illicit drugs coming into this country. These boat attacks are less than a drop in the bucket in terms of total drug inflow. It's just a propaganda tool for some insane foreign policy goals.

Date: December 6th, 2025 10:36 AM Author: '"'"''"'"'''"''" It's certainly not effective as a deterrent at all. A few lost lives and intercepted shipments have never slowed down cartel activity.
Even direct military intervention isn't effective in the long-term; in countries that supply illicit drugs, drug trafficking is a cornerstone of the economy and political system. Take down one cartel, and a new one inevitably pops up. Kick out one corrupt politician, and a new one becomes corrupt eventually. It's simply impossible to stop the flow of drugs into the country for multiple reasons: it's easy to get drugs across the border, there's a lot of money in it, and there will always be demand. |
