    The United States specifically charged [Honduran ex-president Juan Orlando] Hernández with accepting millions of dollars in bribes from narcotraffickers since 2004, and in particular the Sinaloa Cartel, led at the time by Joaquín "El Chapo" Guzmán, since 2012. The indictment states that Tony Hernández collected the bribes using men armed with machine guns; in exchange, Juan Orlando Hernández conspired to protect smugglers from investigation and arrest, specifically providing "access to law enforcement and military information, including data from flight radar in Honduras."

    Hernández's trial began on 21 February 2024 in New York City and concluded on 8 March, when he was found guilty of drug trafficking. On 26 June, he was sentenced to 45 years in prison.

    Trump distancing himself from the second strike

    "I don’t know that that happened and Pete said he did not want them, even know what people were talking about, so we'll look in –we'll look into it," Trump told reporters. "But no, I wouldn’t have wanted a second strike. The first strike was very lethal, it was fine, and if there were two people around, but Pete said that didn't happen. I have great confidence."

    DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE LAW OF WAR MANUAL

    18.3.2.1 Clearly Illegal Orders to Commit Law of War Violations. The
    requirement to refuse to comply with orders to commit law of war violations applies to orders to
    perform conduct that is clearly illegal or orders that the subordinate knows, in fact, are illegal.
    For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal.[27] Similarly, orders to
    kill defenseless persons who have submitted to and are under effective physical control would
    also be clearly illegal.28 On the other hand, the duty not to comply with orders that are clearly
    illegal would be limited in its application when the subordinate is not competent to evaluate
    whether the rule has been violated.29
    Subordinates are not required to screen the orders of superiors for questionable points of
    legality, and may, absent specific knowledge to the contrary, presume that orders have been
    lawfully issued

    [27] Judgement in Case of Lieutenants Dithmar and Boldt, Hospital Ship “Llandovery Castle” (Second Criminal
    Senate of the Imperial Court of Justice, Germany, Jul. 16, 1921), reprinted in 16 AJIL, 708, 721-22 (1922) (“It is
    certainly to be urged in favor of the military subordinates, that they are under no obligation to question the order of
    their superior officer, and they can count upon its legality. But no such confidence can be held to exist, if such an
    order is universally known to everybody, including also the accused, to be without any doubt whatever against the
    law. This happens only in rare and exceptional cases. But this case was precisely one of them, for in the present
    instance, it was perfectly clear to the accused that killing defenceless people in the life-boats could be nothing else
    but a breach of the law. As naval officers by profession they were well aware, as the naval expert Saalwiachter has
    strikingly stated, that one is not legally authorized to kill defenceless people. They well knew that this was the case
    here. They quickly found out the facts by questioning the occupants in the boats when these were stopped. They
    could only have gathered, from the order given by Patzig, that he wished to make use of his subordinates to carry out
    a breach of the law. They should, therefore, have refused to obey.”).

    Deliberately killing castaways and injured swimmers is strictly a war crime under international and US law

    [COLOR=#000000][FONT=InterVariable]https://www.washingtonpost.com/natio...s-boat-strike/
    Do you deliberately come here to spread disinformation or are you just so stupid that you fall for it every, single, time?

    And at referring to designated terrorists in a stateless flagless boat running narcotics as "castaways and injured swimmers" You are ing shameless

    If this board wasn't so dead and there were more than five people here to embarrass you in front of I'd take the time to insert every bluesky screen shot and link you posted into the below to show how you fell for this every single step of the way. Strange how your constant updates stopped once the NYT piece broke.



    Long explainer:

    Let’s examine the emerging “scapegoat” narrative, because it demonstrates the true objective of the Democrat/Regime Media/Fredocon axis - to hurt Trump politically and to stop the changing of the Pentagon from a leftist-supporting social pathology Petri dish back into a patriotic war-fighting force that can effectively prevent the eventual color revolution they are working toward.

    At the threshold, let’s understand that there was nothing illegal here. Even under the facts as alleged, which change as they keep shifting the goalposts, there was no violation of the law of war. There was no violation of any Geneva Convention, not least because no Geneva Convention applies here. So, everything I say here is simply taking their story du jour and testing it to see if it makes internal sense. It does not, because it’s all baloney. They don’t care. It’s the lie that’s important.

    So, just last week, we had a bunch of Democrats claiming they were just helpfully explaining to our troops that our troops cannot follow illegal orders. The whole basis is that you were going to be issued an illegal order by some Trump higher-up, and that you should disobey it because it’s illegal. This was part of a narrative to tee-up the current fake scandal.

    Then, after a Democrat-imported jihadi s bag murdered a soldier and wounded another, they had to accelerate their narrative and get that embarrassing fact off the front page. So, last Friday, the Washington Post dropped a story by a reporter who has lied about Russiagate, the Hunter Biden laptop, and other anti-Trump hoaxes. This story allegedly has two anonymous sources offering double hearsay that Pete Hegseth gave an order to kill all the narco terrorists in a strike. The operation commander, a SEAL admiral, then gave the order for a first and a second attack on the ship. That was the meat of the story – Pete was personally responsible for ordering the deaths of allegedly helpless narco terrorists.

    The Pentagon immediately denied that the story, as a whole, was true. Remember, the gist of the story is that Pete personally ordered the deaths of these drug mules. The regime media and Democrats either claimed that the Pentagon was not denying the story or simply rejected the denials.

    The Twitter experts – the ones who suddenly became epidemiologists when Covid hit and economists when Trump imposed tariffs – suddenly became experts in the law of armed conflict. They pointed out that you’re not allowed to kill a shipwrecked enemy. But they didn’t point out that you are allowed to re-attack a vessel that hasn’t sunk yet. There’s no one-shot rule. Between a combination of ignorance and deliberate deception, they’ve tried to erase that.

    Well, then the New York Times published an article saying that Pete Hegseth did not personally order the second attack. That attack order came from the operation commander. The original article alleged that Hegseth ordered them all to be killed regardless of their status. Karoline Leavitt at the White House told the press substantially the same thing as the NYT

    Well, that revelation was inconvenient to the narrative. Remember, the narrative isn’t about killing drug dealers. It’s about Pete Hegseth personally ordering the killing of them in a way that’s illegal. Now, the facts indicate that Pete Hegseth didn’t do this. He didn’t give the order to kill them. The admiral gave the order to attack the vessel a second time because it was not completely destroyed.

    But that doesn’t help their narrative. It needs to be Pete Hegseth. They don’t want some admiral – that doesn’t meet their objective, and normal people are going to look at it and side with the admiral. So, what to do? Well, accuse Pete Hegseth of throwing the Admiral under the bus. Of course, what that would mean is that he is shifting his responsibility onto the admiral. But wait – the NYT says that Pete didn’t have any responsibility to begin with. Further, the Democrats just got through telling us that we shouldn’t obey illegal orders. If anyone should, an admiral should certainly know what an illegal order is.

    But let me emphasize, the admiral did nothing wrong. Again, I’m simply charting the internal inconsistencies of this bogus hit on Pete Hegseth.

    Now, they are also going with another argument. That is that the entire mission is illegal. They have decided, without support, that it is unlawful for us to destroy enemies who are not part of a nation-state's army from bringing poison into the United States. Now, if they were bringing mus gas, instead of fentanyl and cocaine, presumably it would be OK to kill them – or maybe not under their logic.

    But there’s no free pass. That’s because it’s not the law. They are unlawful combatants, and we can kill them on the high seas. This is why there are no pirates or slavers in the Atlantic. We killed them pursuant to the law. The law has not changed; apparently, we’re only allowed to avail ourselves of the parts of the law that they misinterpret to limit our capacity to defend ourselves, rather than the parts that enable us to defend ourselves from people who kill nearly 100,000 Americans a year

    So, that’s where we are. Under the facts as alleged, Pete Hegseth didn’t do anything wrong. He didn’t give this kill order. As a result, the haters have had to shift their arguments. The problem is that their previous arguments about illegal orders have trapped them. If they argue that the entire operation is unlawful, or even that the second strike is unlawful, it would mean that the admiral and the dozens, maybe hundreds, of military people involved are all committing more crimes by giving or following a legal order.

    That’s not what they want. They don’t want the admiral or any of the soldiers. They want Pete Hegseth, and now they can’t have him. So, they’re going to throw the whole illegal orders thing out the window and try to change the subject to accusing Hegseth of shifting the blame that he doesn’t bear to the admiral, who, under their theory, does bear it.

    Yes, it’s totally inconsistent. No, it doesn’t make any sense. But that’s not its purpose. It has nothing to do with what the facts or evidence, or law say or require. It’s a political hit job designed to get rid of Pete Hegseth and replacing with somebody pliable – many of us know who they prefer - and hurt Trump. Don’t buy into it.

    rando Venezuelan and Trini fishermen, drug-runners and gasoline smugglers, are not in any conventional sense combatants, nor are they at war with the US in any usual sense of the word

    the pretext that the US is actually at war with them would be ridiculous if it weren't so deadly

    narcoterrorist is a neologism, we already have laws about narcotics smuggling and terrorism. I guess Trump had to make up a new superlegal designation to do more superlegal stuff.

    the kernel of superlegality is that there are moral concerns -- e.g., crime, corruption, communism, immigration, race-pollution, liberal decadence, terrorism and so forth -- so urgent and overpowering that the law and public decency must yield to the prerogative of the sovereign to create the state of exception to cons utional order and the law to save the country.

    (for Carl Schmitt, the sovereign was the living embodiment of the folk and the law -- Hitler. the test of who's a sovereign for Schmitt is creating the state of the exception)
